Romance with Wine & Music
Vihuela Winery & Spanish guitar band ‘Incendio’ create a Wine & CD gift set that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day or any romantic celebration!

Vihuela is a boutique winery located in Paso Robles California that was born out of a passion for Old World Spanish guitar and New World Artisan wines.  In fact, the name Vihuela can be roughly translated as a Spanish Renaissance guitar. Incendio is a Spanish guitar band based in LA that fuses in Middle Eastern elements and a bohemian vibe.  One evening after a few drinks winemaker, Mike Vihuela, was so bold as to suggest to Incendio that they write a tribute song about his winery.  Incendio thought is was a great idea if only Vihuela would craft a wine after them…and the rest is history.  This unique package retails for $44.99 and is a great romantic gift for any wine enthusiast and/or Spanish music lover. 

 

Great wine, like the best music, is dependent on the fusion of pre-arranged and random events. The vintner, the grapes, the weather, the soil, the sun – some factors can be controlled, while others do not manifest until the end of the process.  Like jazz improvisation, the end result is a delicate balance of time-honored practice and split-second intuition.  Vihuela Winery has preserved the essence of the alchemical art of wine-making with their "Incendio" blend, inspired by their association with international recording artists Incendio, who are friends of the winery and  have performed there often. Pour yourself a glass, put on the special Vihuela-released trio CD, and travel around the world with Incendio.
