Hosted by former Rolling Stone staff writer and New York Times Bestselling author Anthony Bozza, Winyl is where wine meets music. In each episode, a life-changing record chosen by our guest is paired with a wine chosen by our host. Offbeat, educational, and candid, Winyl is wine and music education wrapped in offbeat, witty, and illuminating banter. Recorded live in our studio inside Sauced wine bar in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Winyl features guests involved in the arts or food and beverage world, all of whom share our passion for music, wine, and creativity.
S2 E3: Anand Wilder of Yeasayer discusses his solo career and Beck's Mellow Gold
In the final episode of our capsule collection with the wonderful folks at Sauced Wine Bar, Anthony sits down with one of his favorite Brooklyn musicians, Anand Wilder, co-founder of Yeasayer and a gifted multi instrumentalist singer-songwriter. The two discuss the dissolution of Yeasayer, Anand’s incredible first solo record I Don’t Know My Words, the heyday of 2000’s Brooklyn, the hard to navigate popularity of natural wine and one of Anand’s favorite records, Mellow Gold by Beck. We found a perfect pairing for the asynchronous funk of Beck’s major label debut in Fallen Grape Wine Company’s debut The Mother, a honey-colored blend of Grenache, Riesling and Semillon from a promising new label out of the Santa Ynez Valley in Central California.

S2 E2: Lyricist Bill Augustin talks Into the Woods and adapting But I'm a Cheerleader
In this episode, Anthony sits down with lyricist Bill Augustin, whose 2005 musical adaptation of the Y2K queer film classic But I'm a Cheerleader took London's West End by storm when it was revived in 2022. The two discuss the unparalleled brilliance of musical theater legend Stephen Sondheim and the beloved original cast recording of Into the Woods. The play has two very distinct acts, one ethereal and light and one menacing and crepuscular so it only seemed fitting to pair the album with two wines. The first is a rosé by Schrammel, an unfiltered pet-nat by the eponymous husband and wife micro-producer, and the second, Tzum Feis, a syrah-predominant Oregon field blend by winemaker Nate Ready of Hiyu wines.
Guest: Bill Augustin
