The 2021 Pinot Noir La Bauge Au-Dessus, all from Bien Nacido, is a pretty, ethereal wine with a good bit of stem inclusion and notable overall savoriness. Medium in body, silky and approachable, the Bauge is an attractive mid-tier wine in this range that shows plenty of the house style. Drinking Window 2024-2031.

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips
- Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
- Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
- Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
- Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
