'Fireside Sippers'
As soon as the weather starts cooling down, all I want is to start a big bonfire in the backyard, snuggle under a blanket, and spend time chatting with friends around the flames. In my glass I want minerality, texture, richer fruit and a bit of funk: wines that’ll get us talking, and that will stand up to firesmoke. White Arbois delivers weight and nuttiness; so does the skin-contact Dorcha Oranzna, with added savory spice and dried herbs. For red, I love the volcanic soils of the Canary islands: this Listan Negro shows juicy yet concentrated red fruit and smoky aromas. And when it’s time for s’mores, an easy-going, off-dry and fruity sparkling is my go-to, like this tangy and fun Brachetto.
