Best wine with music (re-visited)

I'll respond to anyone who uses a James Joyce quotation

Right now the perfect music for me are chamber works by Luigi Boccherini with a glass of pinot noir (perhaps it should be Nebbiolo or Sangiovese?). I've been listening to his works and he is definitely an under appreciated composer.

Cheers!

I usually don't drink wine with music unless I am having it as part of dinner. Jazz with a nice meal or classical music with Bordeaux goes well. Electronic music(ambient) such as Brian Eno, Klaus Schulze, or Vangelis are my favorite to drink wine with.

I do know that certain electronic music seems to go very well with wine...some Toronto offliners introduced me to this new method.

Anything produced by Brian Eno.

Love Pommery.

Awesome place...LOts of dark lights and colors and thick electronica music blended well with our bottle of NV Pommery.. Just a thought,..

Let me get this straight; you were feeling festive and Champagne fit the bill? Wow.

Something to try New Years eve....

Bubbly or Pinot and the CD " The Legacy of Phyllis Hyman." She is gone now, but her sexy, smokey voice is relaxing and makes me remember past love affaires It's good to think about the past sometimes.

Woo Hoo!

Brian Eno fans!

I like to drink an slightly musky pinot while listening to "Just Another day on Earth."

For the "Music for Airports" series, champagne fits the ambient flavor. It adds to the experience.

For "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" and "Here Come the Earm Jets," a simpler chard, so it doesn't distract from the variety of sounds.

Top Secret idea you can't steal: I'm working on a set of Oblique Strategy cards for wine drinking and cellaring. Shhhhhh.

ok, I'll bite;

Mateus and the Monkeys
Almaden and the Amadeus soundtrack
Paul Masson and Paul Weller
Thunderbird and Freebird
Harlan and Hanson Um-boop!

Champagne goes well with LSD and electronic music, from what Iv'e been told!

Dead Can Dance - The Ubiquitus Mr. Lovegrove.

that song and a nice smooth red and...well, there is nothing else you have to do really.

Dale

Dead Can Dance
Boards of Canada
Morrissey
Sigur Ros
Enigma
Vangelis
Tangerine Dream
Loreena McKennit
Yo La Tengo
Cocteau Twins
Melody Am


That should get you started on some ambient and electronica for wine drinking

For my tast - its classical music with a glass of Late Bottled Vintage Port and some camembert or brie

Screaming Eagle with Serj Tankian

Funny, I'm in my 20's and I had never heard his name before, but in the past couple of months I'm seeing it everywhere. He recently ranked 15th in the (U.K.) Telegraph's poll of greatest living geniuses. The list is obviously absurd, but it is still interesting, if incredibly wrong.


For me, it is albums I can listen to straight through. Specifically, either The Band or Astral Weeks

You aren't kidding. When did paradigm shifting; popular acclaim; achievement and cultural importance become an attribute of genius?

They're British, what can you expect?

Seriously, I am certainly a fan of The Simpsons but any list putting Matt Groening above Stephen Hawking for greatest genius? That would be incorrect.

I like Beringer Chenin Blanc with low budget porn music.

I've been a Eno fan for years. However, I don't think he's a genius. And this is the weirdest list I've seen in a long time.
