Fayssoux McLean sang duets and harmony for Emmylou Harris in the early days,
before retiring from professional music.
Recently, she was ‘re-discovered’ and encouraged to return to the…
The answer in my opinion is a Beaujolais. This is not to be confused with Beaujolais Nouveau, the wine released every November that’s known for being light and fruit. Year-round Beaujolais is the wine world’s best open secret. Most reds that we drink, such as Cabernets or Syrahs, or actually too heavy and rich for most foods we eat. These wines go better with steaks or equally rich foods. For everyday foods like pasta or chicken, a Beaujolais is perfect. It’s light to medium bodied, moderate to low tannins, fruit forward without being too much, and just enough acidity. It pairs with just about everything. Whenever somebody presents me with a tough pairing question I always go to the Beaujolais and it’s never let me down. Best of all, they are not very expensive. We carry my favorite Beaujolais, Chateau du Basty, which sells for $16.99 (and that’s considered a higher-end Beaujolais).
Beaujolais is a region in France, itself part of the Burgundy region. The grape used to make the wine is called Gamay, and is somewhat similar to Pinot Noir in its characteristics. If you are looking for something new to try, it would be hard to do better.
We are firmly in the non-censorship camp in this house. I think the potential damage caused by discouraging reading far, far outweighs the potential damage caused by what they may read. I mean, my son had read the entire Harry Potter series several times and has only caused several small animal deaths testing out his […]
The What if I had no children question turned out to be kind of popular. 17 entries are linked from the wiki, and I think there might be more out that weren’t linked by the author. For June 15, we are going to tiptoe into the Presidential race. With any luck, the Democrats will have […]
The girls had a 4H thing Friday night, so the boy and I took in Iron Man. Generally speaking, I’ve found most movie adaptations of comic books to be less than stellar. This is not the case with Iron Man. This is simply a great movie. Plenty of action, and in an odd turn for […]
Here’s a report from the Free Lance-Star’s Emily Battle, as well as one from Shawn O’Donnell.
According to Battle, Warner bought a bumpersticker at Goolrick’s Pharmacy that said: If You Don’t Vote, Don’t Whine. Amen.
A few things prompted me to write this article. From it, I hope there a couple of things people who are looking to by Fredericksburg real estate will glean.
First, that it is important to have representation in a real estate transaction. Representation that will make sure all of your interests are fully protected.
Second, that when […]
On May 26, students at an El Camino, CA high school were emotionally terrorized and subjected to a cruel hoax in the name of education.Many juniors and seniors were driven to tears – a few to near hysterics – May 26 when a uniformed police officer…
Sunday 18th [May 1862] The soldiers are working the foundry as usual to day. All have gone to church but me. We think it right that some one of us should always be at home now as a sort of protection to the house. My…
From the 5/23 police reports, some punk stoke a copper downspout from the Circuit Court building. If the courts aren’t safe from quick fingers…. I hope they catch the guy and literally throw the book at him, or how about a rough downspout – that woul…
