5 Musicians Who Own Wineries
Red carpet to red wine.
1. Boz Scaggs (Scaggs Vineyard, Napa Valley, California). Scaggs—whose hits include “Lowdown” and“Lido Shuffle”—and his wife Dominique have been offering wines since 2000.
2. Sting (Il Palagio, Tuscany, Italy). The British singer and his wife bought a rundown Italian estate in 1999 and now produce four varietals, including a recently released Sangiovese blend.
4. Kix Brooks (Arrington Wineries, Nashville, Tennessee). The country singer/songwriter—best known as half of Brooks & Dunn—produces excellent Viogniers, a dry, medium-bodied wine.
5.Train (Save Me, San Francisco Wines, California). The San Francisco-based band founded a wine company named after their hit album. Proceeds from wine sales charity, according to Jimmy Stafford, the band’s “lead wine explorer.”
