Wine and...Music: DEDICATED by Carly Rae Jepsen (2019) with Anas Abdulhak - Part 2

In Part 2 we pick up with special guest, poet and comics writer Anas Abdulhak and talk Tracks 4-15 + the wine pairings!

Anas has written Elutheromania, Objects in the Mirror, and Etheres. We actually featured ETHERES elsewhere on our Substack! a video + a written Q&A with Anas, go search that out. Anas is currently hard at work on the unSEEN/unHEARD Anthology, a comic anthology with stories from new voices from the disability and neurodivergent communities. We mention in the podcast that *maybe* submissions might still be open when these episodes drop, but alas, they did close on June 30th. But that means the work is now underway!

THE WINES (and/or Not-Wines)
ANAS' WINE
Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay Rose, Marsannay-la-Côte, France
A rose of Pinot Noir, 50% macerated for 3-4 days, 50% of the juice was pressed off immediately. Grown on clay-limestone soils in Marsannay-la-Côte.

DALLAS' WINE
2021 Château Sainte-Marie Les Hauts de Sainte-Marie Blanc, Bordeaux, France
The Les Hauts de Sainte-Marie blanc is a blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon and 10% Muscadelle. Beautiful aromas of white flowers and wonderful ripe citrus fruits: pink grapefruit, orange, and pomelo. It has a vibrant freshness on the attack that mellows to white peach, apricot and lemon citrus balanced by superb minerality.

DAVE'S WINE
2020 Zulal Voskehat, Vyots Dzor, Armenia
The Queen of Armenian wines! The name “Voskehat” translates to "golden berry". Notes of honeysuckle, sunflower, lemon zest on the nose. Yellow apple, a hint of pineapple, lemon, and chamomile on the palate. It tastes like the kind of drink you’d have if you were feeling bad, and wanted to feel better. A powerful up-front flavor, but a short, phantom aftertaste to match the album’s ethereal disco quality.
