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.

“Long time friends Koley O’Brien and Joe Spargur founded A B & The Sea January 1st, 2008--not only marking the start of a new year, but a new journey. They packed up their van, waved goodbye to Wisconsin and started making their way to California. After going through a line-up change, A B & The Sea was made complete again with the addition of drummer Troy Lawton, bass player Zak LaVigne and David Hunt on keys. While they’re new to San Francisco, the boys have shared the stage with such notable acts as: FUN, The Fruit Bats, The Submarines, The Morning Benders, Dear & The Headlights and The Miniature Tigers. Often referred to as a modern day Beach Boys meets The Beatles, A B & The Sea’s beachy, carefree vibes have landed them gigs at many prominent SF venues such as The Independent, Slims, Bimbos & Bottom of the Hill. With a contagious hunger for success, A B & The Sea captured the attention of Chris Chu (The Morning Benders) and Eric Frederic (Wallpaper) & produced new songs at legendary Different Fur Studio in San Francisco.”
