Oh hell controversial but these days I'm digging Bordeaux whites over Sancerre---gasp! Whose savvy b wins?! This has all the grapefruit, the lemon, the Meyer lemon going STRONG! And then a hint of stones (maybe not as much as a Loire wine). But also the body you get into from the Semillon. Light in color. It FEELS light on the palate but it tastes complex and interesting. I'm surmising the Semillon fortifies the body. I dunno. I'm into the Graves blancs. They have the things I want in a Sancerre to be sure. I mean I've not compared side by side especially with price factoring in. All I have to say is this is a "please do it". You will get a boatload of citrus and mineral plus some waxy body so it will go with your full bodied artichoke and/or..whatever you need a super-acidic but full bodied white to go with...anyway I say hop in. Puh-lease. — 8 years ago

This is the Gamay de Beauregard @Delectable Wine
Lifting aromas of bright and alluring berry fruit. Insane levels of spice, loam, flowers, alpine, clean minerals, really floral and really mineral with a thick berry fruit as well. Unreal aromas. So layered and deep. Some hints of mulch and potting soil. Be $50+ in Côte d’Or. Palate has terrific energy and depth. Unreal mineralIty and freshness. Terrific inner mouth florals and so juicy. God level juicy then finishes with lovely tanginess and minerality. Unreal purity of fruit and so sappy. This is as good as natural Savoie gamay is gonna get. Super expressive wine of terroir and great fruit. No dirty poop. Great wine. — 5 years ago
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 here 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! — 6 years ago

This 50/50 Syrah-Grenache is a terrific value. Intensely stony, mineral nose shows some roasted green herbs and tiny, very dark berry fruit. Savory and minerally in the mouth, it’s lighter on its feet than the saturated color and mineral profile suggest, with an orange zest note in the clingy finish. And only 13.5%, to boot! — 5 years ago
