So, there I was, not-quite idly scrolling through the Buon Vino website. Scrolling with intent, you might say. They had featured some pet nats on their Instagram feed, and that suddenly sounded like what I needed in my life. More pet nat. (This, as a general rule, is a good idea overall.) So I went […]

Mas Lumen, 2008, Languedoc, France

And it has a fair amount of age on it. Apart from that, I tasted it not knowing much about it. In the glass Dark. Although not quite as dark […]
