Wente Vineyards Presents
Karl's Artist Bio

Thanks for exploring "Discover the Wine, Discover The Music." If you're reading this, it's likely that you, like me, love fine wine and great music. Both are extraordinary complements to the moments in life that we cherish the most--reflection, celebration, creation and inspiration. I've put some of my thoughts down, as a winemaker and a musician, on why I believe these songs and wines are especially well-suited for each other. Of course, I encourage you to mix and match to discover your own personal favorites.

Good Food, Good Wine, Good Music, Good People: Tonight we get to practice what we preach-- all that was missing at Aquarium Drunkard’s Decade in Review soiree tonight at Origami Vinyl in LA was the GOOD WINE. Problem solved! Join us for our first ever “Pop-Up Pour”! We will be pouring each of the six wines currently in DWDM. Is West Indian Girl really a Riesling? The Hold Steady a Cab Sav? We want to hear YOUR wine/music pairings, but you must be 21+, natch, to taste.

Ever wondered what would happen if The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn got to bust out his storytelling chops long-form? You might not have to wait too long. The Hollywood Reporter’s Risky Business blog reports that Craig & “Late Show With David Letterman” writer Tom Ruprecht bought the rights to Chuck Klosterman’s rockin’ coming-of-age memoir “Fargo Rock City”.

Sez Craig: “Seventeen or eighteen is the perfect age for characters in a movie like this, because it’s at that age that you have drivers licenses and a certain amount of independence, but you’re still young enough that you can totally make terrible decisions, and you’re still young enough that you can have a two-hour argument over whether Motley Crue would beat Guns ‘N Roses in a fight.”

No stranger to Letterman, check out this genius clip with Andy Kindler:
