The other day, I told you about Mollydooker wines and apparently Sparky Marquis, CEO of Mollydooker and wine maker, reads my blogs! (Since he’s in Australia, what is more likely is that he has a "Google search" created for his wines).
Sparky sent me a very friendly email about Gary Vanderchuk and my post:
"Thanks very much for the great comments in your recent “The Mortgage Porter”….I was laughing at Gary’s videos when I saw them the other day. Now he is extremely passionate. As he said when he was doing the videos he is a great friend of ours and has always been a huge supporter of our wines. What I realised by the end of his video was that I had forgotten to teach him about the "Mollydooker Shake" which we found to be such a critical part of what we do that we have put it on our new website www.mollydookerwines.com . Gary said that he would be reviewing The Boxer (as well as the fall release wines, Enchanted Path, Carnival of Love and Velvet Glove) using the Mollydooker Shake, so we will be interesting to see what he says. All of the Lefty Series wines will also be reviewed in The Wine Advocate at the end of August so it is going to be awesome to see the comparison."
My husband and I gave the Dooky Shake a try. Earlier this week, we opened a 2006 Two Left Feet. Doing the Dooky Shake made a huge improvement on the wine. It’s incredible. Before we were unsure about the 2006 Two Left Feet (compared to 2005)…now we’re thrilled.
I do recommend finding Mollydooker before the Wine Advocate review. Wine Spectator has rated the 2006 Boxer at 90 points. Wine Advocates rating last year created an absolute frenzy over Two Left Feet and Boxer (at the $20 price point).
If you love Aussie fruit bombs…
- Find Mollydooker
- Do the Dooky Shake.
- Cheers!
Since I recommended the wine last week…I wanted to share the inside scoop with you.
Hot tip from neighbor…Mollydooker is available at the West Seattle Metropolitan Market. I was just there and they have 1 bottle of Boxer out on the shelf and a couple of Two Left Feet. If I were you, I’d dance on over there and pick up some Mollydooker.
Log on to the Esquin wine cellars web site for info on a Mollydooker dinner to be held later this month in Seattle!
