They used to play excerpts from one on the very missed XM station cocktail lounge. And the Beastie Boys used a sample on their Check Your Head cd? I have an album called "On Wine: How to Select and Serve," Columbia Special Products CSP 151, probably late 60s/early 70s judging from the photo and layout. Side 1 is instructional, with a couple who sound like they've just arrived on earth asking a "wine expert" everything short of how to tie their shoes. Side 2 is run of the mill light classics. Curiously, the cover mentions "Vol. 1" in tiny print; no idea if subsequent volumes actually followed or not. That Beasties sample may have come from this LP, but I can't confirm it unless I do a side by side comparison.
