Hey there. Sorry it's been so long since we posted. Busy, busy, busy! Let's jump right back in.(no pun intended) I was listening to "Hot for Teacher" on the radio the other day and was reminded about how awesome 1984 by Van Halen is. Pure party vibes are the order of the day. Even when they get a little synth twattie (yeah i'm looking at you "I'll Wait") this album still rocks. By the time you get to "House of Pain" you are completely spent from air drumming, air guitaring, and doing those fucked up karate kicks like David Lee Roth. (Sadly there is no reason to play the "air bass" on this album, because the bass playing could have been done by a 3 year old, sorry Michael)Try listening to this album and not smiling and banging your head. Go ahead, I'll wait. See, I told you, it is impossible!
Anyway, as I'm listening to the album, only one wine could stand up to this behemoth and that is the Rosenblum Zinfandel Paso Robles Appelation Series. From the berry and chocolate fragrance on the nose to that first pepper sensation on the pallate you get that same exhiliration that you felt hearing "Hot for Teacher" for the first time. What a rush! The gentle spice and cherry that follow set you up for the oak that lingers on the finish, creating the perfect yin to "panama"'s yang. I'm getting flushed just thinking of them together. Runnin a little bit hot tonight, yes, you definitely are. Thank you David and co. and thank you Rosenblum. You two are a match made in heaven. Oh yeah.....Striped spandex=hot.
PS, sorry about another Rosenblum wine review, but damned if they don't make fantastic wine!!!!
Chris
