On Episode 8 of Day Drinking Nashville with Kimber and Amy, we have John's "road husband" and Drummer for The Monkees (yes, the "real" Monkees, like "hey, hey we're the Monkees," like the TV show, "The Monkees")...RICH DART!!

Since Rich doesn't drink Al Key Hol....there was WAY more for Kimber and Amy to enjoy while he was also sipping on a mocktail made with one of our favorite non-alcoholic choices, Seedlip!  

Both wines featured on this episode are produced by Morgan Winery in California. The first wine introduced is Metallico, by Morgan, which is a beautiful and pure expression of Chardonnay, as it is un-oaked and instead, aged in stainless steel for 4 months. With tropical fruit and mineral aromas, this wine is light to medium in body and very refreshing. It just so happens that this wine also pairs well with Rich's stories of how he came to meet one of his musical hero's, Micky Dolenz, then being asked to join his band and eventually playing with The Monkees!  

As the storytelling continues and we find out more about Rich, including his symphony gigs playing the xylophone on steroids, we dive into our next wine, Cotes du Crow's. This unique blend of grenache and syrah, with just the right amount of tempranillo and cinsalt is blended and aged 10 months in oak, adding the perfect touch of vanilla and spice. This wine is just bold enough to carry us through while we hear funny stories about the perks of being a drummer and funny fan stories that you just can't make up.  

Here's to Morgan Winery and one of our very favorite storytellers, Rich Dart!!

Cheers!
