Field Recordings is winemaker Andrew Jones’ personal catalog of the people and places he values most. His wines are all about the flavor — with none of the pretension.

 

TASTING NOTES: Pours the color of darkest night. Heady aromas of blueberry pie, luxurious suede couches, ham paninis, unlit menthol cigarettes and Roquefort tarts. Firm tannins anchor flavors of grilled meats, cherry cola, sweet carob and black licorice chews, all cased up together conveniently in a cigar humidifier. Drink now. You know you're going to, anyway.

 

FOOD PAIRINGS:  St Louis Spare Ribs, Twice Baked Potatoes, Hericot Vert with Pancetta, but if you're keeping it casual, Philly Roast Pork and Raab Sando's with garlic fries.
