Swinging back into the podcasting groove with one of my favorite LA wine dudes: Ian from Good Clean Fun! Ian has been curating wine vibes and great bottles in DTLA since he opened GCF in 2021. Over the years, it’s become one of my go-to neighborhood hangouts with their epic patio parties and I even co-hosted my very first Mas Vino event with them back in November 2021!
Ian has always pushed the boundaries with what a great wine bar can be and has been instrumental in making the LA wine scene an exciting destination! I loved having this chat with Ian and always love learning from him and the wines he’s inspired by!
I hope you enjoy this episode— don’t forget to share, like and rate ;)
Valentine Wine Recommendations:
For a Romantic Dinner for Two: Tenuta la Pergola Monferrato - Barbera from Piedmont -rustic and savory, made for red sauce with notes of licorice, peppercorn and rosemary.
For a sexy night in: Como La Flor - rose geranium + carbonic monte & carignan. Sultry and sexy with a little freshness: cranberry, currant and green pepper.
For your Galentine: Chismosa! - sparkling rose with rose, grapefruit and citrus rind notes. Made for hanging with your girls and your gays and spilling some chisme.
When You’re Your Own Valentine: Les Athletes du Vin Pineau d’Aunis - great body (just like you!) but still fresh and crushable with red fruit and little savory smoke. Super light so you can definitely tackle this bottle on your own but also great for sharing with a friend ;)
Ian’s GCF Valentine Picks: Georges Duboeuf Pays d’oc Cabernet 2021 & Craft Wine Co. Rockwell Sparkling Red (**Both available at Good Clean Fun!**)
