Julien Pineau
Le Jubolin Va Savoir!
Field blend of grapes
Organic, natural, hand harvested, no sulfur
Mareuil-sur-Cher, Loire, France
Light cranberry stained glass with a touch of haze. First off chill this baby and then your nose will get a treat of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, red currants, singed orange peel, smidge of fresh cut grass & the turf tossed up with it, and light white pepper. Sipping all of the scents and it’s so kicking it back fun smooth juicy with a tart pop of joy. This is another one of those wines you don’t over dissect like my silly brain does. Just drink this addictive elixir, enjoy, smile, even giggle; and share with family, friends, and even strangers because why not spread the love.
Pairs with Cheez-It’s: oh yeah!
Not long ago I had my first Pineau, “Pork Soda” and it had me squealing in delight, so I had to find out more about the man behind this fine & fun wines. Turns out with his college book smarts he could have go down the road to work in law. Lucky for us his head was turned by working a harvest, receiving a degree in viticulture, working with wonderful wineries, and at last landing at Clos Roche Blanche which happened at just the right time. While Julien was working with Didier Barrouillet & Catherine Roussel, they decided it was time to look toward retirement, so they sold 12 ha to Pineau & Laurent Saillard and they divvied the land up equally. Now back to the bottle, “Le Jubolin Va Savoir!” I’ve been driving myself crazy on where the name came from so I asked my friend & she reached out to her contact and I’m still digging around for more info. It’s evidently from a French skit from the 1980s, where two drunkards are gushing about how the wine is so drinkable. Ok y’all, can someone please let me know who the comedians/group are, what’s the name of the show, and where can I watch it because I want in on the fun. 🍷
