Open that Bottle Night

It feels like there seems to be any reason to drink wine these days. Whether it’s World Malbec Day or World Champagne Day or whatever else, the truth is, I don’t need an excuse to drink wine but there is one night in the calendar that is always special.
Open that bottle night!
Why? It’s a reminder to pull out THAT bottle you have been saving for a special occasion. Why can’t ANY night be a special occasion? Obviously in moderation but every day you wake up is a good day so why not open THAT special bottle! Here’s what I’ll be opening this weekend!
Champagne Lombard “Les Ribauds” lieu dit Villedommange
100% Meunier I’m OBSESSED with 100% Meunier champagne at the moment. they are floral and ripe, crisp and fresh. This champagne has so much personality and goes SO well with food.
Le Cret de Bine Beaujolais Blanc
100% Chardonnay with all the malo, all the oak, all the oxy notes. So maybe most people would see this as more of a weird/soms wine but it’s really interesting. Its preservative free and biodynamic, it’s from a female led winery and I’ve been vibing with it.
This is one of the most unique wines I’ve tasted. I love Cabernet Franc in general and to have it as a rosé just makes it so much easier to drink. It’s spicy, full of jammy red and blue fruit. If you closed your eyes, it’s like drinking a chilled red. Its a limited release but very special
Montesanco Mon Bobal Centenario
Oh my…this wine is special. VERY small production, biodynamic and from vines that are pre-phylloxera which is quite special for Spain. Really RICH purple and red fruit. Its spice. Its chocolate. It’s concentrated as heck. It just needs a steak and it’s good to go.
SO, that's what I’ll be opening this weekend with some friends for Open that bottle Night. Let me know what you will be openi
