I had to put at least one Cataluñan wine on that list. I could have chosen many but lastly I really do have a crush on Joan Rubio. From Penedes, he mostly works Xarel-lo and Macabeu, but he does have two red cuvée as well.

His take on the white wine is undoubtedly one of my favorites. I chose “Essencial” which is his entry level white because it’s simply amazing when you think about it. Bergamote, citric notes and a tiny rustic flavor on the nose. Green apple, lemon zest, and nice savoriness on the month. It is surprisingly light for the amount of things it made me feel. You can either have a glass by yourself or with some friends while having dinner.

And I’ll be honest, I once forgot an opened bottle in my fridge for maybe 7 days, and it was still crazy good after all that time!

It's all about the vibe...

Lucas Bozzoli pairs this Essencial with the song The Magnificent Seven by The Clash

"Magnificient Seven is my introduction to music and a “madeleine de Proust'' to me. I discovered it in an advertisement on TV around 11 years old and asked my dad right after who the artist was. After giving me the reference, he then shared his vinyl collection with me.

I had to list it. To me, a perfect blend of punk rock, funk, and hip-hop music. Timeless classic.

Everything’s started from here."
