Music at Tanglewood
Is there a better pairing? I know its one of my favorite combinations. I have a passion for both and both make life just a little bit better. Music and wine are great on there own, but together the results can be sublime. I don’t play an instrument or make wine, but I have great respect for those that do.
This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Tanglewood Food and Wine Classic in the heart of the Berkshire Mountains. Tanglewood is an estate and music venue in Lenox, Massachusetts and it has been the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s summer home since 1937.
The TFWC is the brain child of Denis and Susan Toner and one of my favorite events of the year (the other is The Nantucket Wine Fest, also started by Denis). The setting is beautiful and I get to do what I love, talk about wine, meet great people, eat good food and listen to music.
One great thing about this venue is you can watch and listen to the musicians practice and prepare for the evening concert. After the tasting event my wife and I found a soft patch of grass and listen to the BSO with a bottle of Michel-Schlumberger Pinot Blanc. Music and wine certainly help to make a great afternoon and memory.
