TANGENTIALLY RELATED MUSIC to listen to in anticipation of this wine:

DRINK IT FROM/WITH (conventional option):
Likely white glasses. Extensive, extensive food pairings listed in the full specifications. Like, whew.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
Naturally, out of these. Second Iron Maiden drinkware I’ve recommended, even.
