I came across this bottle in Total Wine and fell in love with the label… I’ve also had other wines from this producer that are solid. Domaine Bousquet is a family owned wine producer in Mendoza, Argentina and they are known for their sustainable practices that produce high quality, organic and vegan wines. Today’s wine is from one of the many lines Domaine Bousquet has and it is called “Cameleon”.

 

To them, “Cameleon” represents the embodiment of fine adaptation to the environment. This label symbolizes the story of the Bousquet Family, “a fourth generation that left their native France after a long worldwide search for an idyllic wine growing region”.  Their story is truly magnetic because they went in search of finding what they wanted and adapted to their new environment ultimately creating an iconic and successful winery in Argentina.

 

In this episode, we get into the family background while opening up a wine label dedicated to their story and touch on how they are one of the leading sustainable producers in Argentina. 

I get into what adaptability looks like for me in my life and the special conversation I had with a friend in regards to the idea of being graceful and efficient in our turnaround time when things get thrown at us from left field… aka when life happens.

 

Tune in now to see if this $15 organic cabernet is worth the try and be open to being a “cameleon” with me.
