Playlist’s Song Pairing:
Chicago native Chance the Rapper took a unique approach with 'Surf,' his collaborative album with Nico Segal aka Donnie Trumpet. Rather than taking the lead, he assumed the role of a self-effacing member of the group, sharing the limelight with the other musicians.
However, on the album's opening track 'Miracle,' Chance steps to the forefront and delivers a powerful message of thanks for life and its blessings. The smooth instrumental is the perfect accomponyment to his effortless and mesmerizing flow that conveys the message that it is a miracle to simply be alive. And we can’t help but feel the same when enjoying a bottle of this Cab Franc!

Domaine Olga Raffault, located in the charming region of Chinon in the Loire Valley, is a family-owned winery that has been producing world-class wines for over 70 years. Olga took over the estate after her husband passed away in 1947, and with the help of Ernesto Zeinninger, once a German war prisoner, was able to pursue her wine dream and establish a legacy that is now operated by her children and grandchildren.
With over 50 acres of vineyards in some of the best terroirs in the region, Domaine Olga Raffault is renowned for its organic and sustainable practices in winemaking. The estate achieved organic certification in 2015 and has since become a leader in sustainable viticulture.
The domaine is world-renowned for its mastery of Cabernet Franc and for producing classic Chinon wine. One of the more notable wines is their Les Barnabés Cabernet Franc, a wine that is lighter in style and meant to be enjoyed while young. The wine comes from a sandy and gravelly site and is characterized by its fresh and fruity notes of red berries and violets. With its smooth tannins and elegant finish, Les Barnabés is a bottle that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.
