Join us at our Crystal Basin Cellars locations this January 2023 to celebrate our Meau-Faux, John Belushi.

What is a Meau-Faux and why does Crystal Basin Celebrate them?

We are always seeking to identify and honor innovative leadership. We’ve created a way for us all to recognize and celebrate truly unique folks on their respective birthdays. Each month, Crystal Basin selects a special Meau-Faux who have made an indelible mark on the world in their own way. This moniker is not to be taken lightly. It takes a LOT to be a Meau-Faux. You have to get up early, stay up late, and in many specific cases, be able to party like a rockstar. We know these personalities and what they stand for instantly. By calling our attention to these leaders, we hope you’ll be able to pull some essence of their spirit into you daily life. They are, quite simply, Meau-Fauxs.

Why is the January 2023 Meau-Faux John Belushi?

John Belushi is an obvious choice for Meau-Faux of the month. Rocketing to fame as a lead on the venerable Saturday Night Live (remember when it was funny?), Belushi lived big and partied hard. His comic genius will forever be part of our culture from his parts in movies like Animal House, Blues Brothers and Neighbors. Listen closely today and you’ll hear a Belushi quote that will give you a belly laugh. Salute John at January’s Comedic Meau-Faux.

January Wine of the Month Cabernet Sauvignon

January Wine of the Month Cabernet Sauvignon

by | Dec 30, 2022 | Cellar Events, Station Events, Wine of the Month

Visit us at any of our Crystal Basin Cellar locations during the month of December for a special tasting featuring our January Wine of the Month Cabernet Sauvignon.

No discussion about wines made from red grapes is complete without homage to Cabernet Sauvignon. The most-planted grape in the world, Cabernet Sauvignon has proponents of its rich and tannic flavor profile in most, if not all, of the grape growing regions of the world.

Hailing from the Bordeaux region of western France, the best versions of wines made from this grape can reach a graceful age and awe you with their cost. Best found on your dinner table or on the menu of your favorite restaurant, Cabernet Sauvignon compliments fine foods and a healthy diet.

With small berries and low vineyard yield, Cabernet Sauvignon creates multi-layered wines that can be enjoyed during winter months and warming dinners in cozy living rooms. Crystal Basin has used the same vineyard sources for our Cabernet Sauvignon for over 20 years. Enjoy with those you love!

Join us at our Crystal Basin Cellars locations this December to celebrate our December Meau-Faux, Kit Carson.

What is a Meau-Faux and why does Crystal Basin celebrate them?

We are always seeking to identify and honor innovative leadership. We’ve created a way for us all to recognize and celebrate truly unique folks on their respective birthdays. Each month, Crystal Basin selects a special Meau-Faux who have made an indelible mark on the world in their own way.

This moniker is not to be taken lightly. It takes a LOT to be a Meau-Faux. You have to get up early, stay up late, and in many specific cases, be able to party like a rockstar. We know these personalities and what they stand for instantly. By calling our attention to these leaders, we hope you’ll be able to pull some essence of their spirit into you daily life. They are, quite simply, Meau-Fauxs.

Why is the December Meau-Faux Kit Carson?

Kit Carson was a pioneering Meau-Faux who helped define the American West. Literally blazing trails where no European explorers had visited before, he was responsible for exploring new trails to the west, including the Oregon Trail partnered up with fellow early explorer John Fremont. He was a badass frontier warrior who participated in the Bear Flag Revolt, the Mexican American War and the Civil War. No, he was not particularly nice to the locals during some of these episodes. His exploits included pioneering what is now Highway 88. He settled in New Mexico and we think he is a true American Meau-Faux. Join us at either location on December 24, 2022, to take advantage of a special offer on our bagnum wine Meau-Faux in honor of the our December Meau-Faux Kit Carson.
