Fableist #373 Cabernet Sauvignon 2021: Paso Robles, California | $25.00 |
Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon Andrew Jones strikes again! Every project he gets involved in is a smashing hit for flavor and value. This project, The Fableist Wine Co. is out of Paso Robles and explores classic and not-so-classic varieties. The purpose is to make delicious, everyday drinking wines, meet your new go-to Cabernet! The Fable #373 says, “Now accept the gift of the Fableist, which has been toiled and moiled over in an attempt to give both weary ants and shiftless cicadas peace of mind, and a belly full of warmth.” If you ever feel like an ant- toiling all day and all night without a break, this wine was meant for you! Drink and enjoy! Tasting Notes: Bold cassis and licorice notes on the palate with a velvety texture and plush, round fruits. The wine goes down like butter and the fruit and spice notes coat your whole palate. It is altogether sumptuous and begs for a second bottle to be opened and shared. Great as a pop and pour Cabernet or paired with steaks. | |
La Quercia Aglianico 2021: Puglia, Italy | $20.00 |
Grape: Aglianico Region/History Notes: Notice the “A Small Vineyards Discovery” sticker on this label and keep your eye out for these stickers in the future. The importer designates a small selection of top-notch and ultra-boutique producers that are family-owned and committed to dry farming, hand harvesting, and low-yield vineyards. Quality is high, but quantity is low on these wines. This is a fun ‘gateway drug’ into the world of the grape Aglianico (pronounced ah-lee-AH-nee-co). While still structured and not shy at all when it comes to its bold tannins, the wine is still approachable and very food-friendly. Tasting Notes: I love the olive component on this wine with its smoky notes, leathery texture, grippy tannins, and loads of black and red fruit—this is a show-stopper, especially for the price! This is food wine, and it would make the perfect pairing for pot-roast. Bonus points for ladles full of made-from-scratch gravy!! | |
Aguila Brut Rosé Crémant De Limoux: Languedoc, France | $17.00 |
Grapes: Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Pinot Noir Region/History Notes: Limoux actually has a longer history of making sparkling wine than Champagne! The region of Champagne perfected the “Champagne Method” where wine undergoes 2 fermentations, the second of which is in the bottle. They also are master marketers so we think of them first when we think of premium sparkling wines! But Crémant de Limoux are always some of my favorite bubbles to pop and pour. The Chenin Blanc, which is usually found in higher concentration in these blends, adds weight and depth to the wine, the Chardonnay keeps the wine bright and clean, and the Pinot Noir adds the strawberry fruits that make this wine so lovely. Tasting Notes: Make sure you have a second bottle already chilled of this wine, because it goes down way too fast!! Wild strawberries and peaches with a hint of sage, the wine is light and soft and utterly crushable. Pair with more of this wine! Best happy hour aperitif bubbles ever! |
