2018 Côtes du Rhône
Selected by Kermit LynchA 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?
