The Menu, The Absurd Proprietary Blend, Tar, Mosel Riesling

The Cogill’s believe “The Menu” is a well-made, well-acted, yet slightly disappointing thriller about a maniacal chef who knows all too much about his patrons.

“Tar” could win Cate Blanchette her third Oscar in a great performance about a troubled Symphony conductor about to go through some things.

Sommelier Hayley Hamilton Cogill expertly tackles “The Menu” with an expensive, highly renowned, bold Napa Valley red wine from Realm Winery called “The Absurd.”

Hayley goes to Germany for the complicated, calculated “Tar” and pairs with an austere, lean, focused, slightly bitter Riesling from Mosel.
