2018 Côtes du Rhône

Selected by Kermit Lynch
Discount Eligible $12.95
SOLD OUT

A Proustian cookie, a bowl of hot soup, the sound of a familiar voice: life’s simple pleasures. This is another one of them. Spicy, fruity, easygoing. It makes me think of Greg Brown purring his guileless “hey baby hey baby hey baby hey.” Simple, but there’s something profound beneath all that, you know?

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
