Brahms was not only a gifted composer but also a wine connoisseur.

After a taste, Brahms snorted, "Well then, how about opening a bottle of Bach." Hear colorful tales about Beethoven, Handel and Haydn, Schubert and Schumann, Mozart and Musorgsky. Discover how the grape inspired some to great heights, and brought down others. Enjoy sampling many of the same style wines that were their favorites.
