Just took delivery from my favorite coffee roaster, Gayla Moore in Ventura, California. I've been buying from her on and off for over 20 years. I am especially partial to Ethiopian beans but buy several others, like the Burundi Womens Collective and New Guinea Peaberry plus anything new she recommends. The freshness is fantastic: beans are roasted to order on Wednesday and shipped on Thursday. In addition to origin-specific beans she also has a small line of blends designed by local winemakers and this round I decided to give one by Randall Graham, named after his most famous bottling, a go.
Having my first cup of it right now: no idea what beans are in this, but it's more earthy than winey or fruity. Closer to Peruvian than Ethiopian, with dark chocolate and just a little blackberry. Very likeable, but won't replace any of my favorites.
