Pairing Wine and Music with Notes of Cambria
This post was sponsored by Cambria Winery as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.
One of my favorite evenings out is attending wine pairings. While I certainly love wine on its own or with a good meal, there is something special about taking the time to notice how wine pairs with different flavors. We’ve attended pairings with chocolate and with cheese but I have to admit that I had never thought of pairing wine with music!
Yes, I’ve been to concerts on the green where we brought or bought wine to enjoy while listening, but never even thought of having specific wines go with specific pieces of music. But what a perfect idea, right? The owners of Cambria challenged a local musician to create musical pieces to match the moods two of their wines evoke.
I don’t know a lot about wine production, so I was interested to learn that Cambria’s Benchbreak Chardonnay and Benchbreak Pinot Noir are estate grown and bottled, high quality, immensely flavorful wines that are expressive of California’s Santa Maria Valley, the wine-growing region where they’re from.
If you are anything like me, you’re going to want to run out and grab some Cambria wine so that you can savor the flavors as you listen to the musical pieces again and again. You find out where can pick up the wines mentioned in the videos here. You can also connect with Cambria wines on Facebook and Twitter.
This music makes me want to just settle back and sip some of these great sounding wines. I know it is not the weekend which is when we usually would imbibe but this post makes you want to drink a nice wine.
That is so cool! I love the entire vibe of pairing wine with music. It’s just so… I dunno. Classy, I guess.
This sounds like a great way to spend the evening. I am not a wine drinker, but my sister would enjoy this.
Not a drinker myself but great to learn more about wine. Great post!
Wine pairings are definitely not my strong suit. I love music so I love the analogies of the wine and the music together.
This sounds like so much fun! I love pairing wine with food! It’s amazing what you can taste from the grapes!
Love this pairing… wine and music. A great idea and thank you for the suggestions, will be trying some of these soon.
This is a super interesting concept! Never thought about this type of pairing before!
This is pretty awesome. I never thought about taking the time to pair wine with music. I am more focused on the food.
This is the first time I heard and about wine and music pairing. It is usually food and or cheese pairing that I know of. This sounds interesting though. I might give this a try.
Me too – I thought it was a really unique idea!
Love the combination of wine and music and if you put together a song that’s dedicated to wine, then that’s even better! I really enjoyed watching the video.
I wrote about how much I enjoyed this as well. Wine is the perfect beverage when you’re unwinding after a stressful week! Imagine listening to something that’s inspired by our favorite wines! That’s just SO awesome.
