This week we sipped away with the husband and wife dynamic duo, Oz and Shanae of Heir Scentz and tasted some of the most amazing rosé from Vice Wines with their owner, Malek Armani!
ABOUT HEIR SCENTZ
One day we were thinking, who makes Car Air Fresheners? And, aside from the lil treez, no one came to mind.
That's when we thought, why not us? We then did some research & found
a gig at a local print shop. With the help of some Eco-friendly Ink & recycled fabric paper, did some test prints and the results ended up being exactly what we were looking for, which is the product you see pictured today. As for the incense sticks, we have always been into making our own. So adding this as another product only seemed right. So we have always been into making our own incense sticks, so we already had a nice selection of oils & we get them from a variety of vendors.
We try to get fun scentz that everyone can enjoy. When it came to a shape, we needed it to standout. We thought, what would make OUR car air fresheners ... SPECIALTY?? Also at this particular time, we were wearing matching "THE DEENZ LIST" T-Shirts we had printed ... & like winning the lottery, that's when it hit us ..a T-Shirt shaped freshener that we could call our Special-Tee Car Air freshner.
ABOUT VICE WINES
The Vice Wine is a Napa Valley luxury wine brand made in small batches. Each batch is crafted from single grape varietals sourced from hand selected vineyards that best express the grape varietal and the region that it comes from. The Vice Wine is a result of passionate labor, sustainable farming, a long expertise of the wine industry and a current understanding of the consumer’s wine trend. The Vice Wine is about as personal of a brand as it gets. Everything is done by the founders. We drive the truck to get our fruit, we crush, bottle, label; we do everything by hand when possible. We design the labels, work the market, and sell the wine.
We believe that the best wines in the world aren’t the most expensive ones. We thrive at providing the best quality wine at the best value.
6th Rosé release and first pink Sauvignon Blanc
Our cellar master may have taken it a bit too far the night of November 22nd, 2019. He accidentally racked a barrel of Diamond Mountain Cabernet into one of our Rutherford Sauvignon blanc stainless steel tanks. Expect the nose to be tropical with notes of passionfruit, gooseberry and pomelo. Give it another swirl, undertones of white peach, bubble gum and a hint of mint may lure you to take the long-awaited sip. On the palate, the entrance is lively, crisp and bright. Flavors matching the nose start to settle in reminding you that you are sipping a Sauvignon Blanc, but the finish is marked with red berries and a kiss of strawberry confirming that you are indeed enjoying a rosé.
The Vice’s exploratory, yet refined range comes from co-founder Malek Amrani’s own rich background. A Moroccan-born world traveler, Team USA athlete and Level 3 Sommelier with an exceptional palette, Malek eventually settled in New York where for the last decade, he planted himself as the top sales professional for Moet Hennessy & Diageo.
Malek and his wife Torie Greenberg have since worked tirelessly to build The Vice Wine as the brand of choice for wine diehards and first-timers alike, balancing the classic quality of California vineyards with a current understanding of the consumer’s wine trend.
