ABG Tunes - Five Spotify Playlists to Get You through Life's Twists and Turns
Slow Wine. Paris Wine. Prowein. Vinitaly. Vinexpo.
Luggage zippers heave and car doors slam as many in the wine industry start the annual Wine Fair business itinerary.
It can be a loud and hectic time, so this week, we are pleased to share a new series of ABG Spotify playlists, designed to bring a little sanity to your every day.
Our newest offering has been compiled over the last two years over many days and weeks of lockdown, travel delays, at home yoga practice and self-made coping mechanisms.
Inspired by a childhood nurtured by a heavy '70s diet of blues, hard rock and emerging musicians, more than 50 hours of music are compiled across five playlists to help you navigate life with a little toe-tapping, booty-shaking, system-clearing vibe.
Check them out and Follow away!
ABG Travel: A touch of sanity for those road-warrior days.
Step away from the anxiety of travel and into soothing smooth grooves with this playlist. Artists Her and Rhye sashay with Ray LaMontagne and Miguel for a R'n'B mood. Perfect for airport delays, long layovers, and even longer lines at the coffee kiosk.
ABG Shake it Out: Move it, clear it, and shake off that energy.
A frustration-busting playlist designed for those times you just gotta get it OUT. From Aussie rockers, Wolfmother and AC/DC, to The Foo Fighters and Faithless, this mix should help you to shake it off. Best served on noise cancelling headphones, and at volume LOUD. Perfect for those relentless and late month-end inventory counts.
ABG Fresh Start Motivate: Upbeat tracks to get up and GO!
For the days you need a little pep in your step, here's some groovin, jazzy, club vibes. Bob Moses and Alex Cortiz ride alongside Maribou State and Sia to put a positive vibe in your upbeat tunes. Serve pre-service or to kick off your morning sales route commute.
ABG Snooze: Smooth voices and soothing sounds to bring on the zzz's.
Insomnia is REAL, and here we bring you more than seven hours of instrumental tracks to help soothe frayed nerves and calm overstimulated nervous systems. Perfect served with bedtime snuggles, eye masks and a quiet room.
ABG Yoga Inspiration: Chill, move mindfully, or take a breath.
For those mornings when you need to get the creaky bones moving, or motivation to roll out the mat and get those sun salutations in. Krishna Das and Jai Jagdeesh nestle up alongside DJ Drez, Sol Rising and East Forest for a dreamy, slow vibe.
BONUS PLAYLISTS:
During the early months of COVID, Napa Valley Yoga Center teacher, and all 'round superstar wine leader, Elizabeth Van Emst, led a series of at-home yoga classes for the ABG community. She was kind enough to create special playlists so that our community across the world could connect through one track. Now THAT'S a gift to community!

The playlists have been tested, reviewed, and approved by our in-house music critic - Marshall Jones (age 10). On hearing the ABG Shake it Off Playlist, Marshall remarked, "I really like the music. Some of the songs I knew, and a lot I didn't. But it was all fun to listen to."
So take Marshall's advice and check them out!
Let the music play,
