We LOVE the love for Broadway! You know a favorite show soundtrack is the perfect accompaniment with dinner prep, spring cleaning, afternoon chores, and more…. We’re always happy to belt out some showtunes. We put our heads together to imagine the perfect pairing for A FEW of our favorite shows. Taste them with us and see if you agree, and if you’ve got some ideas for others, we’d love to hear them!
Pair Hadestown with Chronic Cellars Sir Real Cabernet Sauvignon ($17). Just look at that label – king of the underworld, for REAL! We love this wine because it is tannic, but balanced with bold fruit and always punches above its weight. And Hadestown? What an exceptional show! The story, the music, the feelings! Grab a few bottles and give this a listen, because we’re gonna sing it again and again.
Pair Moulin Rouge with Château Barouillet Splash ($22), a French sparkling wine made with Semillon. A love story between a courtesan and a young writer, filled with excitement that builds to the last splash calls for a wine with as much natural life and buzz. This pet-nat differs from Champagne as it finishes fermenting in the bottle and calls for no added sugar… and you know not all love stories have a sweet ending. Still, love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love…. And a bottle of Splash!
Pair Hamilton with Teleda Orgo Dila-O ($16), a dry amber wine from Georgia made with two local grapes, Rkatsiteli and Mtsvane, and fermented and aged in underground qvevri – the traditional method dating back to 6000 BC. Afterall, if you’re listening to a modern retelling of history, a modern traditional orange wine pairs beautifully. Macerated on the skins, this natural wine is beautiful and interesting, just like our favorite contemporary retelling of our founding fathers. Be sure to track down a bottle ASAP because history has its eyes on you.
