“A few years ago, when I was writing songs for my first album, I was staying with Michael Feinstein as I often did. I was working on a pilot. My grandma was very sick at the time. She died of complications from alcoholism. She always used to say [in his grandma's voice], "Red wine is good for my heart. That's what my doctor said." And we'd say, "Yeah, but not for breakfast." Unfortunately, it was the thing that killed her. I felt inspired to write a song about her and what that meant for her life and for all of us. I was writing it in Michael's house.” WritingYearsFirstsHeartSaidUsedSongHouseFeltVoiceMy HeartRedYears AgoDoctorsSickDiedYeahWineInspiredAlbumsStayingBreakfastPilotsAlcoholismGrandmaWriting SongsComplicationMy GrandmaRed Wine Author:Cheyenne Jackson
