    What We’re Drinking – 2015 Joseph Drouhin Pouilly-Vinzelles

    A beautifully classic white Burgundy wine: in fact, this is the style of wine that got me interested in wine in the first place. If you chill the bottle in your refrigerator, you’ll want to take it out 15-30 minutes before drinking so the wine can show off its various

    Melvin Matteson has serious reservations about becoming a media star. For decades, he has grown hundreds of acres of corn on his farm in Winthrop, Iowa, with little more to worry him other than the occasional tornado. Now, in semi-retirement, everyone, it seems, wants Matteson to show them his cornfield.

    Don't be fooled by the low price and the readily available small bottles - this is a perfectly lovely little sparkler that will work for mimosas or a celebratory toast, but at this price it's best use is an every day sparkling wine to pair with everything from popcorn and

    What do a fine wine and a good perfume have in common? Exactly: the olfactory element. Why does this matter? Because our sense of smell can put us in contact with our deepest and most personal life experiences -- as if we all were new Prousts seeking individual Madeleine moments.

    Black at the core, with magenta only showing around the edges. The nose is rich with black fruits, spice, and buttery coconut. Petite Verdot, just 2% of the blend, has a huge anchoring effect, grounding the wine in dark, loamy earth with hints of deep ripeness. Soaring above the earth,

    The color is a pale gold. The nose offers classic viognier aromas of tropical fruits and citrus blossoms. Tropical fruits lead on the palate. Meyer lemon and mango lead, with banana and coconut in the background. The finish falls off a bit quickly, but this is a pleasant quaff, and

    The wine is opaque in the center, garnet around the edges. Aromas of dark fruits, deep earth, herbs, and unsweetened chocolate all roil up from the glass, offering a full, rich mouthful. Petite Sirah gives an anchor to Zinfandel and Carignane lifts it, altogether giving an incredibly broad spectrum of

    The color is a pale straw. Tropical fruits and vanilla waft up from the glass. Mango and lightly-poached pear lead on the palate, with brighter, more tart fresh pear and apple on the mid-palate. This is a very pleasant quaff, a bit fat, easy to pair. Drink with a fried
