Alternative Rock & Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir is known as the “heartbreak grape” after all, so it naturally fits into the whole Indie/Alternative/Emo scene. Thin-skinned and temperamental, the grape can’t hold its emotions back in the glass, with great examples providing a balance of lively fruit and savoury, earthy breakdown. Indeed, this seems a fitting metaphor for both life and music. Yet when Pinot Noir truly sings, it can really tug at both taste buds and heartstrings. So, open a bottle and pour a glass—and crank out the tunes.
