Our Mystery W**e last week was 2020 Couly-Dutheil Chenin Blanc Les Chanteaux from Chinon area of Loire Valley in France. This producer famously chooses to pick their grapes late, when sugars are plenty. Because 2020 vintage was exceptionally hot, those sugars were fermented to a very high 16% alcohol. Nevertheless, the w**e retains its very classic character with high acidity, bruised golden apple flavors and honey, saffron and ginger brought by the noble rot (botrytis). There was no oak aging here but the w**e was resting on its fine lees for a while which added to a smooth and silky texture. This is definitely a ‘gastronomic’ w**e and would go well with roasted chicken with wild mushrooms and root vegetables. Congratulations to everyone who participated and come see us today and tomorrow for our Mystery W**e of the week. It’s Wednesday and we’re open 4pm-10pm.

Our two last Mystery W**es revealed: last week we had the 2023 Flowers Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast in California. This is cool climate, medium bodied w**e with tons of ripe red berries and blood orange flavors, red roses and a bit of damp forest floor minerality. Very soft low tannins and medium plus alcohol created pleasantly balanced w**e. Extra smoothness added by French oak aging (mostly used). While this week we blind tasted the 2024 Zuccardi Torrontes from Salta in Argentina. It’s a very aromatic, floral w**e made of grapes grown at the high altitude which promotes crisp acidity and ripe fruit character. Geranium, jasmine and lychee dominate the palate with a bitter, long lasting finish. Good job everyone! We had a lot of right answers on both. As of today, it’s Saturday and we’re open 12pm-12am. Brunch till 3pm. Hope to see you this weekend!

Our Mystery W**e last week was 2019 Ritual Sauvignon Blanc from Casablanca Valley in Chile. I have to be frank with you and admit that as a result of a classic brain fa*t, I was convinced the w**e was from New Zealand (w**es from Casablanca Valley are not the most classic examples) and was a bit like: ‘that tastes really odd for a New Zealand Sauv Blanc’… well it does because it’s not. Nevertheless, congratulations to everyone who had Sauvignon Blanc on their radar or any other grape with ripping acidity for that matter. Casablanca Valley has cool maritime climate which results in tarter fruit profile of the w**e and its high acid. It’s a medium-bodied w**e focused on citrus and green apple notes. A bit of roundness comes from lees stirring and partial aging in a concrete egg. The valley experiences very strong afternoon sun which may result in some rubbery or petrol flavors which are usually more commonly associated with certain Rieslings. Good job, y’all! Today is Wednesday, we are open 4pm-10pm and we do have another Mystery W**e for you!

Two of my favorite peppers this year: Biquinho Yellow from Brazil and Buena Mulata that has a very interesting heritage that says: ‘(Capsicum annuum) A very rare, extremely productive, and stunning hot pepper being offered exclusively through Baker Creek! William Woys Weaver introduced us to this pepper from his grandfather’s collection. His grandfather received the pepper from African-American painter Horace Pippin in 1944. Chameleon-like, it undergoes color changes during ripening, from violet to pink, then orange to brown, and eventually to a deep red. The long, round pods reach 6 to 7 inches long and undergo a unique flavor change as they ripen, with the reds being more sweet and meatier than the violet.’
Both seeds bought from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds Super cool people with super cool seeds 😁
