Rappers have mentioned Cristal, Courvoisier and Moscato in their songs but never has there been a whole song dedicated to the fermented grape beverage that is wine. Until now…
The Russian Hill Project, representing the fine wines of northern California with a gangsta edge, cheered up an otherwise dull day with their rendition of “Wine Country”.
Billed as a “jam” for “connoisseurs of fine wine with a gangsta sensibility,” the French Laundry’s Thomas Keller gets a big up, there are shout outs for Sideways star Paul Giamatti and Ernest & Julio Gallo, along with a St Helena Holler.
The song suggests drinking Riesling for bee stings; Cabernet Sauvignon is best if your grandma breaks your bong, which can be a real hazard. And if you have a small wiener, drink Gruner Veltliner, they suggest. However, realising there’s only so much wine can do, there’s no wine remedy for voting Republican.
