RIO/Avant would be a weird tasting wine, people would barely know what it is. An experimental wine.

How about Masato? It's made by chewing yuca and spitting it into a bucket to ferment.

Actually, I'm OK with some of it.  I like The Cellar and Point.  It was me who recommended them for addition to PA.  I also like Pikapika Teart.  It's a start...

Yes! Perfect choice.  I deleted Indo/Raga from my list because I could not come up with anything. Thanks for that.

The idea some people have of the RIO/Avant subgenre is rather funny. While there undoubtedly are bands and solo artists that fit the stereotype of "weird and dissonant", many of the acts you will find under that umbrella can be very melodic - though, obviously, not in the same way your typical Neo band would be.

My comment was with a wink; I am fully aware there are some very melodic albums there.

Here's a winery in VA that pairs their wines with music...

“Notaviva was founded on the vision of providing customers an opportunity to heighten their enjoyment of wine by inspiring them to consider the correlation between music, their emotions and their sensory perception,” says CEO and wine composer, Stephen Mackey. “This phenomenon of pairing wine and music is based in a field of cognitive neuroscience known as crossmodal correspondence. Your sense of smell and taste are influence by your other sensory stimuli, such as sight and sound. By leveraging AR technologies, our goal is to give the customer additional sensory input—through music and visuals—into what their wine consumption experience might be like while they are considering purchasing a sealed bottle of wine. Once they have purchased the bottle, we then provide them with additional context through playlists and custom-programmed radio stations that they can then enjoy with that bottle.”

Have you tried 'Stinking Bishop'?? That's definitely a cheese with a 'character' (and quite possibly a few life-forms in it too); It is washed with Perry cider which eventually builds up a.. um.. flavoursome and aromatic rind.. ''Stinking Bishop is an award-winning, washed-rind cheese produced since 1994 by Charles Martell and Son at Hunts Court Farm, Dymock, Gloucestershire, in the south west of England''LOL

I make my own 'Country wines' and have for years... when I was much younger I made a very acceptable Blackberry and Magic mushroom wine... which I guess would probably equate with 'Acid/Wyrd Folk!Wink

An eye-opening view on the cheesiness of RIO/Avant Tongue. And maggots were fresh in the heyday of acid/wyrd folk.

Honestly, all music for me, is a "wine", since I can not drink other than water and maybe a small diet coke now and then. But I think this might be so since most wines in America are simply colored water compared to the real thing in Europe, which has not succumbed to the world marked of quantities that America produces, which have killed vintages and possible options of variety as Europe is known for.

If the OP had stated "beer" for America, I would think it would be a much more interesting article. But wine, for me, is much more of an European thing than anything else ... I just do not think there is a good enough American wine worth drinking with my dinner! Most of it is all advertising and sales ... not wine!

C'mon ... wine with a hamburger and fries?

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Europe produces nearly 6 times more wine than the US...

Biggest wine producers in 2016 (in million hectoliters) according to OIV statistics:
  • Italy, 48.8 Mhl.
  • France, 41.9 Mhl.
  • Spain, 37.8 Mhl.
  • USA, 22.5 Mhl.
  • Australia, 12.5 Mhl.
  • China, 11.5 Mhl.
  • Chile, 10.1 Mhl.
  • South Africa, 9.1 Mhl.
