Hello VC,
My name is Alexander, and I have long been a fan of this content in this corner of the internet. Now I am trying to give back in the form of lessons from a sommelier (and wine distributor) and will attempt to break down the walls of wine and other beverages as well as sharing my incessant love for music. Follow me on my journey collecting music and bottles from all around the world.

Vinyl Gifts From Japan
Hello Vinyl Community,
I had dinner with some old friends, last week, and they presented me with some gifts from their respective journeys to Japan. Spoiler alert it was nearly all records. A big thank you to these brothers for the very generous presents. Record shopping in Japan must be difficult but they scored huge.
A little wine too. I had a bottle open from the legendary M&S Bouchet 'Le Sylphe' 2011 Cabernet Franc. This wine hails from the Loire, in old vines (nearly 80 years old at the time), presenting some beautiful red fruits, tea, graphite and tobacco notes.
Thanks for watching.
Cheers,
Alexander

Birthday Vinyl Finds

Hey VC, I am back from a trip(s) to Ohio, Kentucky and Oregon for birthday treasure hunt and some Bourbon and Beyond. I might've struck out in Kentucky, but wait until you see what I found in Oregon! Also, a little birthday wine too, with a great bottle of Cru Beaujolais from Jean-Marc Burgaud. From the village of Morgon, one of ten cru villages, that produces outstanding wines of Gamay.

Best Vinyl Finds of 2024... So Far

Hey VC, As promised from my last video, this is a video where I steer away from the rare value finds and pony up some real money (in some cases), for some true gems. There is a couple Jazz grails, new indie rock and some others that I have been after. Been a pretty good year so far despite having to sleep in the doghouse after making the video. ; ) Also, a link to some great channels: www.youtu...

Prestigious Vinyl Finds, Power Pop and Sauvignon Blanc, Oh My
Просмотров 21911 месяцев назад
Hey Hey VC, I'm back with some recent finds from the great Prestige label and one non-jazz record which has me enthralled. The second part is breaking down another international grape Sauvignon Blanc. From Sancerre to New Zealand this wine offers a lot for a little. The grape is perfect for fall. #vinylcommunity #recordcollecting #jazz #sauvignonblanc #winetips #prestige #vinylfinds
Thrift Store Jackpot
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.Год назад
Hello Friends, Found an incredible collection of music at a thrift store in the Los Angeles area, from promo copies to a really rare jazz label. One of the best finds I have stumbled across recently. No wine in today's episode, but the question of the day is what was your best find in the wild (thrift to yard sale, or maybe the dollar bin at your record store)? Let me know in the comments. Than...
Treasure Hunting on the 101

A recent drive from Los Angeles to the Oregon Coast on the highway 101, with many stops fishing for records along the way. Found some awesome music between proper shops to antique stores. Also, we dive into the noblest of noble grapes Chardonnay. The queen of all varietals for her versatility and many styles of the grape you thought you knew. Give it a chance, or another look, because I was tol...

Wax n Wine #6: United Artist Jazz Records, Indie & Summer Wine
Просмотров 226Год назад
My 6th video features one of the most important indie bands first works (that I found locally), a Peel Session 45rpm of another banger, and an excellent duo of jazz records from United Artists that I found in MI. So only four records, missed my fifth don't hold it against me. For wine I discuss rosé as we are fully into summer. Going over a brief origin story, how it's made and what to expect a...

Wax n Wine 3 - Five More Finds & Bordeaux 'n Burgers on the menu
Dude - ditch the shrink! Great thrift finds!
Thanks, I get lucky thrifting! I have some weird attachment to preservation--can't get rid of it.
Hey Alexander. Just don’t watch videos with the frequency I used to, but still try to catch up with folks when I can. Happy belated Bornday! A finds video filled with heat. Very cool Thad Jones score. The Hazelwood has a gorgeous cover. That Alice is the one I’m still missing any pressing of. What a find! All that said, I think the Blue Nile is the best score of the bunch. But that’s just me. Always great to get some impromptu live music in as well. I miss those days of fly-by-night traveling. Great video. Cheers ✌🏻
All these records look like they belong in a gallery. Those seem to be some great finds.
Everything was NM and packed with care from Japan! Pretty lucky guy.
Why are you doing this?
Happy late Birthday! Glad you had a great one! Nice memorable finds. God bless
Thank you! I appreciate you watching. Feeling pretty good with these and didn't break open the wallet too wide.
Good finds. Antique stores around here are really hit/miss (mostly miss), but you did okay. Too bad you missed Shake It!
I will file Shake It under unfinished business. Thanks for watching. Luckily, I will be going back to Cincinatti again.
Good evening Alexander. Thanks for sharing your appreciation for wine. Your appreciation passed down to us is appreciated. Thad Jones and the Blue Nile. Fantastic listens. I am not familiar with that Alice Coltrane release. Journey in Satchidananda and Ptah, the El Daoud are the only two that I know and own. But naturally I will check out her second album "Huntington Ashram Monastery" thanks to you~ Rob/Boston
Thank you, Rob! I am a sommelier and wine sales guy for my day / night jobs so thought I would share some nuggets. Most people who aren't interested can skip ahead. That Alice Coltrane record is more like Satchidananda so I am sure you will enjoy it. The Blue Nile was / is a special band. Very happy with it. Thank you for watching!
Those $3 finds tho! epic!
Right!?! Thanks--a lot of misses at antique stores but every once in a while.
happy birthday, that thad jones looks awesome, congrats!
Thank you! Yeah, the birthday month treated me right!
Great video! That Herbie Mann album is fantastic. Hah. Loved your line about your GF saying you looked like a caged animal, 'cause I know that feeling when you see records like that. Something Else is a great album! I'm new to the VC. Posted my first video about 4 weeks ago. Cheers
Thanks for watching. Yeah, it was rare to come up on that much music at a thrift and so I reacted in kind. Will check out your videos post travels.
Wow, congrats, dude! Basra is a huge pick up!! I’m a big proponent of trading. I like to keep things pretty small around here, so I always develop a stack for trading, and I’ll usually take it in whenever there’s some more expensive stuff that I’m after. It’s great! Cheers!
I love that! I am no into the trading as well. Thanks for commenting and watching.
Looks like you turned lemons into lemonade since getting rid of 100 records is no small feat. Well done, sir.
It felt good. I got lucky and probably gonna do it again.
Happy Birthday Alexander my birthday is today that Pete Laroca is a monstrous addition congratulations big time .
Mine is actually the 19th, but that is amazing we are both September babies!!! And it was nice to have an old co-worker even remember. Hope you found some gold for your day, and I excited about your next vinyl finds video.
@@wax_n_wine yes The Virgos rule brother 🤜🤜🍻Happy Early Birthday
Happy birthday my dude
Thank you, Jimmy! Happy Birthday to you (16th right)?!
Hey Alexander - love the channel. I have a strong overlap in music, but also found some new stuff through you (Local Natives) - so thanks. Let me know if you would ever be interested in doing a co-video. I could do a beer and you do a wine. Take it easy.
Nice mix of titles! Went and streamed Ducks Ltd - gonna pick them up. Very jealous of the Soul Samba record - mine is a so so repress
Thank you for watching and commenting. That Soul Samba was long sought after and sounds great! Happy you liked Ducks Ltd--I spin my copies often.
Good evening Alex. I remember when John started his channel. I have met a lot of fellow collectors/friends in the last fourteen years in the VC. It is always a pleasure meeting another. You showed some fine artists. I thought you scored on the Bowie Mofi. Good to see you listening to some Jorge too. Nice jazz grabs. Charles Tyler is brilliant on Albert Ayler's "Bells". Looking forward to seeing more. Way to go~ Rob/Boston
Thank you, Rob! Appreciate you watching my content. Will try to stream Bells. Jorge Ben has been one of my favorites this year.
Great stuff man. Enjoy your take on the channel, wax and wine reviews, brilliant. Prices in LA are all over the place. Looking forward to more of your vids. Subbed. God bless
Thank you for the kind words. Yeah, we are a beautiful mess in Los Angeles. There is a lot of value here too. Thank you for the follow!
Alexander wow nice finds that Gigi Gryce is a smokin’ record I wish he would of kept recording. That Cure pressing is the best of that album IMO. That Mofi Bowie sounds so good marvelous finds man so far I really dug it have a great week man.
Thank you kindly. Got lucky on the MOFI, just found it out there on ebay and the auction stayed low. Gigi Gryce is so hard to come by and yes I agree. His arc was just beginning, and it appears he was content to slip away into academia. I just found a really cool book on him I will be diving into shortly too.
Nice Bowie goodwill find and Disintegration is a gem.
The Cure record is everything I could've asked for... happy to add it. I got lucky on the bowie. Thanks for watching!
Hi Alexander. Ive met John a few times most recently in London a few weeks ago .. we’re hoping to go over to the Netherlands to the den Bosch record show in 2025 together.. thanks for your kind words I agree with your real estate connection. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks, Rob. That will be an amazing record show if you make it. Thanks for watching.
Wow cool Goodwill and thrift finds in Cali. I thought there were no deals left to be had especially in LA. The Rush and De La Soul can’t be too common in thrift stores even in Cali. Rasputin is funky! Dang Nas for 2.99. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman
Thank you! No, those are definitely highlights. Not common at all. The prices are creeping up everywhere but some diamonds slip through the cracks. Thanks for watching!
I like Local Natives also. Hey it’s time to post another vid! 🙏 Looking forward to it.
Great Video.....NEED SOME WINE!!!!...or BEER! The Booze Geek!
You are still the man!! And "Fly By Night" kicks some serious ass!! Fly by night, Away from here..........The Booze Geek!
Sometimes a record calls to you.
Let's hope!
Weird, my copy of Wish You Were Here has the EXACT SAME smoutch in the exact same spot.
My 2016 repress didn't have that... didn't even know that was a thing. Either way, I am happy with the music. Thanks for watching.
My local thrift store has the dollar shelves one dollar… They do not know what they have… I have literally tripled my collection of mint or near mint records a buck at a time… Literally, I am there waiting in a lineup on Mondays to scour the new Vinyl… Great video! Thanks
That is the fun of it. Especially when the prices of used vinyl are climbing so fast, it is nice to have some dependable thrift stores to help ease the pain.
De La Soul is a stellar find!!
i have 2 other charles earland records, he is a good musician!
good jazz finds man,!!!
The luckiest I have ever been. Still chasing that feeling with frequent trips and never getting close.
@@wax_n_wine i have at least 3 Kai winding records, his music is good
Rob sent me, I understand maybe he was in his zone. I'll do a little chit chatting with people but I usually am all business.
some good jazz albums you shown, alexander! i heard you mentioned on RG!
Thanks! That was kind of him.
@@wax_n_wine you bet!
Also here by Rob's recommendation. Very cool finds, although I prefer more squawks in my jazz!
To each, their own. Thanks for watching!
The Waxed sent me! I have subscribed!
Love the Dr Octagon. I have the European version on Mo'Wax Records. Worst live show I've ever seen though 😅
Don't have a lot of live hip hop experience to speak of, so will take your word. Still really enjoy listening to that record.
Sent by The Waxed...which means you may want to block me...I kidd 🙂
Rob sent me to sub ya. Take care
That is very kind. Thank you!
Welcome, looking forward to your videos, Rob sent me.
Waxed was mean to me at Erewon on Beverly once too.
Very specific LA reference--great and expensive grocer. Haha. Thanks for watching and envious of your Instagram for the store.
Nice score on the ESQUIRE score. Lots of these Prestige catalogue UK pressings were RVG stamped
Just learned that and was pleasantly surprised by the pick up.
@@wax_n_wineGreat pressing and built like tanks!!!
Hello from 🇳🇴 Come to Norway for fish , fresh air and beautiful girls 😊 Rob & Rachel send me here 🎉
The Waxed was right!....This channel is FIRE!!
Ahaha I get it. Thanks for watching though.
Some great records! So glad The Waxed recommended you to me.
Greatings from the VCUK - Do you happen to know who Jimmy Barnes is?
Subbed up, a tall gentleman from muscle beach sent me. go dodgers!
Dodgers are stacked You guys are gonna have a fun season watching the beatdowns.
Waxed sent me to. Wine & Records. Nice mix...
Alright now, yes I’m much nicer than Waxed but he’s not a bad guy, once you get used to the smell of a giant you’ll see how friendly one can be. They have different sensibilities than normal sized people.. but they do love jazz … good guy to have around when the next new jazz title pops up on a top shelf somewhere 😉 I’m out here come to Louisville ✊🏼
Ps I like that Rollins plays for bird😺
I guess I made it too obvious. Hahaha thanks for watching.
Rob the Waxed recommended your channel over on the RG show. I was going to give you a hard time (all in good fun) and then I saw some Guy Clark records. You now have instant credibility with me. Enjoy the VC, our bark is worse than our bite. Take care Elliott
Thank you very much! Yeah, made it a little too obvious.
Robs The Man !!They told Me
No beef with Rob, just tried to start music talk in a section and moved along. Can't wait to thank him when I see him at Atomic or Amoeba next time.
