Say hello to some new wines from Brendan Stater-West. The two Chenin Blancs are from two distinct parts of Les Chapaudaises. 2018 is Brendan’s 1st vintage of Cabernet Franc. The parcel is in Brézé, in the lieu-dit of La Ripaille. Brendan is just the 2nd grower with La Ripaille.

“The only difficultly in ‘17 was the hail. The yield was 50% less than a normal year (average yield in 2017: 19hl/ha). The profile of the wines is somewhere between 2016 and 2015. The tannins are delicate like 2016 and the wines are full-bodied much like 2015.” - @MeeGodard

Chardonnay from Chablis is like no other. Rigorous climate, fossil-studded soils, & overall unmatchable terroir work together to create these insanely coveted bottles that withstand the test of time. Get to know 5 of our favorite Chablis producers, here! hubs.ly/H0j6q4P0

The grave political miscalculation re: Amazon was the singular, obsessive focus on jobs. NYC is not the Rust Belt; it has added tens of thousands of tech jobs in past few years. The crisis is housing. HQ2 wouldn’t have solved that and in fact would have exacerbated
