What I’m Drinking This Week

Bottles We Love, Pours to Try, & Cheers to the People Behind Them

Wine’s meant to be shared—and this is where we share what’s been filling our glass lately. Each week, you’ll find a fresh pick: a bottle we’re loving, a wine bar we’re frequenting, or a pour that surprised us (in the best way). We’ll also raise a glass to someone local with our Cheers To spotlight—because the Triangle is full of people who are making the wine scene better, one pour at a time. Whether you’re hunting for your next favorite bottle or just want a trusted rec without the snobbery, you’re in the right place.

Whats I'm Drinking Featured Bottle

Nightshade Paso Robles Red Blend 2023

Denner

Tasting Notes:

Bold and juicy with layers of black cherry, blueberry, and ripe dark fruit, followed by hints of black pepper, cocoa, and savory spice. Velvety tannins and lively acidity keep all that richness balanced, leading to a long, smooth finish.

Why We Love It:

This is a big Paso red that doesn’t feel heavy or overdone. There’s plenty of lush fruit and depth, but the acidity and savory notes give it enough lift to keep you reaching for another sip. “Rich, juicy and just a little unexpected — exactly the kind of red blend that reminds me why I love Paso Robles.”
