Playlist’s Song Pairing:
The Blend was released during a time when Ninja Tune and their unique roster of artists were just starting to hit their stride. This track is where The Herbaliser first introduces female lyricist What What, whose gravity-defying flow highlights the track.
With its late-night jazz vibe and steady drum loop, this music is the ideal complement to a night in with Chinese take-out and a chilled bottle of Kung Fu Girl Riesling!

Charles Smith is the quintessential Playlist winemaker - a lover of both wine and music. He spent nearly a decade touring Europe as a rock band manager before returning to Seattle, Washington where he started his wine journey by opening a wine shop. But it wasn’t long before he started experimenting with creating wines, and two decades later House of Smith is the largest independent and winemaker-owned winery in Washington State with wines sold in all 50 states and 23 countries worldwide.
The Kung Fu Girl Riesling is a surprising little treat with an even better origin story. One evening while eating Chinese takeout and watching a fight scene in a martial arts film he came up with the idea to create a killer little white wine designed to pair with Asian food. And just like that, Kung Fu Girl was born!
