Wonderwerk Big Juicy 2024 (1L) SF Chronicle - Past Pick “Okarakuchi”

“Okarakuchi”

friendly enough to drink without thinking but well made enough to take seriously

then lactic and buttery notes

typical of dried Vermouth

From the producer: True to the Haitian word ‘kleren’ for clear

Wonderwerk Big Juicy 2024 (1L) SF Chronicle - Past Pick “Okarakuchi”Wonderwerk is a California natural wine project (named after a South African cave) making the kind of bottles you reach for on a Tuesday and finish without thinking. Big Juicy lives up to its name a glou glou red built for thirst, served in a generous one liter format because half measures are no fun. There's nothing precious here: just easy, fruity, lightly chillable California red made for porch nights, pizza nights, and anything in between.
