Every wine contains its own unique emotion.
Vinisthesia captures a wine’s emotion and character in a tiny piece of music that lasts just as long as the taste of one sip, creating a multi-sensory experience.
Growing up in the heart of Oregon wine country, musician Forest Mountain Lion found he could hear the taste of each wine and play them as a flourishing cascade of notes on the piano. Rushing highs, trembling lows, and the tension of harmony, dissonance, and rhythm at the heart of a good wine’s originality. Thus, Vinisthesia was born, from the Italian word vini, for wines, and the rare phenomenon of synesthesia, where two or more of the five senses meld into one.
Vinisthesia featured on OPB’s Think Out Loud!
Vinisthesia was featured on an episode of the popular OPB radio program Think Out Loud called “What is synesthesia and how does it work? Oregonians weigh in” featuring a panel of synesthetes and an expert on synesthesia. Hear a live Vinisthesia sound signature composition at the 22 minute mark.

“A well-paired sound signature with a sip of wine will not just be an awakening experience — it will liberate the flavors and undertones already present in that good glass of vino.”
