Cuvée

Cuvée (French pronunciation: ​[kyve]) is a French wine term derived from cuve, meaning vat or tank. The term cuvée is used with several different meanings, more or less based on the concept of a tank of wine put to some purpose:

  • On wine labels to denote wine of a specific blend or batch. Since the usage of the term cuvée for this purpose is unregulated, and most wines will have been stored in a vat or tank at some stage of their production, the presence of the word cuvée on a label of an arbitrary producer is no guarantee of its (superior) quality. However, in the range of discerning producers who market both regular blends and blends called "cuvée...", the cuvée-labeled wines will usually be special blends or selected vats of higher quality, at least in comparison to that producer's regular wine(s). Particularly terms like "cuvée speciale", or "tête de cuvée" (the latter especially in Sauternes AOC) should indicate higher quality.
    • In this context, higher-quality than ordinary cuvées are often referred to as "reserve wines", while a cuvée lower in quality than the main one is referred to as a "second wine".

    California

    by: Cavo

    Sitting in a dark room
    Falling to pieces
    Try to find the right words
    So you can sing along
    Wear it like a tight noose
    I don't wanna feel this
    Might of made a wrong move
    Now I'm all alone
    I never know which way to go
    A million thoughts I can't control
    The city sleeps, but I can't close my eyes
    California
    California
    Drowning in a bright room
    Faking the feelings
    Wonder if the right words
    Are even here at all
    I'm living through the hardest part
    In a city full of fallen stars
    A million dreams I can't close my eyes
    California
    California
