2010
Chardonnay
Santa Rita Hills
$50
GoGi (his nickname) is the passion project of actor Kurt Russell. He makes this fabulous wine in homage to his beautiful long time partner, Goldie Hawn. This wine, much like its muse, is naturally beautiful, sexy, and fun. The wine is created by the wonderful folks at Ampelos Cellars that I've featured in the past, and Kurt is their apprentice in wine making. He is very capable and knowledgable, and does the work for his wine all on his own.
He makes the wine in a style that he likes to drink: rich, luscious, buttery and smooth. It is a fantastic bigger style of Chardonnay wine. Even with all the creaminess, the wine is balanced, with a modest alcohol of 13.5%
Enjoy this wine as a cocktail before dinner.

Goat
California
$12
4oz
Very simple goats milk cheeses are some of the best in the world and this one is exceptional. Made by the folks at Cypress Grove Creamery (they're the folks who make Humboldt Fog), it is a fine cheese and perfect for that pre-dinner glass of GoGi you'll be having. The cheese is tangy and refreshing...try it on a baguette with your favorite condiment.
Rare Hawaiian Organic White Honey
8oz.
$25
This is the best honey I've tried in a long time. It's all about the texture and this one literally melts in your mouth.
