I love football (American). I love to play it, I love to watch it, and I even love to just hold a football in my hand when I'm sitting around the house. But I don't love football enough to ever have this lamp in my place. I'm certain, however, that if I go to a swap meet that I'll see this lamp for sale. And that someone will be haggling for it. |via 7Gadgets | And who isn't glad to hear the end of the entire Brett Favre non-retirement fiasco in Green Bay?

From the BBC: Music 'can enhance wine taste' .
Playing a certain type of music can enhance the way wine tastes, research by psychologists suggests.
The Heriot Watt University study found people rated the change in taste by up to 60% depending on the melody heard.
The researchers said cabernet sauvignon was most affected by "powerful and heavy" music, and chardonnay by "zingy and refreshing" sounds.
Professor Adrian North said the study could lead retailers to put music recommendations on their wine bottles.

Mmmm, it does go well with the Jose Gonzalez
Playing a certain type of music can enhance the way wine tastes, research by psychologists suggests. The article says that Jimi Hendrix is good with a Cabernet, Blondie goes with Chardonnay, and that Jose Gonzalez is your man when you're drinking Merlot.

The news out of Great Britain that playing a certain type of music can enhance the way wine tastes rather begs the question: What's your favorite wine-drinking song?
No, it wouldn't be "Red, Red Wine" by UB40 (among others). Too obvious.
I think that for both content and song title, I'd have to go with Supper's Ready by Genesis (I know I'm datin' myself here, but me and my buds were quite the prog-rock fans back in the day … )
I'm tellin' ya, in the right context, that song could make Ripple taste like Lafite.

The results were put down to "cognitive priming theory", where the music sets up the brain to respond to the wine in a certain way.

Arts Journal has a link up, posted just today, about something I blogged about quite a while ago . Geesh. Maybe AJ needs me. Ya think? So sure, certain pieces can make wine taste better . Anyone who reads my site already knew that. So there.
I guess AJ doesn't read my blog and … well … how mind-boggling is that ?! (And how mind-boggling is it that I typed "mind-bloggling" first?)
What I want to know, though, is which wine will make the music sound better? Because if we can figure that out think of how our audiences might grow.

It's no secret that I am a reidel carrying member of the red wine fan club. Which is why I found this study quite interesting. It suggests that different types of music can enhance the flavor of wines.
The white wine was rated 40% more refreshing when "zingy" music was played, but only 26% more mellow and soft when music in that category was heard.
The red was altered 25% by mellow and fresh music, yet 60% by powerful and heavy music.
Some recommendations based on their study:

On another tack, I read this bit of news today: Music 'can enhance wine taste.' Apparently now music, too, can be paired with certain wines. Such as Hendrix with Cabernet Sauvignon, Tina Turner with a Chardonnay and Otis Redding with Merlot. Who'd a thunk it?
I wonder what The Dears would be paired with? I guess it would depend on the song, but I feel like we'd be a red, maybe a dark, Argentinian Malbec ? Nothing too light, definitely something you'd consume after dinner.

Enjoy Nouvelle Vauge's version of the Depeche Mode's classic "I Just Can't Get Enough" to a cool Chardonnay or a sweet Riesling. Or how about a nice Merlot while listening to Jose Gonzales's version of The Knife's jam, "Heartbeats". Or perhaps you'd like a 2 liter of Shaun Mondavi vintage tequila and 5-Alive and fish and seawater and those little marshmallows you put in cocoa while cry-singing Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes".
And today, at Shaun Mondavi wine place, we are committed to the best wine-ing techniques around.
