Vinoculation

Food and wine is one of the best matches out there, but I would hasten to advocate the soothing pleasure of the jazz and wine match. Listening to jazz records tonight, on an extremely high quality sound system (you know, with speakers that get better with age…) and a glass of red was pure bliss. What was I drinking? Started out with a 2003 Domaine Paul Blanck Riesling (lush and delightful), then a 2003 Howard Park Leston Cab Sauv (polished, fine tannins with a late fruit kick - exquisite) and a 2003 Noon Eclipse to finish (hugely textural mouthfeel, oodles of fruit and alcohol wonderfully in check; sensational). What was I listening to? Miles Davis, Ahmad Jamal, Paul Desmond, Art Pepper and lots more, courtesy of GN.
