Tim, I'd say that in so far as the spontaneity of your choices of wine in that circumstance mirrors the spontaneity inherent to jazz (or "improvisation", if you will), then yes, of course it makes sense.


Cool.

Put another way, the heavy oily character of Niagara makes me think of a bass line and a wistful trombone; the candy-sweet high-note musk makes me think of a very fine percussion motif in the background, or even towards the finish of a tune, when it simply ends off with a smooth percussive note.


Nice.

I like the way you describe the experience....I'll have to give it a try myself.

Anybody else heading up to Denver next week for the Jazz Fest?

I've long wanted to see Kevin Mahogany in person, but he doesn't come to NM.

Wasn't this a nice birthday gift?

I was thinking more of a velvety soft and aged cabernet with notes of leather and chocolate....ruby red with a wonderful bouquet.

A classy wine for a classy Jazz singer/pianist :D

I could go there, too.

Diana Krall is one musician I have yet to see in concert...soon, I hope. :)
