Vintage Vino & Vinyl: When Wine, Style, and Spin Collide
Last weekend at Resistance Wine Company, we set the time machine to the 1960s and let the vibes do the rest. What was supposed to be a laid-back night of wine and records turned into a full-on, full-volume, full-fabulous fashion-meets-vino throwdown.
Yes, there was wine. Yes, there was vinyl. And yes, a fashion show erupted. We didn’t plan it — but Resistance doesn’t follow the script anyway.
The Spin Masters
Chris McKean curated the evening’s soundtrack with a playlist so on point it could’ve been pressed on wax right there. Soulful, bold, irreverent — like our wine, but with more guitar solos.
Then came Kelly Ross, who took to the turntables and made it look way too easy. With every flip of a record and flick of the wrist, she had people dancing, swaying, and air-guitaring in places usually reserved for “wine swirl and sniff.” She turned a tasting room into a time capsule and somehow made nostalgia feel fresh.
The Wines That Wore the Crown
Three wines showed up with no intention of playing it cool:
- Collab — crisp, golden, and as stylish as a vintage typewriter in a leather satchel.
- Wingman — always got your back, especially when paired with a vinyl deep cut and a mischievous grin.
- Resistance Rosé — beachy, bold, and effortlessly charming — like if the summer of love wore a crown of hibiscus.
Together, they weren’t just poured — they performed.
The Couch, But Make It Symbolic
Yes, that patio couch. The temporary one. The one that looks like it time-traveled from a mid-century Palm Springs pool party. It’s not just a piece of outdoor furniture — it’s a declaration: the new Resistance patio is coming. And in the meantime? People lounged, laughed, and lived their best lives on what may be the most accidentally iconic placeholder furniture in Ashland.
A Fashion Show Walked In and Took Over
Somewhere between a Sam Cooke groove and a sip of rosé, a fashion show spontaneously combusted. Fringe jackets. Mod sunglasses. Someone in boots that made the floor tremble. It was as if the 60s crawled out of the speakers, grabbed a glass, and said, “We’re staying awhile.”
Resistance, Unfiltered
Vintage Vino & Vinyl wasn’t just a party — it was a perfect storm of curated chaos. The kind of night where music and wine collide in just the right frequency to make people loosen their shoulders, lift their glasses, and live fully in the moment.
What’s Next?
The patio’s almost here. The records are still spinning. And the wine’s not going anywhere.
So come sip with us. Groove with us. Lounge awkwardly on iconic outdoor furniture with us. Because at Resistance, the only rule is: be exactly who you are, just with better wine.
