[Dixielandjazz] WINE and JAZZ

[Janie McCue Lynch]

Hi, Ginny--

The Australian Shiraz is, indeed, pretty darn drinkable. 

If you happen to be in California and plan on going to the Pismo Jazz
Festival (Jubilee By the Sea) towards the end of October, take a moment
either before or after the festival (not during!) and drive up the grade
towards Paso Robles.  Stop at Wild Horse Winery in Templeton and check out
some of the best Rhones around....their Syrah, Negrette and Viognier are
marvelous. 

In my mind, Pismo and Jazz and good Wines all go together.....The only
slight damper on the experience this year will be that the ShoreCliff has
chosen not to be a venue.  In past years, sipping a glass of wine by the
tent at the Shorecliff, watching the ocean, and listening to that great
music...it just doesn't get much better than that.  

My Best, 

Jane Lynch

At least one person here in the Heartland is usually choosing Australian  
Shiraz these days.....  And shiraz goes quite  well 
with feelings of gratitude to the French, much of Europe, and yes,
Australia, 
etc. -- all those spots elsewhere that kept the love of jazz alive  .......
