Woohoo, glad our recommendation panned out -- and thanks for tagging us! Yet to try the jalapeño in SB trend, but definitely adding it to the list now. Cheers!

Thanks for the reco - it's always useful to have a solid supermarket wine in an emergency!

Thanks for the compliment! All it takes is shamelessly mining your personal life for tenuous links to wine 😂

I just finished watching Another Round. And I vow to watch it again later this week - mainly because I'm over 40, I can't seem to finish an entire movie in one night (without falling asleep).

It took us three nights to watch! This movie is so good, I had to pause it every ten minutes and talk with my husband about things like the "burden of consciousness"...

Loved this post. I'm feeling inspired and ready to have a glass of wine!

Glad you liked Another Round! And yes, I'm also over 40 and also struggle to finish a movie in one sitting... But that's ok - we just need to turn every movie into a 3-part TV series!

Loved this debrief of a week in wine inspired by Substack. Also the introduction to Aligoté was very much appreciated.

You're welcome! Did you try the Savvy B with jalapenos in the end? I'm curious to hear what you thought...

I did! And honestly, it was alright. The jalapeno (IMHO) simply heightened the pyrazines that exist in Sauvignon Blanc. I can appreciate that consumers who may not know the science behind wine now have something concrete to point to.

Agreed - I was pleasantly surprised too!
