Part 4 of Jamie’s History of American Wine
(OR The United States vs James J. Rubin: A People’s History: Wine on the Vine: Go Big or Die Wine-ing)
How does this loud, expressive Finger Lakes wine pair with this expressionistic black-and-white art house horror film? Is the acidity of this dry Riesling as “screeching” as the mermaid’s distressing call? Are Jamie’s pairing words obtuse and annoying, or does Scott just like to complain? Will anyone ever solve the mystery of the farts in THE LIGHTHOUSE? We’d tell you if any of these questions were answered, but then you’d ask us “WHY’D YOU SPILL YOUR BEANS?” You need only press play.
- THE LIGHTHOUSE was directed by Robert Eggers, stars Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, and is available to stream on Prime Video and Kanopy.
- The 2019 Keuka Lake Vineyards Dry Riesling is available at Astor Wine and Spirits for $22 plus tax and shipping.
