So Beau over at Basic Juice has been doing this wine and art pairing, pretty cool. (Thanks again for my amazon.com prize. It was a tough choice, books or 40’s). So I saw this most amazingly, achingly, perfectly haunting and composed picture worth at least 3000 extra words on boingboing.net:

And I thought, what song goes with this photograph?

Nine Inch Nails, “Right Where It Belongs” from With Teeth - “What if all the world around you…wasn’t quite as it seems…”

Now, what wine goes with this photograph?

L’Alleu Sere 2004 Monsant Red - From Spain, 30 minutes outside barcelona, 85% Garnacha and 15% Carinena–this 28 year old did time as assistant winemaker in the much poo-pooed Capcanes co-op. An organic winery that produces some of the most elegant wines in this mui macho area, I like this red for the aromatic and vibrant RED, cranberry-laced fruit and the soft grit of its tannins. In a very modern area, where it’s all too easy to extract insanely sugared juice, ferment high-octane syrup, and stick it in American oak to charge $25 and up, up, up–this wine is one of my new crushes. Available through Beaune Imports.

Plus, Sere means I was in Spanish, and I can’t think of a more succinct title for the above photograph.
