What kind of angels? Seraphim? Cherubim? Arch?
Makes a difference.
Well, cherubim, in the Bible, are usually angels guarding some form of the presence of God. There's one that guards the entrance to the Garden of Eden after humans are expelled, another associated with the ark of the covenant. And, of course, later they are connected with baby angels. Neither seems likely.
The archangels generally seem to be killing things, wrestling with things, being the highest order of angels.
Raphael does what might be called heralding in Paradise Lost, but he doesn't sing. And of course angels are involved in telling Mary what is happening to her, but also not by singing. I think that's just in Christmas carols.
The seraphim are the ones that circle the altar of God, singing Holy, Holy, Holy, so they are the best bet. I'm guessing, though, that that song gets monotonous (see Dudley Moore in Bedazzled), so if they were the ones who were singing, it might be a sign that the wine was monolithic and spoofed (I am tempted to say, like the Judeo-Christian god).
When wine sings for me in angelic tones, its usually the Vienna Boys Choir singing You Can't Always Get What You Want.
Indeed, we come to the same conclusion: seraphim, yes. Singing archangels? Seems out of character to me; those guys are action heroes, not choirboys.

If you're on the West Coast, it will be.

The angelic voice I got was a Gordon Lightfoot parody by Moxy Fruvous. Hopefully the wine will do better. Time to start scraping wax...
Don't scrape. Pull through.

I know they're tasty, Brad, but there's a strong compulsion to hoard Marcel's last effort.

Didn't Kushner write a play about angels? I don't remember anything about wine in that play. I think it was longer than War & Peace and it never mentioned wine at all. What I'm worried about now is that if Kane likes it, it will contain more than a dollop of rs and I own some.

You'd have to go back a few years for that. When I was on a work with with Mathieu three or four years ago, he mentioned that he took over winemaking duties with I think the '06s. Might've been the'05s.

From Wiki: Kushner's best known work is Angels in America (a play in two parts: Millennium Approaches and Perestroika), a seven-hour epic about the AIDS epidemic in Reagan-era New York, which was later adapted into a miniseries for which Kushner wrote the screenplay.
No wonder you preferred War & Peace.

I was tempted to snort 1995 Montus through my nose when I read this. The mind boggles.

I gave it some air, which I find to be a good idea with Lapierre in general. Unfortunately, it was a thermonuclear brett bomb.
KAAAAAANE!
Descombes VV was not ready but a delicious substitute regardless.

Bizarre. I haven't gotten any Brett from the dozen or so '09 Lapierres I've opened so far.
Too many Mormon characters.originally posted by Lou Kessler:

If you are quoting Wiki, it suggests that you haven't seen it. You should go as far out of your way as required to remedy that.originally posted by Oswaldo Costa:

+1; even the TV miniseries is good

What Zack said: Even the TV version will give you some idea of what a riveting, unforgettable show it is.
I never saw "Angels in America" in the theater but the TV version (HBO, directed by Mike Nichols, starring (among others) Mary-Louise Parker, Patrick Wilson, Meryl Streep and the incomparable Justin Kirk (ever see his explanation of self-gratification to his nephew on "Weeds"? Brilliant!), is one of the most outstanding things ever to be broadcast on American television.

Maureen is right.
And don't forget Al Pacino's Roy Cohn. Villainy was rarely so compelling. And I did see both originals on Broadway.

Yes.
However the play is still better, at least with the original NYC cast.
Despite the fact that I can't recall anyone drinking wine either. Like sfJoe I blame the Mormons.
