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!
Bought this in 2014, how we managed to hold it this long is beyond me... Didn't pay the price in the picture, wish I had though.
Nose has dirty honey, dried orange peel, very over-ripe tangerine and dried citrus.
Palate has orange honey, dried honeysuckle, dehydrated orange peel, partially dried orange, very dry lychee and faint rose petal.
Just a fantastic bottle, with a fully intact cork! Happy birthday for sure! — 6 years ago
Loved this wine. I dont usually favor pinot gris, but really enjoyed this one. A little fruit forward but not sweet. I cant have beer , so drank with boiled crawfish. It was great! — 6 years ago

I have fond memories of Michel-Schlumberger - my first Sonoma trip! My wife had a work event there. The scenery was beautiful, the wine amazing. Got a winery tour and took a Riedel glass class. That ruined me - totally bought into the right glass/right wine theory. I now have 8 different glasses. The trip and that night were transformative and turned me into the snob I am today.
The wine is silky smooth. Fruit and spice-filled nose, showing blackberry, currant, baking spice, chocolate, and cedar. Lovely. — 8 years ago

Глубокий янтарно-золотой цвет. Ботритис, красный апельсин, абрикосовый конфитюр, земляника, мёд, чай, жёлтая роза, шиповник, шалфей. Полное тело, гармоничная кислотность. Уравновешенное, красивое вино с акцентом на округлую фруктовость. Сейчас находится в очень приятной фазе развития, но держать можно ещё долго. — 10 years ago
This should be their Cab Sav. Nice mouth feel, dry, with dark fruit and a little tobacco. Gift from my SIL for Christmas. Enjoying with a nice spicy taco soup and some football. — 6 years ago
Had with grilled lamb and roasted cauliflower in VT — 6 years ago
Complex and top-notch but very sweet. Needed some really spicy food, less enjoyable on its own. Hard to believe this was pitched to me as sec / Demi-sec — 7 years ago
Aging beautifully. — 8 years ago
