Bichi ‘Gorda y Yori’, 2019 – Chenin, Moscatel, Sauvignon Blanc. Been a couple years since I opened one of these and it’s drinking a bit more tame. Previously this was “volcanic mango hi-chew”, now it’s settled into all atalufo mango, lychee, palo santo and a bit of flintiness. Maybe my favorite of the Bichi Wines
Le Nadir ‘le nuit, le silence’, 2021 – Grolleau on Silex soils. A new direct import we’re working with, and just tasting fantastic for such a young winemaker in Anjou – Fabien is only on his third vintage. Brambly, gravelly, with the right kick of acid so it doesn’t feel like a dark berry pie
Mariette et Albéric ‘Charybde en Scylla’, 2022 – a 50/50 split of macerated Chenin Blanc + direct press Chenin Blanc. Another new direct import we’re working with and among 3 new Chenin cuvées we showed recently. A nice balance between enamel-melting acidity and aged Chenin richness. Orange marmalade, lemon verbena, lovely honeyed notes
Karnage ‘Kari’ 2021 – Carignan. I can’t enjoy these guys enough because I think they’re just plain fun. Grape soda through and through, nice bit of leesyness to dry it out and ground things. Adult purple Kool-Aid and perfect for a sunny weekend
Slow Dance ‘Sauvignon Blanc’ 2021 – Sauvignon Blanc. Another that I’m revisiting after more than 6 months of tasting last and this thing is dancing. Last time we were bright and high acid, and with some rest we’ve become deep and slightly herbaceous. Lemon balm, honeydew, subtle saltiness and exactly the touch of oak that brings about a nice roundness

silly question maybe but where do you order your wine glasses from? the one in the first pic with the Bichi wine.
