Drink This Wine with Molly Baz "An Everyday Anyway Cuvée" 2023

This chillable "backyard party bottled" delivers joyful, crushable energy with vibrant berry flavors and playful intensity. Translucent ruby hue with juicy raspberry, cherry candy and grapefruit zest flavors. Shows cranberry, watermelon juice, lilac notes and herbal touches with lively acidity and feather-soft tannins. Perfect for those seeking unfussy, natural wines with personality.

Molly Baz is hesitant to categorize this season’s red blend as a red wine, because in reality it'is so much more than just a chillable red wine. Made with a prismatic blend of red, white, rosé and skin contact juice, it’s really more of a kaleidoscope mashup of all of her greatest hits. It’s a joosy-juice as hell, jolly rancher as fuck, taste the rainbow kind of joint with deep red berry flavor, in a playful light-touch kind of way. This is exactly the type of thing you want to be sippin’ on a hot summer's eve, with a platter of cold cuts or a fresh-off-the-grill burga’.

Drink This Wine is a collaboration between cook/food writer Molly Baz and Oregon wine hero Andy Young (The Marigny). They only procure grapes from farmers who are as committed to the land as they are, farming by hand and never with chemicals. If it doesn't come from Mother Earth, it's not in their wine. Fermentation is done with naturally occurring yeasts, present on the grape skins and in the winery's environment -- no cultured or commercial yeast strains.

Making wine this way takes a lot of love and a lot of time. Unlike more commercial wineries, they don't use additives to correct mistakes or change the nature of the wine. Simply put, before they can pour wine into your glass, thousands of things have already gone right. Making you happy is one thousand and one.
