S1 Ep.6 College Dropout by Kanye West
Manage episode 337396176 series 3380962
Show Notes
Wow! College Dropout, is it a contender for the greatest hip-hop album of all time? Or is it a flawed, overlong, hypocritical, misogynistic, and egotistical pile of $#*! Or perhaps, it’s all these things and more. Chris, David and Christian certainly do not see eye to eye on this one but we do manage to drink some wonderful wines whilst listening to it.
To match College Dropout, Chris brings two vintages of PepperJack Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the Barossa Valley, South Australia.
2019 – ($21). Violet in colour. Aromas of ripe berry fruits, black currants and plums with mint and varietal leafy notes. The palate is flavoursome, with dark fruits and hints of oak. However, its youth doesn’t help as it is still astringent in the mouth.
2013 – ($29) Age has worked its wonders. This wine is deep plum in colour. The smell of dark berry fruits has ripened, and the palate is plush with dark fruit and savouriness. The tannins have softened, making this generous, rich, and smooth.
Christian decides on a $15 bottle of Kung Fu Girl Reisling from Charles Smith Wines, in Columbia Valley Washington State USA. A deliciously approachable, off-dry white wine with flavours of peach, apricot, and honey. https://www.charlessmithwines.com/
