BUDDY/BUDDY "Puppy Love" is a delightful natural rosé wine crafted by Buddy Buddy Wine, a small-scale winery based in Berkeley, California, founded by Eric "Buddy" Cohen in 2019. This wine reflects the winery’s ethos of producing unfussy, expressive wines using organic fruit and minimal intervention techniques.
The winemaking process is straightforward yet intentional: hand-picked organic grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, finishing in the bottle to create its signature light fizz. It’s bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfites, aligning with Buddy Buddy’s commitment to purity and sustainability. The alcohol content usually sits around 11-12%, keeping it fresh and easy-drinking. The name "Puppy Love" suggests a playful, youthful vibe, mirrored in its bright, approachable character.
On the nose, "Puppy Love" bursts with aromas of ripe strawberries, watermelon, and a hint of citrus blossom, sometimes with a subtle yeasty note from its pet-nat style. The palate is lively and refreshing, offering juicy red fruit flavors—think cherry and raspberry—balanced by a crisp acidity and a gentle, frothy effervescence. It finishes dry with a touch of minerality, making it a versatile companion for casual sipping or pairing with light fare like salads, seafood, or soft cheeses.
This wine embodies Buddy Buddy’s mission to create "crushable" natural wines that prioritize fun and flavor over pretense. Serve it chilled (around 45-50°F) to enhance its vibrancy, and enjoy it soon after purchase to capture its youthful charm—though its bottle-conditioned nature means it may evolve subtly over a few months. "Puppy Love" is a perfect pour for those who crave a carefree, fruit-forward sparkler with a California twist.
