SIPPING WITH THE STARS

THE WIZARD OF OZ + PAX SYRAH

6/1/2014

While Dorothy sought out the Emerald City, my sights were set on the Emerald Pool - a bottle of Syrah made by Pax from the Alder Springs Vineyards located somewhere over the rainbow in Mendocino County. A technicolor experience on my palate, this wine mirrored the vibrancy of color when Dorothy first arrived in Oz, greeted by brilliant hues and floral landscapes. It's true that 'there's no place like home'. It's also true that 'there's no wine like Pax'. Cheers to Pax, with its dark ruby flavors that sparkle and shine like Dorothy's slippers.

  Cheers,

HER + GHOST HILL CELLARS PINOT NOIR BLANC

Love & Pinot Noir. Reformatted and redefined, both the movie HER & the Ghost Hill Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc deconstruct and reconstruct everything we thought we understood about the words 'love' & 'Pinot Noir'. HER shows us that love can come in more than one form. The Ghost Hill Cellars Pinot Noir Blanc makes this same case, producing a Pinot Noir as a white wine (not a red) worthy of love and affection. Cheers to love and Pinot Noir that come in different forms.

  Cheers,

INDIANA JONES + DUNN HOWELL MOUNTAIN CABERNET

Perhaps the two best examples of a movie series and a wine (vintage after vintage) that embody 'rugged adventure' are  Indiana Jones & Dunn Vineyards. Worthy of their own theme song music? Absolutely! With each scene and every sip, a new thrill comes. Engulfed in history and mountainous terrain, at the end of the day both Indiana and Dunn are assured to get the girl.

  Cheers,

AUDREY HEPBURN + PINOT NOIR

Lovely. Like Pinot Noir, Audrey Hepburn could be nothing but precisely that. Delicate yet dynamic, Audrey Hepburn is the very definition of feminine. Pinot Noir, when done well and done right fits this same definition. Light-bodied elegance define both my favorite actress and my favorite wine. Behind Audrey's eyes and beyond that first sip of Pinot, intrigue resides and resonates. Cheers to you, Audrey Hepburn, in the form of Pinot Noir.

ANTHONY HOPKINS + FONTERUTOLI

A Chianti that goes well with fava beans, Fonterutoli, like Anthony Hopkins, has a long history of great productions - Silence of the Lambs, Meet Joe Black, Amistad, Nixon & about 122 more. With a dark flavor profile, both Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins and Castello di Fonterutoli have a lineage of larger than life performances.

JAMES BOND + BOLLINGER

Not only was this Champagne a favorite bottle of bubbles for James Bond, but it shared several characteristics with this world famous spy. Explosive with weaponry and wine, this pairing has a level of class and confidence that is unrivaled. Walk into a room and own it, this is the way of both Bond and Bollinger.

Cheers,

JULIA ROBERTS + CALERA VIOGNIER

Just like her smile lights up a room, the Calera lights up your palate. Julia Roberts radiates 'pretty', as Calera Viognier illuminates the same. The value of this Viognier is found in its vibrancy - the same trait sung in Julia's smile with its refreshing refrain. A Pretty Woman and a pretty wine.

Cheers,

What other wine could the glamorous Marilyn Monroe be paired with but Merlot?! Voluptuous and seductive, this buxom actress and busty wine have lured the hearts of the masses, leaving viewers starry eyes and palates pleased with satisfaction in shapely forms.

SEAN CONNERY + COS D'ESTOURNEL

Legendary in stature, both Sean Connery and Chateau Cos d'Estournel provide a stellar performance on screen and on the palate. Sophisticated and sexy, this actor from Scotland and this bottle from Bordeaux transcend their respective cultures and languages with singular style that is so damn good to watch and sip.

  Cheers,

CLINT EASTWOOD + CAYMUS SPECIAL SELECTION

6/1/2014

Comments

 
Picture

It's a wine that will 'make my day' and yours too (nearly guaranteed). Caymus Special Selection, like Clint Eastwood is exceedingly bad ass. A character and a Cabernet that are larger than life, both are equally masculine and magnificent. Iconic for having a solid backbone, they have a powerful presence with a reputation that precedes them.

  Cheers,
