on classical music

for everyone who loves classical music, as well as anyone wondering about its relevance today... benjamin zander explains it best.

morgon for spring nights

the trees are covered in easter-colored blossoms, and all over town cafes are moving onto sidewalks and boasting of backyards. so you put on your sunglasses and --yay!-- throw out your tights.

but come night time, it gets a bit chilly, and of course, the landlord has turned off the heating for the season. so you put your socks back on and wrap yourself in flannel... and then, what do you drink?

the morgon "cote du py" from jean foillard is an excellent wine for such nights. a luscious cherry flavor but smooth silky palate. it's probably the most beautiful kind of gamay i've ever tasted. perfect for days you want something refreshing but deep enough to "hold you" at the same time. my favorite importer at the moment, kermit lynch.
