Doohickey Red Blend 2020

It’s always a good idea to have a smooth, crowd-pleasing red on hand, and hugely popular Doohickey really fits the bill! This silky, oak-aged red is made from a secret blend of premium California grapes (the cheeky name encourages you and your guests to guess what they are). Don’t be distracted by the punctuation on the label—there’s no questioning Doohickey’s taste appeal.

This most recent release was crafted with grapes from prime appellations, including Lodi, “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). And since California had another great vintage in 2020, you’re in for serious quality with this new Doohickey. It was even awarded a bronze at the San Francisco International Wine Competition.

In the glass, look forward to mouthfuls of blackberry and black currant flavor, interwoven with just the right amount of vanilla and spice. Velvety and super food-friendly, Doohickey is the perfect red to open when you have friends coming for dinner. Have fun with food pairing, as your options are wide open with this one. Our favorite match: a juicy rack of BBQ ribs.

With hundreds of fans rushing for their share of the highly anticipated 2020, we strongly recommend getting your order in soon.
