Episode 109: Dope Cellar Profile Alban Debeauieu

For October’s Dope Cellar Dinner, Jermaine “The Wolf of Wine” Stone takes listeners inside the story of Oregon’s boutique powerhouse, Abbott Claim Winery, through the lens of fine wine and hip hop. In this Dope Cellar Profile, Jermaine sits down with winemaker Alban Debeaulieu — the French-born visionary blending Burgundy precision with Oregon soul.

Together, they taste through a lineup that includes the 2022 & 2023 Eola-Amity Hills Chardonnay, 2022 & 2023 Temperance Hill Pinot Noir, and 2022 & 2023 X Omni Chardonnay — wines that prove why Abbott Claim is redefining boutique craftsmanship in the Willamette Valley.

As the glasses empty, Jermaine and Alban explore the intersection of artistry and intention, pairing the wines with hip-hop heavyweights Jay-Z’s “Oh My God” and Clipse’s “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face.” The result? A powerful collision of flavor, philosophy, and flow.
