I’m not a sommelier, I’m the lady on the Q60 trying to remember whether you liked the Rioja or the Riesling last time. These are the bottles I actually buy again, not the aspirational ones I admire in shop windows. They’re the wines I grab after a long day of college-essay drafts, Mets heartbreaks, and museum lines—reliable, a little thoughtful, never too precious. If you’re looking for a starting lineup for a small apartment wine shelf, this is mine (subject to change whenever I discover something weird and wonderful, obviously).

Garrafas que continuo comprando — 4 items
Name	Grape / Region	Occasion	My take
1La Vieille Ferme Rouge	Southern Rhône blend, France	Weeknight pasta, takeout pizza, grading marathons	Tastes like you spent more than you did—soft red fruit, a little spice, zero drama. My default “I can’t think about this” red.
2Dr. Loosen Dr. L Riesling	Riesling, Mosel Germany	Spicy noodles, awkward family dinners, Sunday afternoons	Zippy and just off-dry enough that even my “I don’t like sweet” friends drain the bottle. Great gateway wine for Riesling skeptics.
3Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc	Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough New Zealand	First warm day of spring, gossip with old friends	Lime, gooseberry, and “should we sit outside?” energy. Smells like someone opened all the windows in your brain.
4Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages	Gamay, Beaujolais France	Casual potlucks, charcuterie, Mets day game (hopeful version)	Light, bright, and chillable. When I don’t know what someone drinks, I bring this and call it my diplomatic wine.
