Domaine Dupeuble

Beaujolais Gamay 2016

Strawberry jam wine. Drank this during a rare heat spell. Light enough for the warm weather, and fruitiness was very refreshing. Once paired with food, the fruitiness was a bit excessive. — 8 years ago

La Côte Rêvée

Chemin des Sables Rosé Carignan Grenache

Wow, this is an amazing value wine at only $10! I confess, I didn't know anything about la Côtes Rêvée and assumed it was in Provence, due to the sweet lychee aroma. However, the medium plus acidity definitely makes sense for the Loire Valley. This delicate rosé has aromas of slightly underripe strawberry and raspberry, like they were the first crop of late spring. There is a bit of minerality that isn't quite smoke or gravel, but more like soft chalk. I would think from the aromas that the summer of 2015 (this vintage) was hot and they picked the grapes early. The varietals are Carignan (70%, increasingly popular in CA) and Grenache (30%).

I would pair this with a strawberry, goat cheese, and spinach salad or baked salmon with buerre blanc... mmm.... yes, definitely the salmon! Oooh, or shrimp scampi or pasta á la vodka! Definitely a food-friendly wine!

Word of advice: do not over-chill, otherwise you lose the aromas. 57-62 degrees is perfect for this wine, great for porch sitting when the weather is nicer!

This a really nice wine! I drink each vintage and it's fairly consistent. I paired this Vermentino with an angel hair pasta, bathed in an infused truffle cream and mushroom sauce. All of a sudden my humble California abode felt like I was in Sardinia, Italia! Wine can do that! Isn't that why we love it? BEST with food, warm weather and friendships. Waxing poetic is easy after a few glasses of this beauty. And it's a value play! — 8 years ago

Opus One

Silky and smooth, with rich notes of dark chocolate and cherry. I've tried both the 2010 and 2011 vintages and prefer the warmer 2010 vintage to the cooler weather in 2011. — 11 years ago
