Join Jonathan Cain of Journey, legendary rock band, The Who’s charity, Teen Cancer America, and Wine Insiders for a fun and engaging virtual wine tasting with special guests singing your favorite Journey songs written by Jonathan Cain!
We will be tasting 4 wines. You can choose to purchase a 4-pack (one of each wine being tasted) 8-pack (2 of each wine - one for the tasting and one to enjoy later) or a 12-pack (2 of each wine plus 4 other bonus wines chosen by our sommeliers). All wines are discounted for Sip & Sing and proceeds from the wines go directly to Teen Cancer America - the more you order, the more difference we make! Wine Insiders delivers in 1-3 business days. All shipping and delivery alerts come directly from them. Wine must be ordered by 5/10 @ 1 p.m. PT if you’d like to receive it before the event.
In addition to the above 4 wines and as a special treat, winemaker Dennis De La Montanya will be joining Jonathan to talk about their wine collaboration and are offering an exclusive charity bundle of 2 wines from their Sonoma Estate – a 2018 Finale and the 2019 Finale Rose from their private collection. These are sold separately and can be added below to taste along with Jonathan and Dennis during the event.
Your wine purchase automatically registers you for Sip & Sing. You will receive notifications and the event link on how to log into this virtual party!
We are excited for an evening of wine tasting with professional sommeliers and to watch performances of Journey’s hits by Jonathan Cain and friends, as well as a message from our founder, Roger Daltrey.

Meet Our Wines
These four wines have been hand-selected out of 100 bottles from the premier wineries around the globe for this virtual tasting.
2020 Terra Sara Verdejo
Spain
2020 Terra Sara Verdejo is a fresh, versatile white wine from one of Spain’s most renowned wine regions. Dry and light to medium-bodied, this Verdejo has a pleasant approachable character. Aromas of apple, citrus, and fresh herbs carry into a lively palate displaying peach, melon, and lime notes. The finish is marked by thirst-quenching acidity and a splash of tangerine.

2020 Marquis de Bacalon Bordeaux Blanc
France
Only a tiny percentage of wines from Bordeaux are white, making this lovely French sipper quite rare. A quick whiff evokes a summer day, as a fantastically fresh bouquet of white peaches and delicate florals emerge from the glass. Lively notes of lime and exotic fruits come in on the palate, which is deliciously fruity and easygoing. Expect a crisp, clean finish.

2018 Sierra Trails Old Vine Zinfandel
California
Our 2018 Sierra Trails Zinfandel comes from some of the oldest vines in California. These vines produce fewer grapes, but the grapes are more concentrated, which helps bring out the full flavors of the grapes. This Zinfandel features complex aromas of ripe berries and red currant. Its palate is light in acidity but full in body with rich flavors of plum and undertones of oak and tobacco.

2019 Château Tour Neuve Côtes de Bourg Bordeaux Rouge
France
2019 Château Tour Neuve Côtes de Bourg Bordeaux Rouge is a Gold Medal-winning Bordeaux beauty. This red blend hails from an appellation within Bordeaux with historical ties to the Romans. Uncork this medium to full-bodied wine to reveal a beautiful ruby color with purple reflections in the glass. The nose is dominated by roasted and smoked notes, due to the wine’s oak-aging. Dark fruit flavors, along with hints of chocolate and earth, are accompanied by balanced tannins.
