On the Lawn at Tanglewood this evening with the Boston Pops Orchestra. Our Pops conductor Keith Lockhart is leading a live-to-picture performance of Star Wars: A New Hope, a showing of the classic 1977 film, with the Orchestra performing Mr. Williams’ iconic score.
For live-to-picture productions, the orchestra performs the entire movie score in real time as the film unspools. (Vocals, dialogue and effects are isolated from the original music track.)
Generally we get to hear Star Wars scores a couple times per season here at Tanglewood, but tonight we get a chance to hear them with the backdrop of the movie (Episode IV) that launched a franchise, to say the least!
I celebrated another full trip around the sun, since my coming into this world, earlier this week. Tonight my wife, some dear friends and me will be enjoying some enticing wines along with our movie night. So notes...maybe, but I'll try!

Dried herbs and cranberry, gamey lamb wine. — 12 years ago
Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 10 months ago

YUM. This is exactly what I want in my Gamay - barely effervescent, a little funk and super juicy. #shouldhavebought2 — 8 years ago

Dry bitter terroir. Sharp acidic kick. Salted butter, melon & stone fruit, herb de Provence Excellent pair with the tasting menu — 10 years ago
Complex, beguiling aromas of white pear, honey, layers of almond meal, creme brûlée, custard. Terrific mouth watering acidity. Thanks Matt — 11 years ago

Never would have guessed a Bourgogne if tasted blind. Complex weighty nose of ripe red fruits and earthy notes and autumn leaves though palate a bit more acidic than expected. That profile carried through to finish. 16 years and still drinking well. Great with Amahs ribs — 5 years ago

This is an excellent modern-day entry level Cabernet Franc. Dazzlingly simple, yet awash with refreshing weight, dark fruit, Chinese spices, and a subtle dollop of black/green tea. If you are looking for something less obvious go back to red Burgundy. (This red straddles old world structure with new world gloss. I fear gloss will eventually win out. But for now...👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾) — 6 years ago
