What’s your gameplan today?

Here’s ours: some sparkles to warm up, while we’re saying hi to friends and noshing on dips and spicy wings. Then, a couple of light reds—a Gamay for burgers, and a Pais for nachos—followed by a versatile, savory mezcal to either celebrate our win, or drown our sorrows for the loss.

For the January edition of A Case Study, Slopey’s monthly wine club, we played with the idea of ‘Dry January’: dry wines made from grapes usually associated with sweet wines.

‘Sweet’ and ‘Dry’ may be the most commonly used wine adjectives out there, but also the most misunderstood. Our Study delved into the many other factors that go into how our palates register ‘dryness’—acidity, tannins, carbonation, alcohol content, the age of the wine, and even the temperature at which is served—and come together in a chorus.

If you think all Rieslings are sweet, or that Tokaj are just exquisite dessert wines, or that Port is great for Christmas, think again. Those grapes, though they make beautiful sweet wines, actually have a huge range when vinified dry.

The Hölzchen Kabinett trocken AP-21 included in the Case Study is an exclusive due to very limited quantities, but there’s still time to snag a few bottles and get our insights onto how to make Dry January more fun.

The summer’s muggy heat, blazing sun and afternoon showers become totally bearable with crisp, taut white—served very cold.

Yvonne Hegoburu's of life is proof that it is never too late to follow our dreams. She passed away this year at the age of 95, but only after having taken on winemaking for the first time at the age of 60. She was inspired by her late husband René, with whom she purchased 16 hectares of land in the Jurançon region in southwest France. Yvonne would recall how they would excitedly discuss their winemaking dreams, and when he unexpectedly passed away in 1987, Yvonne decided to make the jump, in his honor. She has said “I planted vines when my husband died. Ever since then, all this love inside me, I give it to the vines. I talk to them. I have an exchange with them. I ask them to drive their roots deep down into the soil to get the best from the land.” Yvonne worked the vines tirelessly until she retired in 2014, and today her son Jean-René continues to farm under the tenets of biodynamics and to make wine in the style of his mother. The vineyards are mostly dedicated to Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng, two of southwest France’s most well-known varieties, and this Cuvée Monplaisir is a blend of the two grapes.

Get ready for some zippy acidity! The wine is thirst-quenchingly refreshing, with the zest and piths of limes and green lemons. Thyme and under-ripe peaches fill the middle and a salty backbone of minerality comes through to all past the finish. Shellfish and crustaceans, sand and sunshine will be great pairings with this one!
