We're closing out August with our final Pet-nat recommendation. This bottle is a tried and true favorite of ours, the 2020 Rosé Pet-nat from Field Recordings. By tried and true, we mean a wine we've had many, many time together. It's honestly a staple of our friendship. We also love Field Recordings and highly recommend any of their wines. We also discuss brix and alcohol content in wines, and celebrate the beginning of harvest for all of the wine makers out there. 

Brix (°Bx) is a way winemakers measure the potential alcohol content of a wine before it’s made by determining the sugar level in grapes. Each gram of sugar that’s fermented will turn into about a 1/2 gram of alcohol. Brix levels are measured in vineyards right before the harvest to determine whether the grapes are ready. Winemakers use a device called a refractometer where they can crush single grapes from different sections of their vineyard to determine if the grapes are ripe.
