Aaron Parks « Nemesis » 2008

The Steinway piano strained notes, the rhythmic game hit, the serious and addictive electric guitar riffs give off a spirited melody of male sensuality, in the image of the delicious sensations of the wine. The combination of vibra-phonic keys chasing the orchestration soaring and progressive, come point out the complexity of fragrance coupled with the affriandante palatability of this delicate Chablis. The apple in the oven goes rather well!

Selected track:

Elmore Judd « Happy bass caravan » 2007

 

The cool sensuality of the male voice accompanied by a powerful funky bass, keyboards synths to the melodic drawings scattered and aquatic from a perennial slammed rhythm, agree to the lust of this specific wine, whose seductive olfactory legs unsheathed leather and spices, slip on the glass walls of the chalice. A delight on a filet of beef from Galicia!
