There’s a fair bit of disagreement about this album but not the wines, they are terrific. Is The Seldom Seen Kid by Elbow a romantic testament to love, a bag of sickly sweet love poems or pretentious artsy guff? You be the judge, when you listen to the Wine & Vinyl Club. 

To match The Seldom Seen Kid, Christian brings an Italian white. The 2021 San Marzano Timo Vermentino. An elegant, refreshing and mineral wine with delicate white floral aromas combined with notes of thyme. https://sanmarzano.wine/

While Chris brings a fantastic medium bodied red from Chile. The 2020 Casillero del Diablo, Reserva Privada Carmenere from the Rapel Valley. https://www.casillerodeldiablo.com/wine/reserva-privada-carmenere/
