Mike D becomes wine blogger
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 17 February 2011
Mike D is clearly reading from the Manic Street Preachers book of promotion in the run-up to the release of the new Beastie Boys album. No, he’s not going on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, but he has become a blogger for wine merchants James Suckling. You’ve gotta get that middle class dollar.
In his first post, the rapper said: “I had a half bottle of 2006 Jean-Marc Morey Santenay La Comme Dessus last week at Momofuku Ssam Bar here in New York during a late and delicious lunch break from the studio. We are putting the finishing touches on a new album. Fortunately, we have been working closely with our esteemed colleague Mr Zdar, so we have been sticking to his French work ethic of strong coffee and lengthy sit-down lunches”.
He continued: “The red Burgundy was really good actually, especially when you don’t expect much out of a restaurant half bottle. I can’t say the spicy cuisine did the wine any favours. But still, after properly cleansing the palate, this was surprisingly ready to rock – ripe fruits, earthy notes, even a little bit of refined funk. Elegant and restrained with well-balanced tension. 93 points”.
