It was nice to hear you talk a little bit about the various single vineyard rieslings from New York that you’ve experienced. Germany was my laws of thermodynamics Alsace was my theory of relativity New York was the Higgs-Boson. Personally, Riesling is what drove me to my path in wine. For consumers, it’s breaking the barrier of what they think Riesling is and showing them wines that can communicate not just place but also the future of these places. Among my colleagues, at least, Riesling enjoys superhero status with regards to its versatility as well as its unmatched depth in terms of spectrum of style, comparing really only to Chenin Blanc. Riesling to me has always been the wine with a chip on its shoulder: if you’re a working somm, you probably have some sort of affinity to the grape if you’re a consumer, you’re probably weary of its connotation as a sweet wine for producers, it’s probably chasing the ideal of a perfect wine. How do you view the identity of riesling today in the eyes of the trade circles that you’re a part of, as well as the consumers who come through your restaurant? In the short time that we’ve known each other it’s become violently obvious to me that you have a genuine love of riesling. I look forward to welcoming so many of you to the Grand Tasting in March, where we can certainly all share a glass of Riesling together. It was pleasure to converse with Miguel, and I hope you’ll follow the link to our web page where you can read the entire interview, into which Miguel really put some thought and time.
He has worked in various capacities at Chez Panisse (Berkeley, CA), Momofuku (NYC), and Casa Mono (NYC) for beverage, and is a guest speaker at the Institute of Culinary Education. He received his Advanced Certification with Merit from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust in 2012 and Certification with the Sake Education Council in 2013. Miguel is the wine director of Pinch Chinese in New York City. This fourth album offers the perfect balance between mainstream soul and a more underground groove.To keep the conversation going on the subject of our state’s Rieslings, I spoke with the influential young sommelier Miguel de Leon, who is a passionate Riesling devotee. For all that, War & Leisure is no What’s Going On but Miguel owed it to himself to work in such a context, even if his music is often synonymous with luxury, evanescence, sex and decadence.
Born to a Mexican father and an African-American mother, the man with mixed heritage takes some pot-shots at the Trump presidency, which is silencing those it represents. But the record's real surprise is without a doubt Miguel's social engagement. Cole on Come Through And Chill make the whole thing even more tantalising. The appearances by Rick Ross on Criminal, Travis Scott on Sky Walker and J. Sexy too, like on Pineapple Skies for which he has aptly borrowed the melody from Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing. His alloy of soul and soft funk with traces of rock or techno drove the Californian to the sides of Frank Ocean, Prince and even Marvin Gaye… This time round, the Californian is more languorous than ever, for a smoother and more sensual album. With Kaleidoscope Dream in 2012 and above all the grandiose Wildheart of 2015, Miguel Jontel Pimentel alias Miguel broke into the big leagues.
