Playlist’s Song Pairing:
Tom Petty, an iconic figure in the world of rock, penned 'Runnin’ Down A Dream' as a chronicle of his journey in the music industry. The song was a collaborative effort with the Heartbreakers, Petty's long-time band, marking a significant milestone in their discography.
"Runnin’ Down A Dream" and Vin de Sofa are cut from the same rebellious cloth. As Petty's rock vibes shake the room, let the cherry and raspberry notes of Vin de Sofa join the jam. These lyrics, "It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down / I had the radio on, I was drivin'..." capture the essence of this wine - a bottle that, like Petty's anthem, toasts to life's beautiful moments and audacious dreams.
