Schist Just Got SeriousA Fistful of Schist Chenin Blanc 2025 12.5%
A Fistful of Schist. Go on, say it out loud. Schist is a metamorphic rock, not a euphemism, though the name certainly has a sense of humour. Chenin Blanc is known for orchard fruit, citrus and lively acidity, although these are grape-style characteristics rather than verified tasting notes for this bottle. At dinner parties, mention metamorphic terroir, nod thoughtfully, then change the subject to the weather. Because life's too short for boring wine names.

If This Drink Were Famous…
Billy Connolly
Outrageously funny, gloriously unpredictable, and full of character beneath the mischief. A playful comparison, not an endorsement.
