For those of us who work hard we know the value of playing even harder. Enter the ultimate indulgence……..the Wine and Jazz Experience. Proprietors, smooth jazz fans and wine lovers, Mike and Cindy Nordskog, have found a winning combination by pairing smooth jazz with the finest wines delivered to your door (home or office) every two months. To celebrate the pairing, the Nordskog’s also produce Wine and Jazz Autograph Sessions for each new release. These give smooth jazz fans the rare chance to meet and talk with the artists in a relaxed and fun atmosphere and taste wine.

In just 18-months, this new company has carved out a unique niche in the smooth jazz industry with their first 10 wine and jazz packages:
