Remi Krug likes to describe his superlative champagnes in terms of music (the Grande Cuvee NV is a symphony, the vintages concertos). He's not alone. Fionnuala Hunt, leader of the Irish Chamber Orchestra - profiled in this column last summer - compares different styles of wine to appropriate pieces of music in a weekly slot on Lyric FM's Lyric Notes, starting next Friday morning. In early October, she'll no doubt be harvesting some new parallels, for the Irish Chamber Orchestra is off to perform in the celebrated Barossa International Music Festival - right in the heartland of full-blooded Australian Shiraz.
