Inner Circle - The People of Classical Music.

Paul has a PhD in Physics and is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America.  He is one of the few people in the world who can enjoy music from both aesthetic and mathematical perspectives. We catch Paul talking in a "hot mike" moment, about a remarkable sound sensing unit, the human ear. The sound quality isn't ideal, which maybe is a little ironic considering the speaker and the topic. We thank all the Inner Space musicians for their contributions to this bonus episode. 

Dr. Paul Hines a Professional Sommelier designation (with honours) and is a  member of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers (CAPS).  He holds postgraduate certifications as a French Wine Scholar (highest  honours) from the Wine Scholar Guild, and as an Italian Wines Specialist  (distinction) from the North American Sommelier Association. 

Paul also has a PhD in Physics and is a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America.  Paul combined his passion for wine and music to pair wines for each of the Inner Space Concerts this season. Katelyn speaks with Paul about his process for pairing of wines with music and a number of other interesting topics.
