Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music?


Along with that, are you a member of a wine club and if so, which one?

Like jond, I'm in the wine business. Have been for the last 35 years. 

Does wine complement music?  Yup. 

I spend way more on audio than I do on wine simply because I get my vino cheap. 

JJ Prum Kabinett with Joni Mitchell. 

Any Port with Tom Waits. Or a good rye whiskey. 

Music doesn't require alcohol to be enjoyed, but it doesn't hurt, either. 

I like the smell of marijuana at concerts even though I haven't partaken in 40 years. It just seems right. 

Last week I listened to Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" whilst absent-mindedly sipping on a domestic Sauvignon Blanc and was thrown back decades when I remembered that the first time I heard the record I was listening to it with a now departed friend, drinking a domestic Sauvignon Blanc. In August. In his backyard. I probably would have had a somewhat similar flashback with just the record alone, but the wine galvanized, and improved the recollection by adding another dimension to it. 

Mateus Rosè, anyone?
