WINE TASTING: TRAVEL THROUGH ITALIA

2009-09-03T18:00:00.000-07:00

Trevisol Rosecco 2008 - 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Prosecco
550 CASES PRODUCED; From Paolo Trevisiol, maker of our ever-popular Prosecco, we proudly present his breathtaking sparkling rose', a light, effervescent delight that dances on the tongue with fresh berries, lively acidity, and gentle bubbles. Trevisiol's trademark minerals shine through, making this wine serious while being delightful. A fantastic value and gorgeous in the glass, it is a new seasonal staple brought to the US for the first time.

Marchetti Later Harvest Verdicchio 2008 - 100% Verdicchio
300 CASES PRODUCED; Maurizio Marchetti makes one of the finest Verdicchio Classico's we have ever laid our tastebuds on. So when he introduced us to his micro-production late harvest Verdicchio, we were immediately intrigued. Full-bodied and lush, this is not a sweet wine. It is off-dry, taking advantage of an extra month on the vine to develop greater body, structure, and fruit essence. It is deftly made, with lush fruits of pear and melon, and a touch honey complexion that retains beautiful acidity. A one of a kind wine from one of the great winemakers of Marche.

Marchetti Montepulciano 2006 - 100% Montepulciano
800 CASES PRODUCED; Famiglia Marchetti has been making wine in the Marche for over a century, and for at least 50 years, have produced one of the top Montepulciano (Rosso Conero) made anywhere. In our opinion, Montepulciano is Italy's greatest, most elegant expression of the grape. And few, if any, are making this wine better than Maurizio Marchetti. Known for his impeccable Verdicchio in the States, he is famous for his red Montepulcinao back home in Ancona. Laced with an intriguing smoky, cranberry spiciness and ripe plums, this is an everyday favorite for both sides of the Atlantic.

Poderi Elia Barbera d'Alba 2005 - 100% Barbera d'Alba
1300 CASES PRODUCED; From the village of Neive, comes Poderi Elia's classically styled Barbera d'Alba. Made with vines that are nearly 90 years old, the purity and confidence of the fruit are stunning.The freshly pressed cranberries on the nose are accentuated by lush, bright pomegranate. As always with the wines of Federico Stella, the tannins are very soft and integrated, always granular and unimposing: a blissful wine with poached Salmon.

The tasting will include light appetizers.

The $15 fee can be collected when you arrive. It's fine to arrive after 6:00 but probably no later than 7:00 to properly taste all the wines as the event ends at 8:00. Make a night of it and hang out with your friends while sipping your favorite new wines! Dinner and desserts are also available.

One that might surely make your list is from Pennautier which is very close to the medieval village of Carcassonne. Pennautier is a winery with strong ties to Louis XIII. Citrus, pear and fennel with minerality from limestone soils, it has a luxurious and silky mouth-feel. A real winner!

Imagine a summer beach vacation and then having to leave it-au revoir-for the rainy streets of Paris.Remember the little neighborhood we used to know,in Saint-Germain des Près, and how it will never be the same without you, or the ghost of lovers dancing, with light and love in their eyes. Or how about that driving tune that you just can’t get out of your head? Padam! It obsesses you, reminding you of all things forgotten. Do dead loves ever finish dying? How about dancing the Javanaise, as we love each other for the time of a song? L’amour. La danse. La musique.Each song tells a story, and Zéphyr creates a loungy sway, a decadent, relaxing soundlandscape incorporating gypsy, swing and bossa nova influences into their guitar-bassaccordian- piano-flute and French vocal combination.

FLAMENCO DANCE AND MUSIC

2009-04-04T19:30:00.000-07:00

Rafaela de Cadiz and Julia Pacheco
Flamenco is a Spanish term that refers both to a musical genre, known for its intricate rapid passages, and a dance genre characterized by its audible footwork. The origins of the term are unclear as the word also means Flemish or flamingo. The word Flamenco, which applies to the song, the dance and the guitar, did not come into use until the 19th century.
Flamenco embodies a complex musical and cultural tradition. Although considered part of the culture of Spain in general, flamenco actually originates from one region: Andalusia. However, other areas, mainly Extremadura and Murcia, have contributed to the development of several flamenco musical forms, and a great number of renowned flamenco artists have been born in other territories of the state. It is generally acknowledged that flamenco grew out of the unique interplay of native Arabic, Andalusian, Sephardic, and Gypsy cultures that existed in Andalusia prior to and after the Reconquest. Latin American and especially Cuban influences have also been important in shaping several flamenco musical forms. Flamenco is played with a flamenco guitar.
Once the seeds of flamenco were planted in Andalusia, it grew as a separate subculture, first centered in the provinces of Seville, Cádiz and part of Málaga-the area known as Baja Andalucía (Lower Andalusia)-but soon spreading to the rest of Andalusia, incorporating and transforming local folk music forms. As the popularity of flamenco extended to other areas, other local Spanish musical traditions (e.g. the Castilian traditional music) would also influence, and be influenced by, the traditional flamenco styles.

Location: Saturday, April 4th - From 7:30pm to 9:30 pm.

Big Band Orchestras.
Jordan was selected from more than 700 contestants as a finalist for the 1999 Lilith Fair Opening Act Contest. She also won the Portland Songwriters Association National Songwriting Contest’s pop category for her song The Fall of Love.
Her first CD, Standard Procedure garnered critical acclaim for Jordan’s rich, warm sound and masterful interpretation of jazz standards.
Her latest CD, The Fall of Love, Jordan uses her stellar vocal talent to perform expertly crafted original songs.
Working with lyricist/novelist Brian Christopher (frequently used by well-known Canadian singer/songwriter Geno Vanelli), the two have written tunes that cross musical genres, and move listeners with every track on the 10 song disc. http://www.pamelajordan.com/

Heather has the ability to captivate the audience with her voice. They are rapt, waiting for the next note. (Tony Starlight, Owner Tony Starlight's Supperclub & Lounge)
If I had to think of one word to describe Heather Keizur the musician, I would say 'passionate.' Passionate in her performance, passionate in her preparation for performance, and passionate about the material she presents.(Alan Tarpinian, Drummer, Classical Guitarist)

http://www.heatherkeizur.com/

He's been described as "one of the Northwest's most inventive pianists," (Willamette Week) with "a deft, lyrical touch and fevered imagination." (Victoria Times-Colonist) His trio is "focused, a very cohesive group capable of exploring standards and lesser-known jazz pieces with a soul and drive that hearkens all the way back to Monk, Garner and Bud Powell." (Cadence Magazine) His originals are "among the best compositions you'll hear on the local scene," (Dan DePrez) and David Frishberg says "Steve gets a great sound and plays with real authority and impeccable taste...he's one of my favorite piano players."

TONY PACINI & KACY COLLEEN

2009-03-20T19:30:00.000-07:00

TONY PACINI

The jazz piano artistry of Tony Pacini has been enthusiastically enjoyed by nightclub and festival audiences throughout the West coast as well as in his hometown of Portland, Oregon. Born in Tokyo, Japan (May, 1970), while his father, (a consumate musician) was on the road at the time; pianist Tony Pacini came to Portland, Oregon as an infant. Tony's exposure to music began at an early age, having the added benefits of growing up in a musical family including three uncles, two aunts and a father all of whom were experienced musicians. A piano student since age 5, Tony led his first trio as a teenager, holding down weekends at a popular jazz spot. The piano made higher education possible for Tony, including study at Boston's prestigious Berklee College Of Music, courtesy of a all-tuition paid scholarship from jazz critic Leonard Feather. Upon returning to Portland Tony immersed himself in the jazz scene performing with, most notably: Leroy Vinnegar, Bud Shank, Harry Allen, Ritchie Cole, Carl Saunders, Chuck Israels, Dan Faehnle, Claudio Roditi, Hadley Calliman, Mel Brown, Ron Steen, Nancy King and Rebecca Kilgore. In addition to leading the Tony Pacini Trio, Tony Pacini is the pianist and musical director of the Mel Brown Quartet as well as producer of the Mel Brown Quartet's new hit release, "Live: An Evening With The Mel Brown Quartet".

KACY COLLEEN

After a 5 year stint studying and working in LA, Colleen returned to Portland and formed a voice/guitar duo called “Nouveau 2” and recorded Sojourn, a compilation of guitar/vocal duets. Eventually, Kacy dropped the name “Nouveau 2” and expanded the instrumentation of the group, often including flute or saxophone. Kacy’s second recording, “You Were Meant For Me” is a collection of favorite tunes performed in an array of instrumentation, from duo to sextet. In addition to recording and performing, Kacy Colleen created “Jazz Notes,” a special feature for local jazz station, KMHD. Colleen researched, recorded and produced a series of audio “portraits” of some of the greatest jazz artists. Over the years her concerts have included a promotional tour of California, the Portland Mayor’s Ball, the Mt. Hood Festival of Jazz, North by Northwest, and performances at many of the Northwest’s best jazz venues. She has continued to build listener support with favorable press, radio airplay, her mailings and sales of the recordings.

DOMAINE DROUHIN
- Macon Village 2006 Chardonnay:

Mâcon-Villages is a flowery, fruity wine with a clear and brilliant hue. It has a crisp, medium body and a clean, lean acidity. Very pleasant finish.As with other white wines, Mâcon-Villages should be served chilled but not cold. It is meant to be enjoyed in its youth within 2 years. By itself as an aperitif. Easy to match with food, it will be best with white meat dishes or sea food.It is a perfect accompaniment to full flavored fish dishes and charcuterie.

- Laforêt 2006 Pinot Noir:
The hue has a brilliant ruby-garnet color. The nose offers effusive aromas of crushed berries (raspberry, redcurrant, andblackcurrant come to mind). On the palate, the wine is full of charm and very pleasant to drink : fresh and fruity berry flavors with light and elegant tannins. Drink young, up to two or three years. We recommend to serve the Laforêt at 15°-16°C (61F). Easy to match with food, it will be best with assorted delicatessen, poultry, white meat, "au gratin" dishes, roasted meat and soft cheeses.

ITALIA WINE TASTING WITH SMALL VINEYARDS

2009-02-27T17:00:00.000-08:00

2006 Tre Donne Arneis

Becoming increasingly important in Europe, Roero Arneis is a wine that seemingly satisfies everyone. It is crisp and clean, with a terrific cleanliness that delights the palate of white wine lovers, but as this is Arneis, the mouth-feel is full and lush, even without oak. So much so, in fact it is called il Barolo Bianco (the white Barolo) by its many admirers, because of its surprising weight and satisfaction in the mouth. A very rare grape, it nearly became extinct thirty years ago, but today it is thriving, and happily so. Blushing with fresh grass, flowers, and ripe pear, Tre Donne has done it again, as this wine has won numerous awards in Europe. 2500 cases produced.

2007 Perazzeta 'Sara' Bianco

If there is such thing as a Super-Tuscan white wine, Alessandro Bocci's counterpart to the wildly successful Sara Sangiovese would certainly qualify. Made from a fascinating blend of two classic Tuscan varietals -- Trebbiano and Malvasia, and two classic French varietals -- Chardonnay and Sauvignon, each of the four wines are vinified separately, then blended slowly to test their integration at each step. Graced with aromas of lemon zest, sage, a touch of mango and dried pineapple, Sara Bianco delivers delightfully heady complexity, no meditation required. Just 250 cases made. 2006 Forte Canto Salice SalentinoFrom 38 year-old master winemaker Massimiliano Apollonio comes this stunning Salice Salentino from Forte Canto. Massimiliano believes that Negroamaro is Puglia's most important varietal, and it showcases dynamically in this delicious value from Italy's deep south. Dusty plum, black cherry, and wild coriander aromas emanate from the glass, and somehow remind one of the warm, scented North African trade winds that reach the Salento peninsula from the Mediterranean. Made from younger vines than his decadent Terre del Grico Salice, this is a fresh, lovely wine that will pair well with robust, spicy meats and seafoods.

2006 Perazzeta 'Sara' Sangiovese

Alessandro Bocci, owner and winemaker at Perazzeta, is in our opinion, making some of the best wines in all of Tuscany right now. Located in Montecucco just south of Montalcino, his wines have tremendous power, tension, and assertive terroir. Bright, stinging cherry, crisp acidity, and tantalizing earth tones make this pretty, yet interesting wine hard to resist. The everyday wine of the estate, 'Sara' is named after his teenage daughter, and is a tremenous follow-up to his wildly popular 'Rita' (named after his wife). 1000 cases produced.

VALENTINE'S DAY AT VINIDEUS

2009-02-14T18:00:00.000-08:00

SAINT VALENTIN at VINIDEUS

Saint Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by many people throughout the world. In the West, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Bring your honey for a romantic evening at our cozy place.

Enjoy free live music with Zephyr , special cocktails, and free tasting !!

Vitteaut Alberti, Crémant Blanc de Blanc
80% Chardonnay + 20% Aligoté.Assembly of grapes from the Cote de Beaune and the CoteChalonnaise regions of Burgundy.Color is sparkling gold, delicate, small bubbles, outerring of surface bubbles, intense nose, very fruity, full, creamy flavor andremarkably crisp. A delicately elegant sparkling wine. Excellent choice fora cocktail.

Vitteaut Alberti, Crémant Rosé Brut
100% Pinot noir.Assembly of grapes from the Cote de Beaune and the CoteChalonnaise regions of Burgundy.The color is rose petal pink. The nose is theexpression of pinot noir , complex small red fruit and berry aromas.Can be enjoyed as a cocktail but also a great sparkling wine toaccompany meals, including dessert.

Velours de Nuits, Cassis:

The preparation of Velours de Nuits, Cassis comes from a long line oftraditional recipes of Burgundian crème de cassis, which calls for a slowmaceration of black current berries in wine. This best reveals the subtle aromasand wild character of black currant. The alcohol level of 5% allows for the purefruit expression to come through.Cassis can be enjoyed as a traditional Kir, mixing it with a very dry white wine(1/5 cassis to 4/5 white wine). For the sparkling version, simply substitutecrémant blanc de blanc for the still wine. Lesser known, but popular in Burgundy is the cardinal where the same proportion of cassis is added to a Beaujolais redwine.
Other great drink ideas:Cassis with sparkling or still waterCassis and clear soda popCassis and orange juiceCassis and Earl Grey iced teaCassis milkshake

Special Cocktail :

First we take a canard of sugar soaked in cassis. This is a tradition in France. The French take a sugar cube and soak it in all types of alcohol - with the stronger alcohols like calvados or other brandies, the sugar will help soften the bite. This is not necessary with this excellent cassis but is delicious and a beautiful presentation. We put the canard in the flute and fill it with Crémant de Bourgogne Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine. A cherry is placed on the top of the flute - with a toothpick holding it over the flute. The cherry can be eaten directly, offered to your amoureux or place it in the flute with the sugar and sparkling wine. The bubbles can push the cherry from the bottom to the top and gravity can let it fall again. In any case, the mix of Crémant, cassis, sugar and cherry is beautiful and an enchanting mix for one of the most romantic of occasions.

Saturday February 14th 2009 - From 5:30 pm to 11:30 pm.

TIM CONNELL

2009-02-07T19:30:00.000-08:00

Tim Connell
A graduate of the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist with over twenty years professional performance experience, Tim has been immersed in a variety of musical styles since he first began classical piano lessons at age seven.While working as a pianist and bassist in Boston, Tim delved deeply into the traditional Irish music of his youth, studying with renowned composer Michael O'Suilleabhain and master flutist Meabh Ni Fhuarthain. This work led him to the mandolin, and also to New England Conservatory, where he studied classical mandolin with Robert Sullivan, Jewish traditional music with klezmer guru Hankus Netsky, and modern improvisation with Ran Blake, receiving his Masters degree in 1997. While at NEC, Tim first heard the recordings of the great Brazilian choro mandolinist, Jacob do Bandolim, which led him to study this music with Brazilian choro masters Paulo Sa and Hamilton de Holanda, and with the legendary American mandolinist Mike Marshall. Tim currently lives in Portland, Oregon and performs choro and gypsy jazz with Rio Con Brio and Clambake, Irish music with The Yellers, Portuguese fado with Bossa do Fado, classical and Latin music with Toscana, and original compositions with Terracoustic. His study of Brazilian and Irish music, combined with his many years as a bassist and pianist have helped Tim synthesize a personal style on the mandolin which is harmonically advanced, rhythmically diverse and brimming over with sparkling ornamentation and romantic intensity.

He has also been featured on many radio and television programs in the U.S. and abroad.
Tobáj performs solo with guitar, with small jazz ensembles, and with larger jazz and Latin bands. His most recent CD - self titled, "Tobáj", received a review in the August 2005 issue of JAZZIZ MAGAZINE that reads: "Tobáj (Tobáj Music) - The Portland-based singer/guitarist blends easy and romantic vocals in Spanish and English with spirited acoustic accompaniment that tackles numerous genres, from flamenco to samba. The smoldering seduction is broken up, joyously, by the Santana-like electric fire of "Sensacional." Tobáj is also an accomplished "straight ahead standard-jazz" singer - specializing in vocal improvisation (scat singing).
Many have said, "A Latin Grammy waiting to happen." When performing in the Portland area, Tobáj draws from a wide variety of some of the most accomplished and well-known jazz musicians in the Northwest. Many of these musicians are featured on his new CD, such as Patrick Lamb (Sax), Jay "Bird" Koder (Electric Guitar), Jim Fischer (Keys and Piano), Sandin Wilson (Bass), Paul Mazzio (Trumpet and Flugelhorn), Toshi Onizuka (Flamenco Guitar), Caton Lyles (Percussion) and more! Tobáj is an all around entertainer who brings a high level of energy and professionalism to all his performances.

SANDY DENNISON AT BEAUMONT

2009-01-24T19:00:00.000-08:00

Jazz vocalist Sandy Dennison presents her second CD interpreting thirteen standards freshly “jazzed” up and packaged in a very special album simply titled Jazzed! Possessing unique vocals with a tender almost raspy quality to her sound, Dennison’s softer phrasings serve to separate her from the pack in creating an identity all her own. She employs this authentic sound in providing a new approach to the great selection of standards, some of which do not get the attention they deserve.

They quickly returned to Oregon's Willamette Valley to plant their first Arneis in 1991 - and became one of just three Arneis producers in the United States.The grapes are whole cluster pressed and cool fermented in stainless steel and French oak barrels, depending on the vintage.2007 Ponzi Arneis

KACY COLLEEN & GREG GOEBEL

2009-01-16T19:00:00.000-08:00

After a 5 year stint studying and working in LA, Colleen returned to Portland and formed a voice/guitar duo called “Nouveau 2” and recorded Sojourn, a compilation of guitar/vocal duets. Eventually, Kacy dropped the name “Nouveau 2” and expanded the instrumentation of the group, often including flute or saxophone.
Kacy’s second recording, “You Were Meant For Me” is a collection of favorite tunes performed in an array of instrumentation, from duo to sextet.
In addition to recording and performing, Kacy Colleen created “Jazz Notes,” a special feature for local jazz station, KMHD. Colleen researched, recorded and produced a series of audio “portraits” of some of the greatest jazz artists.
Over the years her concerts have included a promotional tour of California, the Portland Mayor’s Ball, the Mt. Hood Festival of Jazz, North by Northwest, and performances at many of the Northwest’s best jazz venues. She has continued to build listener support with favorable press, radio airplay, her mailings and sales of the recordings.

Greg Goebel was born in Oregon and began playing and composing music from an early age. Upon graduation from the University of Oregon, where he studied with Gary Versace, Randy Porter and Steve Owen, the school said of his achievements, "Greg has personally done more to elevate the performance level of our jazz students than any other person, graduate or undergraduate, who has attended the UofO in at least the last fifteen years." While at the University of Oregon Greg recieved an award in Downbeat Magazine for Outstanding Original Composition.
Greg then moved to Portland, OR where he has quickly become one of the most in demand pianists in the area. His musical style, rich with subtle complexities and harmonic surprises make him a distinct voice among jazz pianists today.
Greg has recorded and toured with renowned bassist David Friesen and is a current member of the David Friesen Trio.
In addition to keeping a busy schedule in Portland, Greg has had the pleasure of performing with notable musicians such as John Handy, Dick Oatts, Bob Magnusson, Terrell Stafford, Peter Epstein, Alan Jones, Rebecca Kilgore, Gary Hobbs, Ron Steen and John Gross.

BLUES WITH LEW JONES

2008-11-29T19:30:00.000-08:00

LEW JONES

In early 2000 I began work on my CD 'Sublimation' with Curt Cobain's mentor Jeremy Wilson from the Dharma Bums. That alone got the CD press. It was finished in late 2002 with a huge crowd at Conan's Pub. A media success and several songs radio ready to be hits. The other Cd released was a live acoustic set recorded by Josh Ellison of Living Room Records. It was called "American Folkie' and did very well with fans local and overseas thanks to the track "Summer's Ghost" which made The Rainbow Sampler aka Poet Man Records out of Kentucky. I received requests from Australia, New Zealand, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France and great deal of international airplay. In 2003 I opened for Buddy Guy and Los Lobos at the Maryhill Amphitheatre. During all this time I went to France, Germany, Switzerland, Greece and Turkey as well as Canada to play. Paris was my favorite especially the 2nd visit. I am currently working on Volume 2 of American Folkie and play weekends at various venues. In 2004 I began to teach guitar at the Multnomah Art Center. I re-released 5 projects onto CD. In 2005 one of the projects The Last Sunset on a Treetop Serenade was received so well that the first song was included on the Rainbow Sampler Volume 23 soon to be out.

LE BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU EST ARRIVE!

At one past midnight on the third Thursday of each November, from little villages and towns over a million cases of Beaujolais Nouveau begin their journey through a sleeping France to Paris for immediate shipment to all parts of the world. Banners proclaim the good news: Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé! "The New Beaujolais has arrived!" One of the most frivolous and animated rituals in the wine world has begun.By the time it is over, over 65 million bottles, nearly half of the region's total annual production, will be distributed and drunk around the world. It has become a worldwide race to be the first to serve to this new wine of the harvest. The race from grape to glass may be silly, but half the fun is knowing that on the same night, in homes, cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars and bistros around the world, the same celebration is taking place.

Sandrine is as confident she can run the farm by herself as Adrien is skeptical; the trials of the oncoming winter will prove them both wrong.

FLAMENCO

2008-10-11T19:30:00.000-07:00

Flamenco is the song, dance and music with its origins in Andalucia, Spain. Originally it is believed that it evolved as a result of the inquisition and a blend of the music of Arabs, Jews, and Gypsies that were persecuted at that time. It is comparable to blues/jazz of America, having a mournful side as well as its opposite. It has evolved tremendously in the last 40 years, mostly due to the influence of guitarist Paco de Lucia, who began using instrumentation never used before in flamenco and considered the leader of modern flamenco composition.

A JOURNEY THROUGH FRENCH POPULAR MUSIC

2008-09-24T19:30:00.000-07:00

A Journey through French Popular Music of the 20th Century...

Bonjour,

By performing in cafés, clubs and festivals while living in France, I have played many covers of French artistslike Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens, Edith Piaf, Serge Gainsbourg, Cabrel, etc...Since arriving in the USA morethan a year ago, I still enjoy playing these same songs to an American speaking audience; always explainingbefore hand the historical, creative and cultural context during which these tunes were played. People love it!I also gave a talk for the Alliance Française (a Portland organization for Francophiles) where I went throughFrench popular music of the 20th Century, illustrating it through live songs.Coming from a family background where I felt the importance of education (my mother is a recently retired 30year English teacher and my younger brother is today a middle school teacher), I was also looking for ways to getinvolved with community and school events in Portland. Knowing the value of music, especially in a time ofbudget cuts, I thought it would be a good idea to share this knowledge I have gathered over the years with youngstudents.The project I have proposed to Lincoln High School and this school's community is a 2 day/3 hour course (oncein French and once in English) taking students on a journey through French popular music of the 20th Century.This class would take place on a Wednesday and a Thursday from 9 am to 12 pm and would show how musiciansare influenced by the era in which they live in.It starts in 1900 with the building of the Eiffel Tower and the challenges facing this new century. Next we wouldexamine how World War I has influenced French music (the American GIs brought Jazz to Paris), whyJosephine Baker was so popular with her song « J'ai deux amours » during the 1930's and how censorshipoperated during the second World War in a divided country occupied by the Nazis. After this devastating conflict,new artists emerged mostly from Saint Germain des Près, a creative neighborhood of Paris. Then during the 60'smany French artists were fascinated by Rock N' Roll and copied it as much as they could. It was the Yéyés era...Amercian popular music such as Disco or even Hip Hop has always inspired French artists. I'm sure students would be fascinated to learn about all the « musical bridges » that exist between those two cultures. Being of dualcitizenship (my father is French and my mother American) this inspires me even more to talk about it.To illustrate this course and make it interactive I would play live songs with my guitar of French artists (since1900 up to today) live with my guitar. I would also show videos of other musicians. To encourage audience participation I would perform one or two songs with musicians from Lincoln high school.I hope this project motivates you as much as it does me.Kind regards,Eric John Kaiser http://www.ericjohnkaiser.com/

FREE WINE TASTING

Piedmont - Poderi Elia - Barbera d'Alba 2004 - 100% Barbera d'Alba
From the village of Neive, comes Poderi Elia's classically styled Barbera d'Alba.
Made with vines that are nearly 90 years old, the purity and confidence of the fruit are stunning.The freshly pressed cranberries on the nose are accentuated by lush, bright pomegranate. As always with the wines of Federico Stella, the tannins are very soft and integrated, always granular and unimposing. A blissful wine with poached Salmon.

Sicily - Martorana - Colonna 2006 - 50% Nero d'Avola, 50% Syrah
To think of Sicilian reds, one's mind almost immediately goes to Nero d'Avola andSyrah. Made prolifically, and sometimes very well, on the Mediterranean's most famous island, the two are a powerhouse when deftly combined in the hands of a seasoned expert.
Giuseppe Martorana, one of the smallest and most energetic producers in Sicily, truly understands his land and its relationship to these dense-fleshed varietals that grow so effortlessly on his ocean-front vineyard. Lush, rubenesque, plummy fruit is layered in between whiffs of Moroccan spice, mincemeat and even sweet ginger.

Trentino - De Tarczal 2005 - 100% Cabernet Franc
The De Tarczal family has been making wine since the 1600's, specializing in classic local varietals, some of which are virtually extinct. Unlike many of their neighbors, they do not sell to co-ops, even though they are very small. In Trentino, Cabernet Franc is a classic varietal, considered as "local" as, say, Moscato Giallo.
Climatically, the area near Rovereto is very similar to Pomerol, and the results are striking. Oldvine winemaking, naturally low-yields, high-altitude, and valley ventilation make this Cabernet Franc a celebration of the varietal, as clean as stained glass, and equally artistic and expressive.

WINE TASTING THIS WEEK END

2008-08-01T17:30:00.000-07:00

Free Wine Tastings this Weekend.

Exclusive Wines from Italia with Small Vineyards.

CAMPANIA - Tenuta Ponte 2007 - 100% Coda di Volpe
An ancient, full-bodied varietal from Campania, Coda di Volpe is virtually unknownin the States, but shares much of the appealing characteristics of Italy's most popular whites. Grown on cliffs over-looking the Tyrrhenian Sea, the wine is the perfect result of its location -- fresh, salty, rocky, and ripe from the intense Napolitano sun. Aromas of plantain, lemongrass and sweet basil swirl in the glass, and complement any seafood fare or Asian cuisine. A great value.

TUSCANY - Rigoloccio Rosso 2006 - 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Alicante.
A highly inspired blend of Cabernet, Cabernet Franc, and Alicante, this wine marries medium-bodied approachability with exceptional zesty flavor. From the famed Maremma in Tuscany,the beautiful Rigoloccio estate has a sweeping view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and borrows much of the wine's fresh, salty and pepper complexion from the big blue. This wine is slathered with flavor, extract, balance, minerality, tannins, length, deft cooperage, color and smile-inducing layers on the palate. Dusty and slightly herbaceous, Rigoloccio benefits greatly from the famous pyrite mine carved below the root system -- the flinty.

VENETO - Trevisol Prosecco Frizzante - 100% Prosecco.
From Valdobiaddene's grand family of prosecco, Paolo Trevisiol delivers an absolutedelight with this delicate, pleasing prosecco made in a wonderful, traditional frizzante style. Tiny, delicate bubbles deliver flinty aromas of acacia flower and Meyer lemon, all with Trevisiol's trademark minerality borne of his remarkable moraine soil. Finished with a classic French-style crown closure, the wine is perfect for lighter summer fare, especially oysters, fried chicken, or fresh fruit.

GIPSY MANDOLIN

2008-07-05T19:30:00.000-07:00

A graduate of the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist with over twenty years professional performance experience, Tim has been immersed in a variety of musical styles since he first began classical piano lessons at age seven.While working as a pianist and bassist in Boston, Tim delved deeply into the traditional Irish music of his youth, studying with renowned composer Michael O'Suilleabhain and master flutist Meabh Ni Fhuarthain. This work led him to the mandolin, and also to New England Conservatory, where he studied classical mandolin with Robert Sullivan, Jewish traditional music with klezmer guru Hankus Netsky, and modern improvisation with Ran Blake, receiving his Masters degree in 1997. While at NEC, Tim first heard the recordings of the great Brazilian choro mandolinist, Jacob do Bandolim, which led him to study this music with Brazilian choro masters Paulo Sa and Hamilton de Holanda, and with the legendary American mandolinist Mike Marshall. Tim currently lives in Portland, Oregon and performs choro and gypsy jazz with Rio Con Brio and Clambake, Irish music with The Yellers, Portuguese fado with Bossa do Fado, classical and Latin music with Toscana, and original compositions with Terracoustic. His study of Brazilian and Irish music, combined with his many years as a bassist and pianist have helped Tim synthesize a personal style on the mandolin which is harmonically advanced, rhythmically diverse and brimming over with sparkling ornamentation and romantic intensity.

2008-06-14T17:00:00.000-07:00

2004 Les Demoiselles Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Leognan. Grand Vin de Graves Red.

50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon.

A moderately deep colour, maturity at the rim already, with a little evolution also apparent, with some tobacco notes among the other mineral elements. Nice, fresh, light, a little compact texture through the midpalate, but otherwise rather soft and open. Nicely balanced though. Ripe, approachable, in fact ready now.

2004 Les Demoiselles Larrivet Haut-Brion

Pessac-Leognan. Grand Vin de Graves White.

50% Sauvignon Blanc, 50% Semillon.

Some new oak and notes of fennel on the nose, lovely, open and fresh, a touch green, some green capsicum, but a rounded, harmonious character nevertheless. Full, flavoursome, a touch creamy, but green like the nose. Chalky, shellfish crispness, certainly fresh and clean. Uncomplicated.
