First, The Wines: It’s all red today, including 3 blends, a Gamay, a Franc and a Pinot – you’ll also notice that two new wineries make their debut in the e-blast.
The Usual Extras: Four videos and the six articles are linked at the bottom, plus a look back at some podcasts links that are sure to interest you including interviews with Marc Pistor (Fogolar) and Adnan Icel (iCellars).
Rosé News: The 2021 Rose Report tasting is in full swing, each newsletter I will highlight the wines that impressed during the last tasting period – below you will see pictures of this week’s top four roses that really got me thinking summer and warm weather – the real surprise is that under $10 bottle from Spain.
I have launched a Patreon page in an attempt to keep my content free and mostly advertiser free – I have added some concrete incentives for my supporters (but will be adding more in the form of unique and exclusive content) so take a look, see how you can help and know that I really do appreciate any support you can give – you can find it by clicking here.
Be safe – stay healthy – drink well.
