Now that we're all here....
Let's get down to some serious business.... who here has actyally had a gooseberry?! I had them but not until I got tired of lying about Sauvignon Blanc. What else yall be lying about? This is a safe space.

@Tahiirah Habibi yup i sell more wine at the shop and I get booked more now because I don’t posture up my presentations. More of ‘us’ are into hearing about wine in a familiar vernacular. My brother told me that ish be boring so I save the wine-speak for Texsom.

Wine language sounds complicated because it was built that way.
Here’s what people usually mean: ● Dry = not sweet ● Acid = mouth-watering ● Tannins = drying feeling on your tongue ● Body = how heavy the wine feels ● Oak = vanilla, toast, or spice That’s enough to move comfortably. You don’t need more words. You need fewer doubts.

@Rafael Castillo All that stuff is subjective. Structure is what matters in identifying and analyzing wines. What you taste is what you taste. What is factual is the weight, acid levels, dryness levels etc. all that other jargon is dope for wine presentations, imo.

Maison Noir
I swear I'm not endorsed by them (though if Andre Mack is on here, let's talk!) but I do think from a value perspective it's one of the better ones. Their email list does a 50% sitewide on a regular basis which means you can get six bottles of wine for like $10-$15 a bottle and all punch well above that price point. Happy to give recs as well but a big fan!

I’m a fan too and yeah I carry a bunch of his wines at my shop. The maison Noir, Oregogne PN is the truth, Ruth! His newer stuff is dope too especially for when it warms up! The “new noir” rosé and the bottoms up white blend are next level.

In My Glass
Finishing a 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Kirkland brands before I move on to some other red, Rioja perhaps, in order to calm myself (can't find my passport) and enjoy my steak. How's that for one sentence? 🤣

I mean Kirklands wine and other Bev products are white labeled, right?
