I totally agree that there are tons of similarities between drinking wine and listening to music, and that when both activities are happening simultaneously, they can influence each other in significant and interesting ways. I guess my goal with this blog, for whatever is reason, is to talk about similarities between the two in a more general, cultural sort of context, not so much about how the two can be enjoyed together, side by side (part of the reason is that I know a couple of these blogs already exist...). Although I do absolutely think they can be enjoyed together, and I think it's definitely worth exploring the "mood" and "personality" factors that go into drinking wine and listening to music. Who knows, I may end up writing about this down the line...<br /><br />Also thanks for the recommendations. I'm originally from the DC area and I'm there pretty often so I'll be sure to check out Range next time I'm in town. And I'll keep an eye out for Sanguis wines here in New York. <br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />Best,<br />MikeMike Harlenhttp://ablogaboutwineandmusic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8251367839805454476.post-40351636891080424332013-09-25T09:05:09.649-07:002013-09-25T09:05:09.649-07:00The overlap between wine and music is actually mor...The overlap between wine and music is actually more significant than you may think. Wine appeals to and can influence your mood and emotional state. Similarly, certain moods or frmaes of mind can influence the type of wine you're in the mood to drink. There's a small winery in California named Sanguis, that produces very distinctive wines. The winemaker pairs the wines not only with foods, but with music. When you drink his wines, you can see the connection. Similarly, there's a restaurant in DC (Bryan Voltaggio's Range) at which the master sommelier has segmented the wine list based on the wines' "personality" and "mood" using various musical artists as metaphor. Yes, wine and music do go together and their vocabularies can have much in common. Keep blogging.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056439668188031052noreply@blogger.com
