Vintage-dated, estate-grown wine? Sure. Vintage-dated, estate-grown, non-alcoholic wine? That’s a rarity. Bouchaine‘s new rose is made from 100% pinot noir grown at its own vineyards. Let’s dig in. The wine is refreshing and gently fruity, though slightly gummy with overtones of pastry dough and eventually notes of nutmeg. The chewiness helps to evoke a bolder body that isn’t always present in non-alcoholic wines, and which keeps the wine from meandering too close to fruit juice territory.

The 8th edition of the Mount Gay’s Master Blender Selection rum offers up a familiar finishing barrel: Cognac casks, sourced from Remy Martin. This release is aged four years (comparatively short for the MBS) in Barbados and it isn’t finished — its entire life is spent in those Cognac casks. As is customary, we tasted the rum — along with pairings of cheese, salami, dates, and cherry preserves — via a Zoom tasting with Master Blender Trudiann Branker, tuning in from Barbados.
