Discover magnificent products made by passionate California-based artisans, enough to warm us up with autumn fast approaching with these products that recall the warmth of California!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of course, the latter is not produced in California, but in Mexico, but its founder, Taylor Steele, was born there and now lives there after travelling the world. After discovering the world of high-end tequilas in New York, where an artist friend introduced him to tasting premium tequila\u2014while this quickly triggered an unlikely revelation about reclaiming slowness in an increasingly hectic lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the simplicity of tequila, Taylor tapped into an unforeseen opportunity to give purpose to pleasure, intention to indulgence: drink not to disconnect from the everyday, but to slow down and savour every moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the creation of Solento Organic Tequila, Taylor now extends his precious ritual to like-minded people seeking to align themselves with their truest essence. Born in New York, but steeped in California soul, Solento embodies the charming duality that defines Taylor as a global creative, ultimately creating a space for more meaning, connection and the indispensable celebration of presence, even in the fastest-paced lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw this wine on an episode of the Qubec show \u201cCurieux B\u00e9gin\u201d and it was recommended by Michelle Bouffard. Knowing full well that the sommelier\u2019s recommendations are always exquisite, I immediately asked my mother, who lives in another region, to buy it (this wine wasn\u2019t available in Montr\u00e9al and still isn\u2019t. . .) so we could taste it together. But seriously, what a delight! We want more of this wine! It\u2019s available online on the SAQ website, and people from the Outaouais region can find it in several LCBOs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tasted this wine at my mother\u2019s house for her birthday, and to continue the Pinot waltz, it\u2019s easy to drink and pleasant to share. Simple and light, it explodes on the palate. The 10% Petit Verdot makes all the difference!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trinity Oaks Pinot Noir California 2020<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n
Ah Pinot, that red we love. It\u2019s a little peppery on the nose, but so pleasant with the red cherry that stands out and a herbaceous side that\u2019s also very present! On the palate, it\u2019s soft and once again reveals the herbaceous notes with a very light woody finish. What\u2019s more, for every bottle sold, a tree is planted with the non-profit organization Trees for the Future. You\u2019ll enjoy it with a dish that\u2019s not too spicy, like a duck breast, or a delicious grilled-cheese with sharp cheddar and leftover duck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Warmth of California in Cabernet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Here, we\u2019re getting into the big guns, a \u201cbig Cab\u201d as we like them, perfect with a good autumn meat, when the evenings are colder. In 2021, it blends 82% Cabernet Sauvignon and small percentages of the Petite Syrah, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Tannat varieties. You\u2019re really into fruit with plum, blackcurrants, blackberry, as well as dried herbs, clove and maybe even a little chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
