The GRAMMY Museum launched its dynamic, official streaming service, COLLECTION:live in 2020. Now, you can enjoy exclusive, exquisite wine while enjoying stunning footage from music’s past and present.

In partnership with the Geyserville, California winery Trattore Farms, GRAMMY Museum offers an exceptional vintage in commemoration of COLLECTION:live’s launch. If you order by March 5, your shipment is guaranteed to arrive before the 63rd GRAMMY Awards, which airs on March 14.

The first wine is a beautiful 100 percent Zinfandel grown and produced in Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County. It opens with a bouquet of cranberry, ripe strawberries and hints of persimmon, complemented by flavors of boysenberry and allspice. This wine is a rich, deep color with a silky smooth and opulent finish. It pairs well with charcuterie, beef bourguignon, pasta with meatballs, pizza and tacos, to name a few. Click here to order the COLLECTION:live Zinfandel.

The second is an elegant and luscious Rhone white wine that is 100 percent Roussanne. It opens with Asian pear and honeydew aromatics on the nose. On the palate is citrus, honeycomb and butterscotch with a subtle vanilla and baking spice finish. Enjoy this wine with pâté, creamy cheeses, lobster with butter, chicken piccata or Indian and Thai foods with green and yellow curries. We love this with lemon desserts, too! Click here to order the COLLECTION:live Roussanne.

What was GRAMMY Museum board chair Tim Bucher’s vision for these wines? "I wanted to create two special wines representing the special terroir of my estate vineyards that would benefit the incredible work of the GRAMMY Museum," he tells GRAMMY.com.

"Wine is like music in that it tugs on our deepest sensory systems and brings out a unique passion in people," he continues. "Which is why I felt this wine/music combo would be a perfect fit for supporters of the GRAMMY Museum and music appreciators everywhere!"

The GRAMMY Museum today (Feb. 4) announced a new "Live From The Vault" series in partnership with Iron Mountain Entertainment Services (IMES), a division of Iron Mountain Incorporated, the storage and information management services company. Since 2008, the GRAMMY Museum has curated more than 80 exhibits, hosted more than 1,000 programs and captured more than 2,000 hours of archived video footage. As the Official Preservation Partner of the GRAMMY Museum, IMES has stored the Museum's most prized physical artifacts in a climate-controlled vault and will now store, manage and distribute its video archives using Iron Mountain's secure digital content repository technology platform.

The GRAMMY Museum and IMES will curate specific archived videos as part of a new series, "Live From The Vault," which takes fans inside the vaults of some of the Museum's most iconic programs, showcasing rarely seen footage. Mavis Staples will be the first artist featured from her 2010 program in the Museum's Clive Davis Theater, released starting today on the Museum's official streaming service, COLLECTION:live, with free access to all viewers. To further increase accessibility, the Museum will utilize Iron Mountain's Content Localization Services (CLaaS) system to transcribe the Museum's archives into other target languages, including subtitles.

"As we've seen in the past year, it's vital for museums to increase their digital presence and the GRAMMY Museum has been doing just that," GRAMMY Museum President Michael Sticka said in a statement. "We're thrilled to partner with IMES for our new 'Live From The Vault' series to preserve these important recordings and moments in music history from our archives."

This series will also include a previously recorded program with Ringo Starr, which will be released on March 4 on COLLECTION:live. Additional artists and special programming will be announced soon.

"Our mission is to help our customers protect and activate their archives," Lance Podell, Senior Vice President and General Manager, IMES at Iron Mountain, said. "Our long relationship with the GRAMMY Museum is rooted in this shared dedication to preserve musical history. We're proud to be the Museum's Official Preservation Partner to help safeguard their diverse treasure trove and propel it into the streaming age, featuring dynamic artist interviews and performances. We're excited about sponsoring the 'Live From The Vault' series and its debut episode with musical pioneer Mavis Staples—what a privilege it is to hear in her own words how her upbringing and social justice convictions inspired her music."
