Super Bowl Wine Pairings

Getting ready to view the L.A. Rams play against the New England Patriots. I am pairing my 2016 Symphony with the Rams and pairing my 2015 Petite Sirah with the Patriots… CHEERS!!!

Why not Kalin Cellars,made in Goff’s home town of Novato? For Tom Brady’s team, why not Clos de la Tech…made in the hills above San Mateo where Tom grew up…Rhys might be a stretch but the winery used to be in San Carlos just down the road from Serra High School, Tom’s alma mater.

If you went by wine made in Los Angeles there s San Antonio Winery…For the Patriots…beer??

This one would suit the Pats nicely…

Fully integrated 2013 Ceritas PMR, lobster risotto and accompanying fruit tray with local goat triple cream.

Virtually guaranteed to be better than the game.

I’d take that over the game regardless of who was playing.

I’m going with a nice 2000 Bordeaux for the Rams, old world and balanced. Got a Ch. Gloria that might fit the bill, or a Cos.

Then, for the Pats, a nice bottle of WD-40 Specialist Industrial-Strength Cleaner & Degreaser. Because Brady is a Tool.

That sounds fair.

Drinking 06 Comtes

Im not doing wine but I am doing Highball made with Toki (japanese whiskey).

Nobody is drinking Screaming Eagle or Jonata?? Stan Kroenke would appreciate the touch.

One could match the Screaming Eagle with Kraft Singles and then both owners would be happy.

I’m pairing Pinot with a 3-0 game in the age of the offense. A ‘16 BKB Makena and a ‘16 Alesia Anderson Valley.

2014 Rivers-Marie Panek… like Goff under pressure

You choked on it?

Serra gets Marin Catholic this time.

Lol, that happened when I tried the Cooper & Thief Bourbon barrel “wine.” Awful.

The RM was good, but no amount of air was going to make up for the years it needs.

And a CSM QB winning MVP, You’re talking to a Serra grad here Class of ‘79

I sipped a 1992 Dunn Napa and didn’t watch the game. Sadly the restaurant I ended up going to had it on every TV in the room so I had no choice but to watch the last 5 minutes. Seems like I missed the interesting parts of the game.

The wine is lovely, great nose of dark cherry, cassis, a little menthol. Palate is soft and silky but still has a bit of tannin and lots of soft red fruit. Incredible long finish. Tart in a good way.

I went to Serra for my freshman year only, 1965-1966, and they were the league doormats in football. Bellarmine ( I think Dan Pastorini was their QB) came to Serra for our homecoming - final score Bells 66, Pads 0. But Jesse Freitas was in my same freshman class and Lynn Swann enrolled the following year. And the Pads started to roll.

Cool, then some kid named Barry was a Freshman in my senior year. He did OK too.

06 Prüm Graacher-Himmelreich auslese. Shocker…still primary, but delicious.
