Some say cheese and chocolate go best with wine. Well, when it comes toFergie’s new vintages for herFerguson Crestwine label, we think the best pairings are the pop star’s own songs (in addition to cheese and chocolate, of course).
So how do they taste? We let the singer’s lyrics — including ones from hernew single“L.A. Love (La La)” that dropped on Monday — do all the talking.
2012 FERGALICIOUS(red blend)Fergie helped to develop Fergalicious, the winery’s first red wine blend. The 2012 vintage is mostly Syrah with Merlot, Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. The blend is intense with a little spice to it, and would best be sipped while munching on dark chocolate or other decadent treats.
Tasting “Notes”:“I’m the F to the E, R, G, the I, the E, and can’t no other lady put it down like me.” — “Fergalicious” featuring will.i.am,The Dutchess(2006)
“Lay back, slow down. Better represent when we come to your town.”— “L.A. Love (La La)”
2013 VIOGNIERThis strong white is floral and deep, with a crisp, fruity finish. It would pair nicely with a salad or light veggie dinner. Also with a bubble bath.
“I already know what my addiction is, I be looking for labels, I aint looking for love.” — “Labels or Love,”The Dutchess(re-release in 2008)
2012 SYRAHFerguson Crest’s Syrah is the vineyard’s signature wine. It’s complex, hearty and rich — we want to drink this alongside a juicy, medium-rare steak.
Tasting “Notes”:“We flying first class, up in the sky. Pop the champagne, living the life in the fast lane. I won’t change. By the glamorous. Oh, the flossy, flossy.” — “Glamorous” featuring Ludacris,The Dutchess(2006)
