Tasting Notes


OK, say that you’re invited to a dinner party and they’re serving roasted chicken, which, hot take, is the most boring dish to entertain with, despite how f*cking thrilled Jeffrey Garten gets when he receives some from Ina. And if you’ve been tasked with bringing the wine for said dinner party, this is where you have an opportunity to shake things up and prove your worth as a friend. Sure, personality is important, blah, blah, blah, but you can blow it really easily here, and this lemon and thyme-stuffed bird needs your help. That’s where a frosty bottle of Christina Orange comes in the clutch. Not only is it a great “starter orange” if you’ve never had an amber wine before, but it’s a scrumptious, minimally-funky tsunami of citrus peel with a few waves of pineapple, tangerine, blossoms, and mango that’ll straight-up transform really any chicken, from piccata to Nashville-style hot, from sad to rad. And we like rad.

Pair With:


We definitely covered this: chicken. But if you want to chew some plants instead, this would pair equally as well with herby olive oil-roasted vegetables.

Funk-o-Meter


This one finally gives us the answer to, “How funky is your chicken?” We’ve been dying to know for some time now.
