Sip & Stream: Educated Guess Cabernet Sauvignon x Tony Hale Comedies
Today is Tony Hale’s birthday and coincidentally enough he stars in two of my favorite comedies. I’m not prone to watch comedies, sitcoms with laugh tracks are not that funny to me, but I love comedies with a little grit. Arrested Development and Veep are two of my favorites. The humor pokes fun at the idiocy of their characters, showing people in higher power or higher class than you are barely capable of handling their lives. The two comedies share sort of the same formula where you have a cast of stereotyped characters acting like fools and one seemingly sane person trying to keep everything together.
Educated Guess is a Napa wine that has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. The wine is very fruit forward — juicy blackberries and cherries. The finish lingers a bit and you can taste the hints of cocoa, mint, and creamy vanilla. This wine is less tannic, but still bold on the palate. It’s a great wine to pair with a stinky cheese. Retail Price: $23
Happy Streaming! 🍷 📺
