The company was founded, as so many are, as kind of a side gig. I was working full-time in a technology company but I was also curious about bringing my background in music together with my growing love of wine. I wasn’t in love with how wine was taught, and I wasn’t in love with how classical music was marketed so I wondered if I could take the idea of a “flight” of wine and apply it to music. That’s how the idea of “tasting the music” was born.
The color orange heralds a change of seasons in much of the world. This month we’re unlocking the energy, power, and play of our five senses through all things orange: wine, cheese, chocolate, and music! We often associate the color orange with feelings of vibrance, enthusiasm, and energy, and we definitely feel those positive vibes when we pop open a bottle of orange wine!
This month, we’re featuring three canned wine companies you need to know about – and that we can’t live without – as well as cheese and chocolate pairings, and, of course, a playlist of smash-hit singles to accompany your canned wine journey!
June is upon us which means The Longest Day of the Year is here as well! We thought: why not Pre-Pair wines with a deliciously long finish, cheese and sweet treats that leave you wanting more, and an extra long playlist to keep those summer soirées going until sundown?! Our June 2022 Pre-Paired is all about the long finish!

Each month, we'll be sharing our favorite go-tos, some new must-haves, and a few things off the beaten path, all from small businesses - often women, minority, or family-owned - with a keen eye for flavor and detail. And because we do everything with our five senses in mind, we add a playlist that feeds the mind, heart, and soul, bringing everything together in perfect harmony.
Some people think rosé is just for the summer months just as we hear that bubbly is best at New Year’s Eve. I beg to differ, and especially for those of us who live in temperate climates, we already know the secret: you can drink bubbles and rosé any time of the year!
Travel, to me, is the great un-doer. It undoes all that is known to us. It asks us to free ourselves from the familiar, the usual, the rote. It asks us to trust that where we are and what we are experiencing will enrich us but only if we allow ourselves to be so enriched.
It was the start of my life here, and is certainly one of the most elegant “firsts” I’ve ever had the privilege of experiencing.
Our environment shapes our perception and our experience, and our sensory preferences. Here at Five Senses Tastings we explore that in depth.
