I can definitely relate how certain ambient music or other sounds can affect the wine experience and I am curious to see your results from the tasting panel. If you want Hardy to bounce, you better be sure you got some 70's Funk or hard-core rap on the playlist :) I love Petite Sirah as well as your advocacy group... it's a varietal I can't get enough of. Thanks for the comment and let us know when your post is ready and I'll be sure to let people know about it!

I'm about to have a tasting with Petite Sirah. Here's my writing panel: Steve Heimoff, Dan Berger, Rich Hinkle, Hardy Wallace - assuming I can get them all together at the same time this coming month. We are going to taste submitted PSs from my members. (Among other things, I'm the founder and executive director of PS I Love You ~ www.psiloveyou.org ~ the advocacy group for Petite Sirah.) Hess Collection has offered to host this tasting. As you may know, they've got an art collection that is world class... so, the environment of art is also part of the plan, in a very subliminal way. The process of tasting is going to include music, with my past PR world being in this genre... I see the tie in, and am delighted that my tasting panel has agreed to my experiment. I know it's going to offer a different perspective. I'll be blogging about it in January, and am really looking forward to this story that is currently in the making. Music…
