Winyl: Between the Crackle and the Pop
Winyl is a 30-minute podcast about wine and music that lives between the crackle of a vinyl record and the pop of an emancipated cork. It is a show about pairings, the perfect wine for the right record, or the perfect record for the right wine. It is an opportunity for winemakers, chefs and mixologists to discuss their favorite albums and for musicians to discuss their favorite wines. It is an interview show that goes where the muse, the music, the libation and the conversation takes it.
When host Anthony Bozza got a hold of a
Paolo Colla Barolo (his favorite version of his favorite grape, Nebbiolo) from his birth year, 1971, he decided to play his top records from that same year, on vinyl, while drinking it. When he heard "Dead Flowers," off of the Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers and realized that the song perfectly encapsulated the tasting notes of the wine, at that moment, Winyl was born.
Anthony is known for his success as a music journalist, biographer and celebrity co-writer, and lesser known for his interest in all things food and wine. His travels have taken him around the country and the world, where he has always found friends and kindred spirits in the fine dining community. Winyl is where his two worlds come together. He will talk about music with people who usually talk about wine, and talk about wine with people who usually talk about music. All of them, like Anthony, passionately care about both.
