A good amount of spritz taking a while to flatten, which was fine by me. That and bright acid went nicely with concentrated fruit and a real sense of rocky soil. I'd call this delicious, but I found a distracting (but not overbearing) peanut thing going on.

Couldn't be happier with this Touraine gamay. It's unassuming and unpretentious but shows a real and quite cheery character, thanks to its snappy structure – that's the zingy acidity talking; there are few tannins here – and its clean rhubarb-and-currant flavor profile, which would be a perfect foil for the Thanksgiving meal (I know it's April, but I'm thinking ahead, in case I don't have a bottle of Clos Roche Blanche handy).

Refermenting and bretty, but we found some fruit and a decent amount of interest after venting the enormous amount of CO2. Will drink up though.

Bottle that refermented so had to drink in an "emergency". Good acid, with some fruit, lightweight, fizzy.

Selection Massale-New Releases (Arlequin Wine Merchant, San Francisco): Medium red. Funky, bretty aromatics. Behind that is some nice body and texture and simple cherry fruit. Eh.
