5 Pandemic Wine Pairings You Need Right NOW

What the what?!? Are you in an episode of Black Mirror?

Unfortunately not, this is actual reality. BUT we are lucky to have internet, wine and sweat pants. I don't want to take too much time away from your binge watching Netflix so lets get down to some important pairings!

Pairing 1: "Tiger King", Netflix's ridiculous show. Ridiculously entertaining, I-wouldn't-ever-be-watching-this-if-I-wasn't-trapped-in-my-house show.
     PAIRED WITH: well this one gets several... If you are rooting for...
     Carole Baskin: Warm Vivac Chardonnay, just plop some ice in it and pretend it isn't still warm.
     Joe Exotic: Vivac Sangiovese with fruit and vodka, extra kicker just cause!
     Jeff Lowe: Vivac Cabernet with Coka-a Cola, beef up all those flavors and cover it up all at the same time.

Pairing 2: It's-another-morning-in-quarantine-and-I-got-outta-bed PAIRED WITH Vivac Rose of Cabernet... because this incredible little wine is the only thing that will encourage you to get up before noon.

Pairing 3: Zoom work meetings PAIRED WITH Vivac Abbott Red, red wine blend, because it tastes so good it doesn't even matter that you are drinking it out of a mug and telling your co-workers its coffee.

Pairing 4: I-haven't-showered-in-days PAIRED WITH Vivac Diavolo red wine blend because it goes down so smoothly that you'll be a couple bottles in before you've finished re-watching last season of Schitt's Creek and your purple lined lips can't even mouth "bath time".

AND the final pairing is... is-it-inappropriate-to-drink-out-of-the-bottle PAIRED WITH this Vivac wine was found on the nightstand, what day is this, who am I combo.

All joking aside, we hope you are all staying safe and healthy. We know many of us are losing loved ones and that the mental fatigue of handling this is real. We hope having a little laugh helps your day. Sending love from all of us at Vivac Winery.
