Tasting Notes
Journeys are quite something. Sometimes, you know the path ahead of you, while other times, you are never quite sure. My wine journey is wide open, and I am still determining where the path will lead me. I adore the ever-loving heck, not knowing where I end up.
When Corollary (@corollarywines) launched its Lonesome Rock Sparkling, I took note of the vineyard. Not too long afterward, I noticed a new label, also called Lonesome Rock (@lonesomerock), popped up. I went out for a visit last year, and I am so glad I did. Danny and Susan are amazing people, and their wine journey started right out of college in France. Years later, they have three grown kids, and 2021 was the first vintage of Lonesome Rock.
On Thursday, the episode diving into Lonesome Rock's story drops. Be sure to subscribe on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts to hear how Danny accidentally ended up in a Hospice de Beaune auction.
As for the 2018 Corollary Lonesome Rock Rose Sparkling, it is fan freaking tastic! This is the blind wine I brought for Danny and Susan. Do you think they recognized it came from their vineyard? I thought I had one more bottle of this left, but sadly, this was my last bottle. I need to make some of my Sparklings more challenging to get to!
