DOM PÉRIGNON x LADY GAGA: 2021 LIMITED EDITIONS
This is the story of two creators – Lady Gaga and Dom Pérignon, embodied by its Chef de Cave Vincent Chaperon.
Their inspired collaboration is sparked by a shared belief in absolute creative freedom. Lady Gaga, inspiring others to dream, to experiment, to express themselves. And Dom Pérignon, perpetually exploring the edge of creation with each vintage, revealing harmony from an ever-changing nature, climate, and the unique constraints that every year brings.
First revealed in April 2021, this collaboration has already taken the form of an artistic brand campaign and a limited-edition sculpture designed by Lady Gaga. Continuing their shared creative pursuit, Lady Gaga has signed a limited edition bottle of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2010 and Rosé Vintage 2006 in exclusive and creative cases. The swathe of iridescence reflects the flow and movement of a magnetic veil. Rippling and shifting, their design is a visual ode to creativity. A vital impulse.
Germain-Robin is excited to announce the release of Single Barrel Pinot Noir aged 19 years, the brand’s first new single barrel product since joining the E. & J. Gallo (Gallo) spirits family four years ago. This new expression will be available exclusively at California Brandy House in Napa, followed by a limited release to select markets.
The Pinot Noir Single Barrel is double distilled in Prulho Charentais pot stills in 2001 and aged for 19 years in heirloom Limousin oak barrels. Beautifully capturing the fruit character of the grape on both the nose and the palate, this expression sets a new standard of excellence in brandy. Aromas of stone fruit and barrel spice open up on the bold palate to signature notes of cherry, dried herbs and coffee, complemented by the brandy’s weight and depth. Earthy layers of oak and a touch of leather give way on the bright, lengthy finish to hints of apricot and Bing cherry.
Avaline, co-founded by Cameron Diaz (wellness author: The Body Book, The Longevity Book) and Katherine Power (Who What Wear, Versed Skincare, Merit), releases a limited edition Pinot Noir, their first wine produced in the brand’s birthplace of California. Now available exclusively via Avaline’s website, this varietal red wine joins Avaline’s Red Blend in the brand’s portfolio of six (and counting) clean, delicious wines. All Avaline wines are made with organic grapes, vegan-friendly, contain under 1g of sugar and are free of unwanted extras like colors and concentrates.
This small batch Pinot Noir (SRP $26), is a light-bodied wine offering notes of roasted strawberries and wild plum, inviting Avaline lovers to cozy up for fall foliage with a glass in hand. A versatile wine, Avaline Pinot Noir makes a particularly perfect pairing with fall’s fading sunlight, your favorite song and a big bowl of pesto pasta.
California pioneer Sonoma-Cutrer, located in the heart of the Russian River Valley, announces two new vintages of its award-winning wines - the 2019 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir and 2019 The Cutrer Chardonnay. As the winery celebrates its 40th Anniversary this year, these new vintages showcase the winery's mastery of both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir wines.
Sonoma-Cutrer’s female-led winery team includes Pinot Noir Winemaker Zidanelia Arcidiacono and Chardonnay Winemaker Cara Morrison. “We are honored to continue the winery’s 40-year legacy with the release of these two new vintages that speak to our approach implementing both Burgundian traditions and Californian innovation,” said Morrison.
“The 2019 vintages of The Cutrer and Russian River Valley exemplify our commitment to creating high quality wines across Chardonnay and Pinot Noir while upholding sustainability practices from vineyards to winery,” said Arcidiacono
The 2019 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir was aged in a mix of new, one-year and two-year old French oak barrels for 11 months before being blended and aged in the bottle for an additional six months. The wine has a deep ruby-purple hue and aromas of exotic spice, blackberry fruit, and sweet vanilla, resulting in an elegant flavor. With a balanced acidity, juicy core, and a long finish, the 2019 vintage is sure to be a favorite of pinot noir lovers.
La Crema 2019 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay ($23):
The winemaking team at La Crema has been perfecting Chardonnay for 40 years, and it shows. The 2019 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is flavorful, bright, and juicy, making it an ideal pairing for a wide variety of cheese-centric Sunday snacks - plus, it’s incredibly easy to find at your local grocery store while you’re out hunting for game day supplies. For a low-key pairing, kick back with a bowl of cheese-its or some warm, gooey queso with chips. If you’re looking to take things up a notch, try dungeness crab mac and cheese or honeycrisp apple pizza with balsamic onions.
