Hi all, here's just a quick snapshot of what I've been drinking lately. It's a 2012-vintage Cotes-du-Rhone from French winery Saint Cosme. I've had this numerous times before and have always really enjoyed the vintage - it's got pleasing dark berry tastes (think blackberries or currant) with a surprising levity. It's solid and bright but still earthy and strong, and can stand up to hearty Italian meals. I like serving it with steak or starch dishes - you can't go wrong pairing this with a big bowl of sauced pasta and a side of basil, tomatoes and mozzarella.
"Sip and Puff" is the personal blog of food & beverage writer James Liska. That's me! Since 2012, I've written about wine, beer, spirits, food, and restaurants. I focus on fundamental information, tasting notes, and overall thoughts rather than scores, harsh criticism, or arbitrary ratings. This supplements my other work such as writing for District Fray Magazine, creating cocktails, and posting more "everyday" stuff through my Instagram, @baconesque. Enjoy!
