What Are We Drinking Now? Vieira de Plata Albariño & Gómez Cruzado Rioja

Read all about Bob's experiment with pairing wine with cod. Vieira de Plata Albariño & Gómez Cruzado Rioja Ever try to pair a wine with a meal, and it just doesn't work? I'm usually pretty good at it, even when you stretch the rules, but here I stretched a little too much and did a red with cod and it just didn't work. I thought my smoky Spanish romesco sauce would bridge the gap and make the dish work with my Spanish Rioja. It was obvious that this was a chance I should not have taken. This old-world Tempranillo [...]

What Else Are We Drinking Now? Brand Weissburgunder Pfalz 2019

Fleur is drinking Weissburgunder two ways. Brand Weissburgunder Pfalz 2019 What does a hot (that's sweaty-hot) girl do with a liter of natural German Weissburgunder? After being reunited with this luscious limestone-driven heartthrob, I was torn... Should I indulge in a decadent Monday night charcuterie dinner? Or would I create a spritely stone fruit Sangria blanca? You know me...Why not both??? Tart plum, white peach, kumquat, and delicate notes of Seville orange are laced together by this wine's tingling acidity and finish of wet stone — piquancy that matches perfectly with Cypress Grove's "Little Giant" bloomy-rind goat cheese, Divina [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? 2001 Salexis Napa Valley Merlot for Father’s Day

Kevin has a vintage Merlot for your classic Dad. 2001 Salexis Napa Valley Merlot Yes, you read that correctly: It DOES say 2001. This beautiful Napa Valley Merlot was made by John Gibson, who earned his stripes working for Chappellet, Stag's Leap, and Vin Cliff before starting this project, Salexis. The wine shows its age in the color (a dark garnet) but all of the aromas of raspberry, blackberry, coffee, and chocolate still remain. A super-big wine at 14%, this should be the anchor to that special Father's Day meal, especially if there's a giant hunk of red meat [...]

James is keeping cool (and being cool) with Mythology's Botanical Gin. Mythology Foragers Botanical Gin It's 90 degrees and the sun is shining, summer has officially arrived in Denver!

What Are We Drinking Now? Krasno Orange Wine

Marshall is all about this orange wine from Slovenia. You will be, too. Krasno Orange Wine To me, each wine is an adventure. A new bottle can bring me to the hills or shores of new lands as much as a book or painting. I'm always searching for new wines, so when I saw an orange wine from Slovenia, I had to try it. Orange wine gets its name from the hue it takes on either through prolonged skin contact — similar to a rosé — or through aging in clay amphorae; this one gets its color from the [...]

What Are We Drinking Now? Petulante Pet Nat Rosé

Heidi pairs this bubbler with relaxing on a gorgeous day. Petulante Pet Nat Rosé Ok, so...last week Jericho introduced you to Petulante Bianco. Now it's time to taste their perfectly pink Pet Nat rosé. ("Pet Nat" is short for pétillant naturel, and we also see Pet Nat displayed as Pét-Nat. If you'd like to know what the heck a Pet Nat or a Pét-Nat is, here's a great article in Food & Wine.) Vibrant in the glass, this organic wine sips watermelon, sour cherry, and strawberry. It drinks soft and easy with a slightly salty finish. I paired [...]
