The Marigny 'Drink This Wine' An Everyday Anyway Cuvee, Oregon

Some wines are meant for cellars, but this one is made for living.

With its kaleidoscopic blend of red, rosé, white, and skin-contact grapes, it’s not simply a red, it’s a technicolor mashup built for spontaneity.

Sensory Description:

Bright and translucent ruby in the glass, this cuvée bursts with aromas of red licorice, wild strawberry, rosewater, and fresh thyme. On the palate, juicy flavors of raspberry, cherry candy, and watermelon juice are lifted by cranberry tang and grapefruit zest, all riding on lively acidity. Lilac florals and herbal notes add layers, while feather-soft tannins and a crisp mineral finish make each sip electric yet airy. It’s a wine that glides between categories, as refreshing as it is playful.

Winemaker's Background:

The Marigny is the creation of winemaker Andy Young, who brings an experimental yet intentional approach to Oregon wine. Based in the Willamette Valley, Young produces natural wines that lean into freshness, energy, and drinkability without sacrificing craft. With chef Molly Baz joining for this cuvée, The Marigny highlights how wine can be both serious in its execution and utterly fun in its experience. Together, they’ve created a bottle that blurs the lines between red, rosé, and skin-contact wine, an everyday, anyway kind of drink.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled, around 50–55 °F, in a stemless glass or tumbler to keep the mood unfussy. This cuvée loves casual pairings: picnic spreads, spicy takeout, grilled sausages, or a plate of crispy fried chicken. Charcuterie with tangy pickles and salty snacks also makes it shine. Best enjoyed outdoors with friends, where its gluggable energy feels right at home.

The 2022 The Marigny ‘Drink This Wine’ An Everyday Anyway Cuvée is a rule-bending, joy-fueled blend that embodies everything natural wine should be: bright, fresh, playful, and alive. It’s not just a wine to drink; it’s a wine to celebrate with, a companion for moments that don’t need perfection to be perfect.
