Writer’s block activity: making fun of Gary Vaynerchuck (like this guy needs any more attention)
Our deepest apologies go out to Carly Simon…
You walked into the wine store like you were walking onto a yacht
A glass of Sauv Blanc held in your left hand
the wine’s nose it was apricot
You had one eye on the camera as you watched yourself sniffy sniff
And all the grapes dreamed that they’d be your partner
They’d be your partner, and…You’re so Vayne, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so Vayne, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? don’t you?You had me several years ago when I was still wine-naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
just like Sauternes and blue cheese
But you spat out many things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were spit in your bucket
spit in your bucket, and…You’re so Vayne, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so Vayne, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? don’t you?Well I hear you went up to Los Angeles to be on a TV show
Then you flew Jet Blue up to San Francisco
To see the vines on Howell Mountain grow
Well you’re where you should be all the time
And when you’re not you sip Bordeaux
or the wine of a close friend, wine of a close friend, and…You’re so Vayne, you probably think this song is about you
You’re so Vayne, I’ll bet you think this song is about you
Don’t you? don’t you?

get your wine on
2008 “Bebame” Red, El Dorado County, California
Cabernet Franc (65%) and Gamay (35%) from - gasp - California! And only 13% ABV, pretty modest by California standards. If I tasted this blind I would probably have said it’s from the Loire Valley. It has pretty much nothing in common with the full bodied iterations of Cab Franc coming out of Napa. Juicy, light, delicious quaffing wine.$18 a bottle
2006 Telegramme Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge
Really balanced and smooth, this is a bargain of a Chateauneuf. Yeah, the 07s are lauded but what would I prefer to drink? This! It’s the second label of Vieux Telegraphe, from the same property but from younger vines. And it’s a deal at $33 a bottle.2006 or bust!

3/8/10: First domaineLA Wine Tasting at Susan Feniger’s Street: 5 Wines, $15:
Just a quick note to let you know that a week from today, on Monday, March 8th, 2010, I’ll be hosting the first domaineLA wine tasting event at Susan Feniger’s Street, with the Manincor winery of Italy. The importer and winemaker will both be present to chat about the five wines being poured (including an unusual and delicious dry moscato), and the wines will be paired with light bites.
The best news is that the event will cost just $15 a person…a bargain! Swing by between 6PM and 8PM — I hope to see lots of you there!

wine jargon
Frizzante
From Wikipedia: Frizzante is an Italian wine term term for semi-sparkling wine (as opposed to Spumante, which is generally used for fully sparkling wines). Frizzante wines generally owe their bubbles to a partial secondary fermentation in tank. You might notice a light fizz or tingly sensation on the tongue with a Frizzante wine, compared to the more carbonated sensation that more fully sparkling wines yield.
Scorekage
Okay, so we made up this word yesterday after a great restaurant experience. We brought a bottle of wine with us, expecting to pay a corkage fee. But the restaurant either forgot to charge us the $15, or decided to be nice to us. We scored! Hence, “scorekage” has entered our lexicon. This can also refer to BYO friendly restaurants that don’t charge for corkage under any circumstances.

[…] Writer’s block activity: making fun of Gary Vaynerchuck (like this guy needs any more attention) You know, Gary Vaynerchuk, Wine Library TV guy. Mr “Bringing the Thunder.” And Carly Simon of the much loved song “You’re so —- I bet you think this song is about you.” Can you guess what they did? You’ll have to go to their blog to read the whole thing. […]

Very clever

Oh. My. God. I’m so jealous I didn’t write this!

Freaking PRICELESS! Now I’ve got it stuck in my head, though.
“wine of a close friend, wine of a close friend…”

I’ve got “spat out many things you love, and one of them was me” in my mind on permanent loop now, but in a good way! This proves, incidentally, that you do NOT have writer’s block!

Love it! That was great. Unlike the original, it’s a little easier to figure out the subject of the song, lol..
