Why do some of our wines have musical names? The stock answer: They were named while we were sitting at our two oldest children's Cornell Symphonic Band Concert. Yes, we attending band concerts until 2 of our children were 22 years old!
Bailey Hall at Cornell was being renovated, so the concert was held at Ithaca College. Ithaca is known for its music program. So, as we are sitting together before the concert, we started throwing names around for Cherry wines. Cherry Concerto came out, and a trend was born.
Naming our wines is sometimes that simple!
With musically inclined children, you'd think they'd have a musically inclined mother. After all, their grandmother attended Music and Art High School in NYC for music. However, unfortunately, I am the musically declined one in the family. As my family likes to joke: What's the similarity between Mom giving a speech and singing? She doesn't use notes for either one!
But at least their talent gave us some great wine names.
Na zdrovye!
