Life is a Cabernet

If you had told me 15 years ago that I’d start a vineyard and have a gold-medal Cabernet, I would have shook my head and said “you’re crazy”. But crazy things happen, and so do little miracles for which I am thankful. I’ve always loved Cabernet Sauvignon wine. In fact, I’ve collected Cabernet in my own private cellar since the mid-70s when I started learning about wine. I adore its flavor and texture and so when I decided to grow some grapes, naturally it was going to be Cab. What else… so my life truly is a Cabernet.

Comparing the characters of a great wine to a great woman is really nothing new; people have been thinking that way for hundreds of years. But, I've never really heard it done like this in a song which made it a cool challenge, lyrically. I find it interesting and quite legitimate that wine connoiseurs use terms like "great legs" when it comes to a wine's viscosity and shape. The terms mix well with the romance of wine and well deserved.

View Lyrics

Life is a Cabernet

Pour me a memory, that makes me think of you
Love in a wine glass, delicious and true
Yes, she can be a lady, ooh such a sexy thing
Nirvana in the night-time, man she can make you sing,
and give you wings…

Oooh, Life is a Cabernet
Oooh, Love is a Cabernet

You can drink her now, she tastes so berry fine
Or you can lay her down, but her love will take some time
The magic & the mystery, just look at those legs… warm long legs
Perfect nose and color, she’s my midnight lover, Cabernet

Oooh, Life is a Cabernet, you never know what she will bring
Oooh, (my) Love is a Cabernet
…. she’s a mystery…
The taste of licorice cherry, each time you kiss my lips
Warm with hints of chocolate, …I crave another sip
Mmmm, give her time, let that baby breathe, she makes me believe
If loving you’s a crime, lock me up; and throw the key

Oooh, Life is a Cabernet, you never know what she will bring
Oooh, Love is a Cabernet… repeat

Behind the Music

I love the guitar tracks that Huff came up with. It has great texture and groove and it inspired us to write a strong melody and lyric. Singing this song takes a lot of supportive air; it's a fun challenge; it never lets up on you so you have to keep breathing strong as you go in order to pull it off. The lyric is something I totally understand since I live it on a daily basis, so it’s quite real to me.

Behind the Video

This was a fun video for me to be in. I got to sit at my studio recording console which is where I record 99% of my vocals, so it felt real comfortable being there. Bob Cusick filmed me and edited the song with its storyline.
