50 Things We Want: Wine, Whiskey, Vintage Threads, And More
Résonance Vineyard Pinot Noir
I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll repeat it again, while I primarily write and review whiskeys when it comes to spirits I predominatly drink wine at home. For the same reasons the scientific side of my brain is drawn to whiskey, I’m drawn to wine. The process from start to finish is utterly fascinating and the absolutely complete devotion it takes winemakers to craft fine wines is something I never want to take for granted.
I recently sat down for a tasting of Résonance Vineyard’s Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs with their winemaker Guillaume Large. Guillaume graduated from the University Bourgogne and immediately dove headfirst into the wine industry, working in Burgundy, France for the infamous french winehouse Jadot.
Maison Louis Jadot was founded in 1859 and it wasn’t until July 2013 that they began their first project outside of France when they purchased Résonance and put a French touch on Willamette Valley, Oregon Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. We sipped through these four wines:
As far as tastings go, this one was different than any other I’d experienced. And that’s because it was actually equal parts wine tasting and French language lesson. We learned about the French terms that are vital to the winemaking process that native English speakers like myself might otherwise never hear about. Provinage, Biologique, Biologique, Eraflage, Pigeage, Eleve en futs de chene, and Chaine d’embouteillage.
I wish you guys could’ve seen me trying to pronounce these words at a level where nobody could hear me. I sounded like a complete fool. But the wines, they are impeccable. The 2019 RÉSONANCE VINEYARD PINOT NOIR was awarded 96 points by Wine Spectator and they have a host of other wines with ratings through the roof. You can hit that ‘shop’ button below to search for them on Drizly to see if they deliver to your area, or you can visit the Résonance website and order direct or to learn more about those wines.

Frey Ranch Limited-Edition Single Barrel Rye
Nevada’s Frey Ranch Distillery just announced the release of limited-edition Single Barrel Rye that’s bottled at barrel strength and features a spicy 100% rye mashbill. Interest in Rye Whiskey has sky rocketed in recent years (up 1275% in a decade) and this might be one of the best releases yet.
Fry Ranch’s Straight Rye Whiskey is fantastic but they wanted to kick it up a notch so they went with a Winter Cereal Rye mashbill, a rye that’s grown and harvested on site at Frey Ranch Distillery’s property. The flavors from this release are smooth but complex. I know this because I was lucky enough to get my hands on a tiny sample ahead of the launch.
You’ll find notes of charred applewood and perfume up front followed by candied berries, fig jam, fruit cake, and leather. And you’ll of course get plenty of Rye spice out of this limited-edition release that’s coming later this fall (September). It will retail for $99 on the Frey Ranch website (link below) so set your calendars for September and check back here for more news on the exact date soon.
Shinesty’s Cooling Boxer Briefs To Beat The Summer Heat
The Triple Chill Effect®
The secret to paradICE™ Cooling Ball Hammock® Pouch Underwear is the Triple Chill Effect. With three unique cooling effects working together to instantly and continually reduce the temperature of your skin, it’s just what you need to stay comfortable through whatever activities you have planned this summer.
First up, brrrº® Pro’s enhanced fibers feature concentrated cooling minerals infused directly into the fabric. Cold to the touch, it’ll actually keep you up to 3º cooler!
On top of that, the patented cooling fabric is hyper wicking, meaning it’s even better at wicking moisture than other fabrics. So you can stay sweat-free while going about your business.
Rounding it all out, the paradICE™ men’s cooling underwear are Performance Drying to keep the undies sweat-free and fresher longer. Although that’s no excuse not to shower every so often.
New Coors x Huckberry Collection Just Dropped
The second Coors x Huckberry Collection just dropped and my GAWD is it magnificent. These will sell out fast. So fast they might be gone before you finish reading this sentence. So be prepared to act fast if you’re into these.
The new collection includes retro-inspired tees, shirts, and hats. To come up with the designs, they went through Coors’ archives from the 80s and 90s to pull the best vintage looks, determine what made those the best, and then improve on those.
I’ve gotten my hand on two of the t-shirts already and I can tell you the softness and quality is worth it alone. Tack on the fact that these are some of the best looking vintage designs of the past decade and this is an absolute win all around.
