Action is a sweetheart. While relatively new to the natural wine scene, he has an honesty to his tasting and feedback. The appearances had an odd effect I couldn’t expect, I came away a better person for the experience. If you want to watch, please, head to the Viceland Site. The wines? Right. Christy Frank had the Lambrusco for me–she also has my sanity. (You do know she edits the website for me and keeps my brain in hers for safe-keeping.) So she was on the way to meet me to head to the studios while I snatched some beloved wines from my personal stash. Here they go. Action’s taste was interesting. He has clear likes and dislikes though not yet able to articulate why. However, I love this detective work. Like what is it about Georgian wine that stops him from loving them? Iago’s which by the way was stunning, failed him. “Nice. I can drink it, but why don’t I love it?” It is odd. He drinks skin contact wines. My guess it is the way the malo shows in the wine but he and I need to sit down and discuss this. I have a feeling he might not like chenin from schist either. But his top love was another skin-contact La Garagista’s Loup d’Or (hello Brianna). The Mistico from Bichi and the Lambrusco. But for me? This four some was simply a punch of deliciousness. |
