Music and wine—two of life’s finest pleasures. With the Grammy Awards just around the corner, we couldn’t resist pairing this year’s Album of the Year nominees with wines that perfectly match their vibe. Also, it was recently announced that proceeds from the Grammys will support relief efforts for those affected by the recent California fires.
So, whether you’re tuning in with a glass in hand or celebrating your favorite artist’s big win, here’s your guide to sipping like a star.
1. “New Blue Sun” by André 3000
Pairing: Cabernet Sauvignon
Just like André’s timeless creativity, this popular varietal balances depth and intrigue. Its earthy tones and bold fruit flavors hit all the right notes for a complex and inspiring listen. We recommend a bottle of Daou or Duckhorn.
2. “Cowboy Carter” by Beyoncé
Pairing: Sparkling Rosé
Beyoncé’s ode to the unexpected calls for a wine that’s as effervescent and versatile as she is. A sparkling rosé dazzles with boldness, elegance, and a touch of rebellious spirit. So put on Cowboy Carter and raise a glass of Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque Rose 2013!
3. “Short n’ Sweet” by Sabrina Carpenter
Pairing: Prosecco
Pop the cork on a bottle of Marca Prosecco NV. Fun, playful, and bursting with personality, this lightly sparkling Italian wine mirrors Sabrina’s charming album. Its refreshing sweetness will leave you smiling with every sip.
4. “Brat” by Charli XCX
Pairing: Sauvignon Blanc
In 2024, Charli claimed the boldness of acid green, calling for a wine that matches its vibrancy. With zesty green apple flavors and a chic, confident name, Chloe Wines Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is the perfect pairing.
5. “Djesse Vol. 4” by Jacob Collier
Pairing: Chardonnay
Jacob’s layered compositions demand a wine as dynamic and versatile as his music. A dry chardonnay with its vibrant acidity and complex flavors will harmonize beautifully. Try a bottle of Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros 2022.
6. “Hit Me Hard and Soft” by Billie Eilish
Pairing: Pinot Noir
This album’s emotional depth and haunting beauty align perfectly with a silky pinot noir. Its delicate balance of lightness and intensity mirrors Billie’s captivating artistry. From Sea and Sun to Flowers, our collection of pinot noir is sure to hit the spot.
7. “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess” by Chappell Roan
Pairing: Madeira
Sweet and nostalgic, Madeira’s rich flavors are a nod to Midwest baking traditions. Like grandma’s fruitcake, it’s bold, enduring, and full of heartfelt charm—perfect for Chappell’s storytelling. Henriques and Henriques Sercial 10 Year Old Madeira will surely satisfy your sweet tooth.
8. “The Tortured Poets Department” by Taylor Swift
Pairing: Red Blend
Taylor’s introspective lyrics and masterful storytelling call for a wine that’s as classic and layered as she is. A Bordeaux or Napa red blend delivers sophistication and complexity with every sip. Sip Apothic Red Blend 2021 for poetic vibes or Orin Swift Abstract Red 2022 for its namesake.
Raise a Glass to Greatness
As you enjoy the magic of music’s biggest night, let these pairings inspire your celebration. Whether you’re all about André’s jazz odyssey or Taylor’s diaristic style, there’s a wine for every album—and every mood.
Cheers to the artists, the awards, and the wines that make life extraordinary!
