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.

When our friends in Foreigner asked us to be part of this year’s Painted Turtle Benefit, we jumped at the chance! As Karl would say, “good food, good wine, good music, good people”.

We recruited DWDM’er Francis Ten to come pour with us

A bonus prize for me was getting to see old friend Kelly Hansen, & watching him kill it on Foreigner faves. Hot Blooded, indeed!

In addition to these pix, good pal Lina Lecaro documents all in her LA Weekly column & slideshow

WILD THING I think I LOVE You

Karen O, 826LA, Where the Wild Things Are, Spike Jonze, IMEEM, Opening Ceremony

Posted by heidirichman on Oct 01, 2009

Film adaptations of favorite books can be a dicey proposition...we have a feeling that Spike Jonze & co have done Maurice Sendak (& our childhood memories) proud with their labor of love bringing Where The Wild Things Are to the big screen. We will get to find out first-hand when we join our literacy advocacy pals 826LA in hosting a special advance screening & afterparty tonight in Hollywood

For a taste: Where The Wild Things Are Trailer

IMEEM is exclusively streaming the entire Karen O penned soundtrack  Check it out here

With Halloween around the corner, you can even put a high-fashion spin on Max & the wild crew: Opening Ceremony’s collaboration with Spike Jonze
