MY VALENTINE: ‘Blue Eyed Boy’ by Molly Dooker ❤️🍷🥰

I’ve always been a sucker for Dark hair, BLUE EYES… and Back in my NOBU days, I crossed paths with “Blue Eyed Boy” by Molly Dooker, and oh boy, was it love at first sip! This wasn’t just any Shiraz; it was like meeting the smooth-talking, heart-throbbing lover of the wine world. And since I’m rocking the single life, let’s just say “Blue Eyed Boy” has become my delightful repeat romance – no strings attached, just pure, indulgent pleasure in a glass. Every uncorked bottle (which is actually just a screw cap) is a rendezvous to relish, a velvety embrace to remember. And what better occasion to have another “date” with my “Blue Eyed Boy” than this Valentine’s Day? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now, let’s dive deeper into this exquisite wine. Imagine a bottle of “Blue Eyed Boy,” dark and mysterious, with a deep, dark purple hue that promises a rich and intense experience. When you give it a swirl, you’ll notice those thick, slow-moving tears on the glass, hinting at the rich texture awaiting your palate.

The symphony of flavors in “Blue Eyed Boy” is nothing short of spectacular. This full-bodied Shiraz, aged in American oak, bursts with dark fruits like blackcurrants, blueberries, and plums, all playing in perfect harmony. Then comes the encore of spices – think cinnamon and black pepper, with an intermission of vanilla and dark chocolate adding a touch of sophistication.

But that’s not all! This wine is a foodie’s dream partner. Grilled meats, roasted veggies, rich pastas, and strong cheeses like blue cheese or aged cheddar all pair wonderfully with this Shiraz. And with a 15.5% alcohol content, it packs a delightful punch.

The brains behind the bottle, Sarah and Sparky Marquis, have created something truly special with “Blue Eyed Boy.” Their son, Luke, the real-life “Blue Eyed Boy,” embodies the pride and effort they pour into this special wine. This personal connection to their son adds a layer of passion and dedication to the creation of “Blue Eyed Boy,” making it more than just a wine, but a representation of family love and craftsmanship. This heartfelt inspiration is one of the many reasons why “Blue Eyed Boy” really stands out. It’s worth noting that “Blue Eyed Boy” is highly allocated and can sometimes be hard to find. But, as of writing this article, it looks like it’s currently available at Wine.com ($59) — a real stroke of luck for those looking to indulge this month 😉. AND — for you Angelenos, I usually head to Total Wine in Woodland Hills. It’s worth every penny of its $55 price tag.

Let’s talk ratings–STELLAR!!! The 2021 vintage of “Blue Eyed Boy” scored a robust 92 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. That’s like getting an A in wine school! And the 2014 vintage received a score of 91/100 from Natalie MacLean– for this discriminating wine critic — that’s the wine equivalent of a standing ovation! And honestly that really reflects the wine’s exceptional quality and the winemakers’ skill at Molly Dooker!

So, as I look forward to my Valentine’s Day “date” with MY “Blue Eyed Boy,” remember, you’re not just tasting wine; you’re enjoying a winner, a reminder of unforgettable encounters, and the joys of exceptional wine!!! 🥇🍷🥰
