Vinyl & Vino Pairing:

🎵 Wild Planet - The B-52s
🍷 Visintini Pinot Grigio ($14/glass this weekend)

I recently snagged this gem from Hunky Dory down the street from our shop. I love this record so of course I have to come up with the perfect wine pairing! What could match the iconoclastic sound - a little bit new wave, a little bit of B movie kitsch, and all kinds of danceable energy - of The B-52s? My favorite skin-contact Pinot Grigio, of course!

Visintini’s Pinot Grigio hits the same notes as this record: familiar yet unique, lively and fun, and dance-spirational. From an organic, family-run farm in Friuli, Italy it’s a little bit mountain white, a little bit orange wine, and all kinds of crisp, citrusy deliciousness.

It’s open by the glass this weekend. Stop in for a sample, take home a bottle, and find a beat to dance to.
