Pairing Wine with Music – My Winespill
The Art of Pairing Wine with Music
I read an article once on the pairing of wine to music where they went in-depth about the music that should be played while drinking a specific wine; listening to music is as subjective to the listener as a wine flavor. Everyone has their own taste buds and memories that trigger emotions which help form your interpretation. Your likes and your dislikes depend a great deal on experiences that you have had.
Some winemakers will play music to inspire their wines, much like a painter that paints to music. The art of winemaking is a very creative process backed by experience to know what is possible. Some winemakers will oversee the entire process from the vineyard to the bottle. When to pick the grapes, what yeast to use, the style of wine, the process of aging, how long it will be aged, and finally the blend. The larger wineries may have a team that takes care of all this and the winemaker can focus on preparing wines for bottling. Inspiring their creations to land in a home filled with music.
A Music Fest for all Seasons
There are so many music festivals taking place every year all year long and my favorite festival is the fall wine harvest. The wine-growing regions in Texas produce almost 2.5 million gallons a year. Now that’s a party. If you need a place to start your wine and music experience try the music genres listed below with each varietal of wine. Add music as part of your wine tasting experience and this may help you burn a memory of a beautiful day at a winery, or even in your own home.
Add Some Spice to Your Evening
Pairing Wine with Music gets a little edgy with the spicy notes of Zinfandel and the outlaw country stars of classic country and bluegrass music. Find your favorite zin and pair it with some old Hank, Willie, Waylon or Cash. You can tell me all about your first experience with a hot flash of Texas Red Dirt music. Fusing traditional country roots with some spicy, outspoken, carefree Zin.
Play it Cool and Jazzy
Are you more cool and classic like a Pinot Noir? Pinot Noir is considered a “difficult” grape, to grow, to deal with in the winery, and to find truly great examples of. Great Pinot Noir is often one of the most complex of all varietals, similar to a complex jazz piece that an original rendition will burst forth each time it is played. Pairing a Twentieth-century genre of American music that, like humor in literature, takes you by surprise. You hear the unusual techniques and rhythms as the accents fall where least expected; polyphonic improvisation that you’ll never experience the same way twice.
A Gen-X Kind of Night
Maybe you are feeling a little anti-establishment or feel the need to express yourself. Throw on your favorite black outfit, spin a Cure Album on the turntable and pour yourself a glass of Riesling wine. It is a delicate grape yet adaptable in many ways, taking on the characteristics of the terroir it is grown in succumbing to a number of different styles. Be sure to use a tumbler wine glass as you will not be able to sit this night. As the music resonates and summons you to get into the groove.
