Episode 4: Leon by Leon Bridges

Episode 8: Llueve, Frontera, and Sea by Jorge Drexler

In this episode of A Bottle and a Vinyl, Enett and Marco sit down to discuss three vinyl records by an artist they admire for his poetic lyrics, philosophical ideas, and musings that often feel rooted in transcendental or deeply reflective experiences. The artist is Uruguayan singer and songwriter Jorge Drexler, and his albums Llueve, Frontera, and Sea explore themes of romantic introspection, migration, and intimacy through musical styles that range from acoustic guitar and folk roots to groove-based arrangements. The hosts pair these three special albums with a bottle of Santa Rita 120 Carménère. The Carménère grape—once thought lost in Bordeaux and rediscovered in Chile—echoes Jorge Drexler's story of identity, movement, and cultural crossroads. Pour a glass, drop the needle, and join us as Enett and Marco explore the music of Jorge Drexler through the albums Llueve, Frontera, and Sea, paired with a bottle of Santa Rita 120 Carménère.

Episode 7: The Stranger by Billy Joel

Billy Joel's 1977 album, The Stranger, is an iconic recording that seems built around Joel's raconteur style. This collection of songs is a masterclass in songwriting. In the cinematic journey that is "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant", he gives his audience a window into the story of a couple who had it all, only to end up separated after some difficult trials. In the album, however, Joel is not only narrating the story of someone else - like in the aforementioned "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" and in the song "Moving Out (Anthony's Song)" - he also turns the lens on himself with the track "Vienna". Enett and Marco provide their insights on these songs in this episode. They also sample a bottle of white, a bottle of red and a bottle of rosé, exploring the memories, emotions and stories behind Billy Joel's most beloved album.
