Christmas Songs and Wine Pairing
There are some songs you will listen in the same period of time every year, when the music started to play, you will be in the festive mood. It's Christmas songs, what else?
如果你打算播放的聖誕歌是傳統爵士樂，例如Ella Fitzgerald或Nat King Cole的主唱的，必須找同樣帶有溫暖感的酒款，例如南隆河的Chateauneuf-du-Pape，或南澳Barossa Valley Shiraz。這些帶有香料氣息的葡萄酒，能夠在口腔散發出暖意。
If you fancy traditional jazz vocalists such as Ella Fitzgerald or Nat King Cole, try to pair the wines which give you the same warm feelings, Chateauneuf-du-Pape from southern Rhone Valley or Barossa Valley Shiraz from South Australia are your obvious choices. The spiciness of them will warm your palate as well as your soul.
If your favourite artists are Mariah Carey or Justin Bieber, you better prepare a bottle of Champagne or Napa Valley Chardonnay. These cheesy Christmas songs are more lively and upbeat, just like the bubbles of Champagne jumping in your mouth, or the roundness of the oaky Chardonnay with a hint of freshness.
Try this marriage of music and wine, and make your Christmas party sparkle.
