My very dear, very generous friend, Nicole, AKA Green Girl<\/a>, recently hooked me up with a very SPECIAL\u00a0gift. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Turns out her sister works with the great and immensely talented\u00a0Rolfe Kent<\/a>, who provided the score…one of my\u00a0<\/strong>all-time favorites, in fact…to Alexander Payne’s now legendary film, Sideways<\/a><\/em>. I’m telling you, not a trip to California Wine Country goes by when the wife and I don’t pop on the soundtrack to my most sincere of all soul movies. Oh, the accompaniment it provides during our drives from tasting room to tasting\u00a0room.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

So now look what’s come in the mail! A limited edition colored vinyl LP of the score, personally autographed by Mr. Kent himself. (And fun fact: Kent also composed the opening theme to Showtime’s Dexter<\/a><\/em>!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rolfe

“To Max, May you find Zen in the art of drinking. – Rolfe Kent”<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\"Rolfe<\/p>\n

THANK YOU, Nicole, Sterling, and Rolfe! I will absolutely treasure this Very Special Gift. And best of all, I have a\u00a0reliable turntable to spin it on…<\/strong><\/p>\n

WINE PAIRING: For shits and giggles, I dare you to indulge in the 2013 Estate Merlot from Gainey<\/a>. Sure, Miles may actually\u00a0leave<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0restaurant\u00a0if anyone orders Merlot…but I’m pretty confident this under $25 black cherry beaut will withstand his hilarious, bombastic protesting<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
