Christopher: Alright cool, Anth, what do we got there?
Anthony: This is the new 2017 Mudd
Christopher: What! We haven’t made that since 2008!
Anthony: Indeed we have not, and it’s back and better than ever.
Christopher: Awesome! Tell us about it
Anthony: Completely refined, drinking beautifully right now. It’s a nice blend of Cab Sauv, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Teroldego and that 1% of Blaufranksich.
Christopher: Yeah, it’s youthful wine, right? It’s gonna age beautifully - 5-10 years.
Anthony: Indeed it will, indeed it will.
I paired it recently with a nice bleu cheese, some fig spread and Orwasher's Bread.
Christopher: Awesome!
Anthony: …
Christopher: Awesome, shout out to Keith!
Anthony: Shout out to Keith!
Christopher: And that would be great with a leg of lamb, huh? Ribeye steak.
Anthony: Ribeye steak.
Christopher: Some mushrooms
Anthony: A carnivor’s dream!
Christopher: That’d be awesome. Maybe just a hunk of gouda!
Anthony: Maybe a hunk of gouda or a little mushroom risotto would work well as well.
Christopher: That’s awesome. And what’s on the label of that wine? Why do we call it Mudd?
Anthony: Well that is the soil break down
Christopher: That’s like the dirt that we grow it in, right?
Anthony: Indeed it is
Christopher: And we have the break down there right on the label so people can check it out and see what our soil’s made out of, the soil schematic there. And it’s also a celebration with our growing partners, right?
Anthony: Indeed it is
Christopher: Yes, so that Dave and Steve Mudd started Mudd vineyards, are super important to us and we like to celebrate our partnership with that wine, huh
Anthony: Indeed we do
Christopher: And what else do you find in that wine? Lots of nice blue, what kind of fruit?
Anthony: Notes of dark fruit - blackberry, blueberry, black cherry.
Christopher: Awesome.
Anthony: And an earthy profile. It’s delicious.
Christopher: That’s awesome, Anth. I know that people are missing coming in here and tasting with you and Laura and Kat and our whole crew and so it’s nice to see you here in the tasting room. I know you guys are working hard packing up boxes. We’re keeping distant, I’m outside! Yeah, we’re keeping far, oh you can’t see him I didn’t turn it around, oh well that’s cool. There’s Marilyn, guys, just in case you need Marilyn over the grate, woo! Alright, and there’s Anth, we love you Anthony! You’re the best!
Anthony: Miss you all!
Christopher: Cheers!
