2018 Crozes Hermitage “Goutay”

Barruol / Lynch
Discount Eligible $40.00
SOLD OUT

There is a lot of wine in this wine! So much that it's a wonder they were able to fit it all in there. If I were allowed to say something as ridiculous as candied brambles on a bed of freshly fallen leaves, I might...but I'm not, so I won't. A more sophisticated take is something like, rich and powerful black and blue fruit accompanied by bacon fat, licorice, and herbs. Either way, it is delicious all the same.

Michael Bargo

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
