Being the music lovers that Kathleen and I are, we have delved into discussions about pairing music and wine. She has written about this on our magazines website, I wanted to take the opportunity to try my hand at it as well, how do you even start with the choices out there for both wine and music.
Wine and music are both such creative outlets; with wine it’s in the nose, taste, and finish. Music is very similar you have the intro, bridge and outro; I’ll list out my choices for several pairings, and encourage you the readers to try these and see what your own parings might be.
Chardonnay-Something bluesy – I’m thinking Ruthie Foster
Sauvignon Blanc-The Cranberries
Pinot Grigio- Colby Cailat
Riesling-The Avett Brothers
Cabernet Sauvignon- Has to be heavy- Rob Zombie
Pinot Noir-Stevie Wonder
Syrah-Chopin Nocturnes
Merlot-Evanesence
As in life we have to find enjoyment and inspiration sometimes in the littlest of things. So the next time you sit down to try a new wine why not try some new music as well.
Cheers,
Erik

I never thought to compare music to wine. That is a very descriptive way of getting it across. The next time I drink wine I will have to listen to the music.
Hello, I am an owner of a family run winery in Paso Robles. I thought you might be interested in knowing we are doing a pairing of our wines with live music on October 18th and 19th. We are a family of professional musicians and our modern tasting room has a permanent stage and lighting for live performances. We will pour each of our wines one by one and perform a piece to set the right mood. If it's successful we hope to continue this event in one form or another in the future. You can find out more at http://www.danbino.com. Thanks!
