I pulled this out of the cellar a couple of weeks ago and never got around to drinking it. Lazy thing that I am, rather than look up which shelf it belonged on, I just left it in the box on the floor in the basement, but tonight I needed a wine to go with dinner and there it was calling out.... “Driiiiink Meeeeeee.” So now I’m swimming in a blissful little pond of strawberry and cranberry tinged with dried herbs and the light woody bitterness of juniper. There’s a lovely savory note that lingers in the finish with gauzy wispy tannins that you don’t notice unless you’re really paying attention. Great acidity, and just a lovely presence. Yum! 2016 Lapierre Julienas, Beaujolais, Burgundy, France.

Made from 70+ year-old Listsn Blanco vines grown high up (1100m) the sides of the Tenerife volcano. 2018 Envinate “Benje” Blanco, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

Restaurants are in danger of a mass extinction event. If we care about them, there’s work we need to do. My latest article on Vinography outlines 5 things that every one of us can do to help save the cornerstones of our communities. And in the process, do an awful lot of good for the wine industry as well. Link in bio.... Photo by Kelly Sikkema @ Unsplash.
