Eternal Wine Press Release

Austin, TX – Austin-based singer-songwriter Karima Santi, recipient of the City of Austin’s 2024 Live Music Fund grant, will release her new single “Eternal Wine” on June 13, 2025. To celebrate, she’s partnering with C.L. Butaud Winery and Nordic Pulse Presents for an intimate wine-and-music event on Saturday, June 14, from 5–7 pm at the C.L. Butaud Tasting Room on 415 E St. Elmo Rd.

Building on the success of her 2024 EP Queen of Regret—produced by Frenchie Smith and supported by radio play on KUTX, KZSM, and KROX—Santi self-produced “Eternal Wine” with local session talent Scott Strickland (lead guitar) and Wayne Duncan (drums). The single is a classic breakup ballad captured in the lyric “I loved you like we’d never die, I drank you like Eternal Wine,” and marks her evolution as both writer and producer.

At the June 14 event, Santi and her three-piece band will perform “Eternal Wine” alongside preview tracks from her forthcoming album Royale (due late 2025), including several songs making their live debut. Wine tastings of C.L. Butaud’s Texas-made selections will be available all day from 1–8 pm.
