On the Lawn at Tanglewood this afternoon with the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra (the overly talented youth!). Our conductor Andris Nelsons is leading IVES (Three Places in New England, Orchestral Set No. 1), BEETHOVEN (Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Opus 37) and STRAUSS (Also sprach Zarathustra, Opus 30...aka 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick❤️).

One of our local treasures, Emanuel Ax on piano for the Beethoven Concerto! — 5 months ago

Dark crimson Cabernet Franc, nose of smoky oak, fruit cake with a flavourful palate reminiscent of blackberries and black currants and stewed plum. Super dry finish. Chef chose to pair it with Bison sirloin, steak frites. — a year ago

Ah, the 2010 vintage of Ricardo Santos Malbec, a transcendental libation that beckons the soul into the labyrinthine depths of vinicultural exuberance. As I imbibed this elixir, my palate embarked on an odyssey through an enigmatic symphony of hedonistic flavors. The terroir speaks with the eloquence of a thousand poets, invoking an avant-garde pas de deux between dark fruit and enigmatic earthiness.

The tannins, oh, the tannins! Like philosophers engaged in a Socratic dialogue with one's senses, they debate their existence before yielding to a seductive silkiness that borders on a Vinous epiphany. Its finish lingers, not unlike the sermons of a zealous street preacher, echoing in the inner sanctum of one's mind.

In conclusion, Ricardo Santos' 2010 Malbec is a vinous riddle wrapped in an enigmatic enigma, destined to provoke laughter, tears, and existential contemplation. A masterpiece of humorous absurdity in a glass! — a year ago

Mild Orange wine with great citrus and cream flavors. A great crowd pleaser that went perfectly with cheese, Mac & cheese, and homemade Turkish food. — 2 years ago

Rich, smooth Cab with awesome bouquet. Hints of chocolate and deep fruit. This a classic Napa cab from a very good year. The finish goes on and on. Enjoyed aboard Seabourn Odyssey off French Polynesia. — 2 years ago

A nice white wine with some juicy citrus flavors, but a let-down after tasting Oikonomoy’s Odyssey. I likely would have liked this wine better if I had it first. Not orange like Odyssey but some similar but less pronounced flavors., and a citrus nose. — 2 years ago

Continuing on with my Tasmanian Odyssey - this time a cool climate Shiraz. Lovely and semi rich with pepper and spice and only medium weight, but with a plummy note - my style of Shiraz. Loved it. Not dissimilar to a Saint Joseph. — 3 years ago
