Terroir is a wine term typically associated with soil, climate, aspect to the Sun, and sometimes grade of the sloop of a wine growing area. To sommelier Manuel Gonzales of Horizon Beverage, terroir also refers to the mindset behind musicians all over the world and the generations of shared human experience that inspires their art. This spring, Gonzales teams up with artist Ruby Rose Fox for a groundbreaking, sensory evening that will amplify the connections between our sense of taste and sound, through the unlikely pairing of their two shared interests: wine and live music.
Join them as they tap into the practice of mindfulness to highlight the science behind taste and sound through specially designed wine and tea tastings paired with live performances from artists across the nation. Take a deep breath, allow your taste buds to come to life, and experience the diverse sounds and stories of artists in a revolutionary and intoxicating new way.
Please note: Full lineup of artists to be announced. Registrants will receive a suggested list of wines to purchase ahead of the event via email. This event is intended for audiences 21+. Featuring a non-alcoholic option of tea pairings for each performance as well.

Manuel Gonzales started his path in wine studies in the late 1990s when his passion for classical guitar lead him to Boston to continue his independent studies. Here he worked in the restaurant scene and first fell in love with the wines of Sancerre whose citric aromas reminded him of the lime trees that grew in his Grandmother’s home of Hermosillo, Mexico. From here his career lead him deeper into restaurant culture where he cultivated several award winning beverage programs always with a leaning towards the wines of Classical Europe and cocktail creation.
