THE WINE LIST LIGHTLY NARRATED BY JOSH MAZANOWSKI CHAMPAGNE THE HOUSES DELAMOTTE, BRUT NV 133 ARMAND DE BRIGNAC, ACE OF SPADES NV 580 LOUIS ROEDERER, CRISTAL, 2009 540 I’LL KEEP IT SHORT… LOUIS ROEDERER DISSES JAY Z, YUP… SAYS THEY DON’T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH RAP CULTURE! THE STONES ON THESE GUYS, RIGHT? JAY Z SAYS TO HELL WITH CRISTAL, DENOUNCING IT IN HIS MUSIC. THEN GOES AND BUYS A MAJORITY STAKE IN ARMAND DE BRIGNAC OR AS WE SAY “ACE OF SPADES”.

WHAT CROP THE VINES GIVE IS SMALL, YET YIELDS CONCENTRATED JUICE. I BELIEVE MOST OF THIS PARCEL HAS BEEN PULLED OUT AND REPLANTED WITH PINOT NOIR MAKING THIS THE LAST OF ITS KIND.

TRY TO FIND THIS IN THE SECONDARY MARKET! BESIDES BEING AMAZINGLY HARD TO GET YOUR HANDS ON, THIS IS AN “OUTSIDE OF THE BOX” WINE. IT SPENT FOUR YEARS IN BARREL! ONLY IN RIOJA… I MEAN ONLY AT R. LOPEZ DE HEREDIA. AT THIS TIME THERE ARE A COUPLE OF BOTTLES REMAINING.

THIS IS A PINOT NOIR I WOULD SUGGEST DECANTING FOR 1/2 HOUR TO ALLOW IT TO WAKE UP A BIT. THE RESULT IS GOLD - THE SMELL THAT MAKES PINOT NOIR THE FAIREST OFF THEM ALL.

LIQUID FARM, SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, 2017 94 JUST ABOVE LA-LA LAND THERE IS A PLACE THAT MAKES AMAZING, SEDUCTIVE PINOT NOIR. SOME WINES ARE JUST SEXY! I SUGGEST MARVIN GAYE’S “LETS GET IT ON” AT SOME POINT DURING THIS BOTTLE. TALLEY, ARROYO GRANDE VALLEY, 2014 375ML 51 CABERNET SAUVIGNON & BLENDS - ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!

THE WORD “DEDICATION” COMES TO MIND. SHE HAS SPECIALIZED IN ONE GRAPE FOR MOST OF HER CAREER. NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN SAY THAT. THE WINES ARE BLALANCED AND ARE LAYERED WITH NUANCES OF DARKFRUITS AND SPICE. THE WINE TASTE LIKE THE WAY GOOD WRITING MAKES YOU SMARTER. ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!

HE IS ALSO A MASTER OF WINE! OH YEAH, AND HE ALSO HAS A VERY PAPA SMURF-LIKE BEARD. ONE BTL LEFT. SYRAH SYRAH IS THE UNSUNG HERO OF THE WINE WORLD.
