Christopher: Anthony!
Anthony: Christopher! How are ya?
Christopher: I’m awesome, how are you today?
Anthony: Doing well, doing well and tasting the new 2017 Blaufrankisch
Christopher: Awesome, on this muggy, humid, just starting to rain sort of day.
Anthony: Indeed, delicious
Christopher: Awesome, what do we have there?
Anthony: Well, we have 80% Blaufrankisch, 20% Dornfelder
Christopher: Sylvanus Vineyard, so all Hamptons fruit, all state fruit here.
Anthony: All Hamptons fruit, all grown and raised on the Hamptons estate.
Christopher: Awesome! Hand-picked, lots of whole berries, few whole clusters, stomped on by foot, punched down by hand. Super minimal, wild yeast, ambient fermentation. And what do you think, how’s it smell?
Anthony: It smells awesome. Has a nice cherry, black cherry, kind of ripened cherry profile.
Christopher: It’s got great structure but it’s gonna age well, still youthful wine, little bit of bottle age on it, but still super youthful.
Christopher: Great with all sorts of things, right? What do you like to eat with it.
Anthony: I paired it last night with a rack of ribs.
Christopher: Oh, that’s awesome! That is awesome! Yeah, we love it with ribs, pork, pork belly. I like it with fish - fatty fish, blue fish, smoked blue fish.
Anthony: Sure, sure
Christopher: Like aged cheeses, I think are awesome with it. Just a super versatile wine all around.
Anthony: And one of my favorites.
Christopher: Awesome! Awesome Anth, thanks so much.
Anthony: My pleasure
Christopher: Hang in there, man
Anthony: You too!
