In Arizona, the evening was slowly settling in as the sun was beginning to set. Having just finished a meal, Alicia Lena stepped out into her sprawling back garden high up in the hills with a perfect view looking down into the City, as the distant lighting suggested that the peaceful tranquillity high above was not replicated out there. As the firepit crackled, the RnB singer walked out into the garden with two glasses of Chateau Latour 1963 red wine, handing one to her longtime friend before sitting down herself.
“It’s crazy how close this place is to the madness of California but feels like an entirely different world.” |

Ryan Ross Hernandez sat back while admiring the view the hills provided down into the city, deep in thought for a moment until he heard Alicia approaching, laughing softly at her comment. "I can see why you love it out here. Once you settle into this sort of peace and tranquility it's tough to step out of it for long stretches," he mused aloud, thanking her softly when she handed him the glass of wine. It was no secret Alicia was one of his longtime friends in the industry and evenings like this were commonplace in their friendship over the years.
He swirled it and took a whiff of it before he took a small sip, "Hmm, I'm certain this is a Chateau Latour but I can't place the year." Ryan was a known oenophile, his LA home having a wine cellar that housed a collection that was valued in the millions at this point. "I'm going to say this is from 1966 maybe?" he guessed before taking another drink from it. |

Alicia smiled warmly as she sat down, taking a second to get herself comfortable. “Oh, seriously it’s way too easy to just stay home.” She says with a small laugh, it had been no secret that it had taken some time for her to figure out the right balance for her career and home life. Opting to step away from the spotlight for a number of years in order to dedicate her time to being a mother and wife in the mid-2010’s before eventually stepping back into things in the 2020’s which culminated in her first studio album in over ten years. “When I’m away for more than a couple of days, I’m just longing for the calmness of this place.”
She smiled as Ryan showed his expertise, she knew he had a penchant for the finer things in life and although she lived on that same wavelength those finer details of wine wasn’t in her repertoire. They were fully stocked in the wine cellar courtesy of her husband DeAndre Patton and she knew which were her favourites but her knowledge wasn’t so vast. “You’re right, good spot.” she says, completely oblivious to the fact that he was off slightly on the year. She laughs a little, “Honestly, if Dey was here I’m sure you guys could talk for hours over his recent wine investments. But I’m no good with that stuff, I know what I like and that’s about it.” she smiles a little, teasing slightly, “Men and there obsessions.” she says playfully, “He did leave you a couple of cigars that he’s just had imported, apologized for not being available to catch up tonight.” |
