A newsletter from Kristen Lee Sergeant — jazz vocalist, songwriter, and sommelier. Each issue pairs a wine with a song, a feeling with a flavor, an idea with a listen. It arrives when there's something worth saying, which turns out to be fairly often.
For those who believe a great glass and a great song are the same kind of medicine — and that the world makes more sense with both.
