If you’ve ever visited a winery during crush, you will know that winemakers are often a music-lovin’ bunch. Nothing like rocking out in the cellar, particularly with all of the fantastic echo-y acoustics one often finds in a cold, concrete/metallic environment. That being said, here is a 25-song playlist that could play an integral role over the course of Kiona’s 2010 vintage!
1. All Shook Up – Elvis Presley
2. Tossin’ and Turnin’ – Bobby Lewis
3. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp – Led Zeppelin
4. Come Together – Beatles
5. End of the Road – Eddie Vedder (One of Kiona’s estate vineyards is called ‘Ranch at the End of the Road’)
6. Have a Drink on Me – AC/DC
7. I Heard it Through the Grapevine – CCR
8. I Like Dirt – Red Hot Chili Peppers
9. Jewel of the Summertime – Audioslave
10. Lovin’, Touchin’, Squeezin’ – Journey
11. Sweetest Thing – U2
12. Breathe – Alexi Murdoch
13. Jigsaw Falling Into Place – Radiohead
14. Joy to the World – Three Dog Night
15. Peace of Mind – Boston
16. The Scientist – Coldplay
17. Trampled Under Foot – Led Zeppelin
18. Water of Love – Dire Straits
19. You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb – Spoon
20. Like That – Black Eyed Peas
21. Summer’s End – Foo Fighters
22. That Smell – Lynyrd Skynyrd
Three Song Bonus Set:
23. Red Mountain Wine – Gib Guilbeau (Not my cup of tea, but how could I not include it?)
24. Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta – Geto Boys
25. We are the Champions – Queen (Mandatory finishing song!)
What other songs should be on this list? Leave ‘em in the comment section below!
Red Red Wine – by UB40. (Thought it was by Bob Marley but I guess that is a common error)
Wow, what a glaring oversight! Thank you David!
Bon Jovi – Livin’ on a prayer
Sometimes that’s what it feels like…
You could fill the entire set list with 80′s ACDC and Van Halen I’d make wine for you all day!
Josh
Head-Banger Blend, anybody?
Blood Red Wine by the Stones.
Red Wine by Woodie Guthrie.
Paul Anka did one a long time ago but I forget the name.
And I bet there’s a hundred more.
I think the one by Paul Anka you’re talking about is “Bring the Wine.”
I just found a site called http://www.wineintro.com. There really are 100 songs about wine. Look at the quote section, too. Now get back to crush.
Other Songs to Consider:
“A Whiter Shade of Pale” – Procol Harem
“Purple Haze” – Jimi Hendrix
“White Lightning and Wine” – Heart
“Vintage Wine” – The Moody Blues
“La Vie En Rose” – Louis Armstrong
(okay, I know Louis Armstrong isn’t a rocking tune, but it is SO classy, you have to hit airplay with it)
And my mandatory finishing song is “Song2″ – Blur….Wooo Whoooo!!!!
I got my head checked by a jumbo jet!
Spill the Wine by Eric Burden and the War.
Glad to see an old guy like me recognizes a few songs.
Say hi to the folks from your friends in NH.
Will do. Thank you Bill!
How about some updated songs:
Raindrops keep fallin’ on my grapes.
I hate a rainy night.
And there must be more……
I think I was inspired more the whole process of growing grapes and making wine than just by the final product:
I’m a Believer — The Monkees (or the Smash Mouth cover)
Tequila — The Champs (you need an open mind, right?)
Bad Moon Rising — CCR
After Midnight — Eric Clapton
Dreaming — Blondie
Heavy Fuel — Dire Straits
Heart and Soul — Huey Lewis
What a Fool Believes — The Doobie Brothers
In the Midnight Hour — Wilson Pickett
