"A Bottle of Wine and Patsy Cline"


If it weren’t for food, pairing music with wine would be the ultimate matchmaking game. Much like a good meal, music is all about the intangibles: Your mood, the setting, and the people you’re with. It’s that moment with those influences all coinciding at once that make up the experience.

Some nights require a little rock. On other evenings, experimental jazz is what you’re craving. Tomorrow could be hip-hop or Pink Floyd. You just don’t know.

Whatever you might be pining for, we’ve gathered up all of the artists who were so inspired with the vino that they named songs after it, one way or another. Because in a perfect world, to quote The National: “All of the wine is all for me.”

Most often, I listen to a variety of music that I enjoy, and that happens to be wine related.  Here are some suggestions in a number of different genres.   Perhaps you’d like to add some suggestions via the comments section at the bottom of the blog.  We’d love to have your ideas!
