Rhathymia; “carefree behavior; lightheartedness.”  Sometimes, life is hard.  What works for me at those times is to keep perspective and not take life too seriously.  Most situations are fixable, the others help us learn and grow.  This too shall pass.  While you are waiting for things to pass or working on the fix, have a great glass of white wine, take some time to enjoy it, and lift your spirits.

RHATHYMIA is 100% Roussanne sourced from the Sugarloaf Vineyard within Washington’s Rattlesnake Hills AVA.  It was fermented and aged in stainless steel, providing a clean varietal nature.

Classical pairings with Roussanne include buttery meats like lobster, crab, foie gras, and pate.  Other ideas include grilled fish and polenta, Coquilles St. Jacques, and potato leek soup.  Just the other night, I had the 2021 RHATHYMIA with fresh crab and melted butter and thought “you know self, this is really good.  2021 RHATHYMIA + Butter = Mmmmmm.”
