AN EXCLUSIVE WINE + JAZZ LIFESTYLE MEMBERSHIP

I’ve spent my life making music. My husband Eric has spent his life managing iconic wineries. We already had dream jobs, but we wanted to share our passions in a more personal way.

A few years ago we sat down with a bottle of wine (or possibly 2 to 3) and detailed what our perfect life would look like. We knew that we loved to travel, I loved playing music, Eric loved sharing his passion for wine… and we wanted to be together always.

So, we combined our passions and started WINEandJAZZ.com, a special endeavor that invites you to experience and share in this extraordinary life we have together.

We hope you love the pairing of wine and music as much as we do.

Cheers! - Mindi Abair
