Amy's LA Wine Blog

I like to consider myself the Carrie Bradshaw of the wine world. Not because I am a particularly talented writer, but because I love LA as much as she loves NY AND my expenditures on wine equal hers on Manolo Blahniks. In the 2006 calendar year I spent $13,846.37 on wine. Retail. For some big collectors that’s nothing, I know. But for me, with my modest income, that’s more than I pay annually in rent. And that’s why I’m like Carrie Bradshaw, she couldn’t afford her apartment either.

Wine goes 90210.

Truly separated at birth, Sebastian from the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills is my long lost soul mate. He recommends this wonderful little 2005 Anjou from biodynamic producer Domaine Philippe Delesvaux. It's dark and juicy, filled with candied kirsch fruit and a solid backbone of tannin and acidity. The PERFECT cheese wine. This wine needs cheese like I need a pilates class to firm up these cheese loving thighs. Sebastian is a cheese genius (that's the official term) and he will guide you to the perfect cheese. A steal for $22.00.
