Jeff Gordon on wine...(you'll LOVE this)

WINE TALK

I won’t comment at all, just let his words do the talkin’

Excerpted from Bon Appetit, April 2009

BA: How did you first become interested in wine?

JG: When I went to London in 1995, I had just won the Winston Cup championship and I wanted to celebrate, so I found the best restaurant and ordered the most expensive wine, Montrachet. You know it’s a good bottle of white when they decant it, and it did not disappoint. I realized I like that type of rich, really buttery and oaky wine. So I started finding California wines, like Kistler and Far Niente, that reminded me of that.

Doesn’t he have his own wines from Napa?

Has anyone here tried them?

I’ve never had one…the only time I’ve even seen them is at Buffalo Wine Company in Napa.

if they did not not decant the bottle right in front of him i’d bet $20 he was served a really good CA Chard with some age on it and the staff enjoyed La Montrachet in the back.

I’ve met Jeff a few times when I worked at Comcast on some NASCAR sponsorships, the last dinner we had with him in Miami he passed on the red wine I ordered( 94 Insignia and 97 Montelena) for some white…they didn’t decant the Cakebread either [rofl.gif]

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that they are going to be really rich, buttery, and oaky
