Lost again? Have some more wine.
In honor of tonight’s season premiere, here is an encore listing of my drinking choices for a good Lost viewing. And so help me, if Ben pisses me off tonight, I will find a way to jump through the screen.
Even though a light refreshing beachy white may seem the obvious choice, I chose all reds… you need something pretty solid and grounding to follow Lost and it’s weighty episodes. If not, you’ll probably take out your frustrations on white wine, down 3 bottles without even knowing it, and curse Michael Giacchino’s booming sting as ‘LOST’ in giant letters pop on the screen.
My picks–
Price point: Tug boat.
In honor of Jacob and flight number:
Jacob’s Creek Limited Release Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon 2001 $8.99
Joel Gott Blend No. 815 Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 $15.79
Price point: Sailing Yacht.
In honor of Sawyer and his dramatic ocean copter dive:
Sawyer Cellars Merlot 2004 $39.00
Babcock Pinot Noir Ocean’s Ghost Vineyard 2006 $54.99
Price point: Charles Widmore.
In honor of Dharma Initiative class of 1997 and Ben’s Smoke Monster confession:
Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 1977 $79.95
Sea Smoke Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills Ten 2006 $99.99
These wines aren’t just fun names, they are all pretty well received and worth considering. My fave? The Babcock Pinot. Even better than that? Knowing what the hell John Locke is talking about.
