{"product_id":"donkey-goat-if-then-red-blend-2023","title":"Donkey \u0026 Goat \"IF \/ THEN\" Red Blend 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eJuicy, crunchy and fresh are the call-outs for this fun and easy-sipping wine. Bright notes of raspberry, blueberry and boysenberry are complemented by herbaceous and floral hints of violets, lavender and sage. The palate delivers a burst of berry compote, with a long finish reminiscent of petrichor after the season’s first rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis blend offers a snapshot of Donkey \u0026amp; Goat style and California as a whole rather than a specific vineyard. D\u0026amp;G harness all of their winemaking craft and blending creativity to create the most delicious wine possible that over-delivers for the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDonkey \u0026amp; Goat calls this wine \"IF \/ THEN\" due to the rubber hitting the road truth of all winemaking and natural winemaking in particular. Just like a chef has to pivot based on what they found at the market that morning, winemakers pivot every vintage based on what mother nature delivers. IF a late set and rain coming THEN we pick prior to perfect everything and still make delicious wine after blending, perhaps stirring the lees, maybe an extended maceration or a “skinny dip” style. Every day the winemakers Tracey \u0026amp; Connor face IF \/ THEN scenarios. Tracey also has a tech background from the last century (1990’s dot coms) which rests upon IF THEN statements for algorithms. And IF THEN statements speak to her ethos of always problem solving with a positivity lens. IF a roadblock appears, THEN find a joyful route full of creativity while taking care of our world and our humans, that ultimately produces a lip smacking delicious wine of character. That about sums up our philosophy at Donkey \u0026amp; Goat, and you can taste it in \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ethis lovely wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e798 cases produced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Donkey \u0026 Goat","offers":[{"title":"750 ml","offer_id":51551440699709,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/2931\/0781\/files\/Donkey-and-Goat-If-Then-Red-Blend-2022.jpg?v=1736473353","url":"https:\/\/shopgeraldines.com\/products\/donkey-goat-if-then-red-blend-2023","provider":"Geraldine's Natural Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
