Talking Sexism & Teamwork at "The History of Women & The Cocktail"
WINE. all the time.
by Marissa A. Ross
3y ago
Photo by Christa Norman Back in March, I was asked to be the keynote speaker (!) at "The History of Women & The Cocktail" event sponsored by Pomp + Whimsy Gin. Dr. Nicola Nice, the founder of Pomp + Whimsy asked for me to talk about sexism in the industry, which I was more than happy to since I deal with it all the damn time. Not to say I wasn't nervous-- it was my first time giving a speech and not just cracking jokes and wow, I've got to say it's way harder talking in front of people when they're not laughing at everything you say.  But after the speech, I had a number of atte ..read more

Domaine de La Chappe's “André” Pinot Noir
WINE. all the time.
by Marissa A. Ross
3y ago
Apparently I still have a thing for smug, artsy dudes. Domaine de La Chappe's “André” Pinot Noir is a wild romp through brambles of high acid raspberry, black cherries and the orange-hued innards of early summer plums, wet from rhythmic suburban sprinklers. It has these overtones of Brett and whispers of VA that make me suspicious, and somehow make me love it more. It's so easy and fun, I want to fight with it, in the same way you want to fight with a grade school crush. I want to push its buttons, because it's pushing mine. It's making me want to use the word "funky," which is my least favor ..read more

Pithon-Paillé "Grololo" Grolleau
WINE. all the time.
by Marissa A. Ross
3y ago
“Pithon-Paillé 'Grololo' Grolleau smells like the all sprinklers just went off at dusk in late July across an entire neighborhood; lawns of peppered strawberry and blackberry, wet sidewalks wafting. And it tastes like a spiced raspberry juice hot tub with the acidic shock of a peer-pressured dive into the pool. It's not THAT cold, so it's cool [bahhh-dumm-chhh] but it still fucking hits ya, man. It's a pure and simple pleasure, the kind of thing you don't have to think too much about until you decided to hit the bong because you have the worst cramps ever and now here we are. [Ahem] Yeah ..read more

RIP
WINE. all the time.
by Marissa A. Ross

“‘Controversial’ wine columnist Marissa A. Ross unexpectedly died last night at local pizzeria, Cosa Buona. While it is unclear whether the writer was physically crushed by a Jeroboam of Partida Creus, or virtually drown her own insides in the Vinel-Lo, sources close to Ross say this is how she would have wanted to go. ‘She always quoted that Kendrick song ya know, always saying she would die for this shit,’ her husband, Ben, told Channel Seven. Ross, just shy of 32, was most known for chugging from the bottle, cussing too much, and ‘The Watcher’ Instastory videos. She is survived by her husb ..read more

Peggy et Jean Pascal Buronfosse Côtes du Jura "Marcus Térentius Varro"
WINE. all the time.
by Marissa A. Ross
3y ago
Ah, the Mrs. Robinson of wines. Peggy et Jean Pascal Buronfosse's Côtes du Jura Marcus Térentius Varro smells familial and safe, like flat Martinelli's in your glass you're still happy to drink at your grandma's house surrounded by relative strangers. But it unexpectedly strikes you, so angular and controlled, and at the same time, a bit slutty, spilling over itself in small doses of sensual oak and oxidation. It's the acidic unzip of the dress, it's the clean salinity of the aquamarine pool, it's the warm flash of the tan-lined flesh. It's Anne Bancroft's eyes zeroing in on you, all-knowing ..read more

François Saint-Lô "Hey Gro!!"
WINE. all the time.
by Marissa A. Ross
3y ago
François Saint-Lô "Hey Gro!!" Varietal: Grolleau Region: Loire, France Year: 2016 Price: $27 Retailer: Lou Wine Shop Importer: Terrell Wines There's only so long one can go before they're back on their bullshit. Approximately three months if we're talking about me and light red wines. I've been flirting with méthode Champenoise bubbles, lusting traditional Burgundy, and sneaking around with vintage Barolo. But no matter what transcendent Chardonnay crosses my dinner table or what new wave Merlot that "gets me thinking" is poured, what really gets my thighs tingling is a light-bright, tar ..read more

Lucy Margaux Wildman Blanc Varietal: Sauvignon Blanc Region: Adelaide Hills, Australia Year: 2016 Price: ~$35 (Sorry I was buzzed when I bought it & can't find the receipt) Retailer: Ordinaire Distributor: T. Edward   My father-in-law is quite a character, the kind of guy who is usually addressed as The Danimal and starts most of his stories with, "Well, we were on quaaludes..." This past weekend, he was telling me about this time he and his buddy were waterskiing when they decided to drop their trunks and proceed to drop into a bay that was home to an upscale resort. They liter ..read more

Lasagna Bolognese & Lamoresca Mascalesi
WINE. all the time.
by Marissa A. Ross
3y ago
Ah, Lasagna, or as I like to call it, "Sweatpants for your insides." Frankly, the lasagna and the wine didn't pair very well together and I knew it wasn't going to, but frankly my dears, I GAVE NO DAMNS. Because when you want to drink Lamoresca, you drink Lamoresca, because nothing else will do. Their Mascalesi is one of my favorites. This blend of Nerello Mascalese and Frappato is like drinking a bright sweater woven with 50/50 cranberry wool & black cherry cotton that was tossed in the dryer with Bounce sheets made of pressed red roses, pepper & thyme. Volcanic and grippy, yet light ..read more
