Playlist’s Song Pairing:
In 2019, Olivia Colman, the celebrated actor, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, the Fleabag creator and star, collaborated on a cover of Portishead's "Glory Box" for BBC's Children in Need: Got It Covered charity compilation. Waller-Bridge and her sister, Isobel, strummed their ukuleles, while Colman showcased her impressive vocal skills. The outcome? A charming, understated performance that perfectly captures the essence of the song.
We paired these two because Parts & Labor is also an unassuming gem - a delightful red that's low on pretension and high on taste.
Folk Machine’s
Parts & Labor
Source: Hobo Wine Company
Region: California, USA
Vintage: 2021
Grapes: Grenache, Carignane, Syrah
Color: Red
Hobo Wine Company came to life 18 years ago with just two barrels of Zinfandel and a self proclaimed lack of knowledge on how the wine world works. Fast forward nearly two decades and today they operate eight brands, one of which is Folk Machine.
The Folk Machine red blend, Parts & Labor, is made up of a number of California “parts” - including Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Barbera. Meant to embody the California version of a French bistro wine, this wine is fun and easy to drink, and great with pretty much anything you put on the table!
