Playlist’s Song Pairing:
Caribou, aka Dan Snaith, takes us on a journey home with his track "Back Home". Using a loop he stumbled upon, he crafted a song that echoes with an uncanny familiarity. It's a tune that seems to resonate with many, striking chords with those who have experienced life-altering changes and the inevitable journey of finding one's way back.
A sip of the Crunchy Roastie is like biting into a fresh strawberry pastry, the tang and sweetness dancing on your tongue. The flavors of pomegranate and white pepper add to the allure, creating an edge that's as alluring as it is unexpected. As you indulge, let the familiar beats of "Back Home" wash over you. Together, they serve as a testament to the beauty of change and the comfort of the familiar. The experience? It's like coming back home.

Stolpman Vineyards, founded over two decades ago by Tom Stolpman, is a gem tucked away in California's Central Coast. With a unique limestone outcropping and a clear view to the Pacific Ocean's breezes, this land cradles Syrah and Roussanne grapes like no other, their commitment to conscious farming and minimal manipulation shining through each bottle.
Their Crunchy Roastie Rainbow is a daring dance of 95% Syrah and 5% Viognier, picked early for a vivacious acidity, and fermented in a carbonic style that leaves the wine feather-light and chill-able. Lavender on the nose, red and purple berry on the palate, it's approachable, inviting, and as smooth as silk. But there's more to this wine than just its flavor profile. Released during Pride Month with a vivid rainbow label, it stands as a tribute to inclusivity and a testament to Stolpman Vineyards' commitment to the local community, as each bottle sold aids the Santa Ynez Valley Pride Foundation.
