HEY, WE’RE DIANA AND FRANK!
We’re two nerds from the Midwest who somehow found our way into the wine industry. Over time, we began to realize that something was seriously wrong.
Wine was super interesting, but most people talking about it were boring and, shall we say, a bit snobby about it all?
And that just ain’t us….
So, we created Responsible Hedonist to make some tasty wine, answer your wine questions (yes even that one), and have some fun along the way.
how it’s going
2022 Rush the Stage Red received 91 Points from MW Cameron Douglas
“Aromas and flavours of strawberry compote and fresh raspberries, there’s a layer of white spice and a stony crumbled stones mineral layer. Tannins add a youthful tautness, are plentiful and contrast the core flavours seamlessly. Acidity offers a refreshing quality and carries the core fruits throughout the palate perfectly. Youthful, fresh, fruity and well made with a medium finish and length. Best drinking from 2023 through 2027+.“

Responsible Hedonist 2022 Rush the Stage Red Syrah featured in Cuisine Noir’s 2023/2024 Issue, which you can get digitally or in print!
Out of New Zealand comes this light-bodied syrah that is vegan-friendly with notes of red plum, wild strawberry and a hint of spice. The silky smooth palate makes it easy to enjoy with a great steak, tacos and even pasta.
