En Numeros Vermells Carinyena 1945
Why we picked it
Don’t get crazy here; we are not offering a wine from the 1945 vintage. This is a wine from a very old Carignan (or more properly, Carinyena) vineyard, planted in 1945. Why is Carinyena the more appropriate name for the grape? Because it’s not a French vine but a Spanish one, and since we’re talking Catalunya, we might as well spell it that way. It’s much like Garnacha ought to be the proper name for the Grenache grape; it too originates in Spain. But Carinyena's finest expression across the globe is here in Priorat; and Silvia Puig, the young but already famed winemaker, has made her reputation on old Carinyena vines.

Aurore de Dauzac
Margaux always sounds intimidating, right? “Oh, excuse me, I only drink Margaux.” Relax — it’s still just fermented grape juice. Really good fermented grape juice… that I’m probably drinking in sweatpants while reheating leftover pizza. This is the second wine of Château Dauzac, a Fifth Growth estate that’s been making wine since the Middle Ages. It’s Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, plush with blackberries, plums, and a little cedar. Aged for a year in French oak, it’s polished and elegant — or at least as elegant as you can feel when you’re pairing it with last night’s Domino’s.

The “Austin” wine is a multiple vintage blend of vineyards in the region; think of it as the ultimate winemaker’s craft for his own table.

The massive Pays d’Oc covers the greater part of Mediterranean France. After the railroad was built, linking the south to Paris, wines of the Languedoc filled the carafes of Parisian bistros, and they still do today. But the last century has seen vast improvements to the wines that once were built only for value. The rest is traditionally made; though used and funky barrels are no longer the norm in the Languedoc, where this tasty wine is crafted.
