Languedoc In Southern France: Quality Wines Minus The Prestige Means Great Value
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The price of a wine is, to some extent, determined by supply and demand. But supply can be plentiful, and the prices still soar. I don’t have a problem with expensive wines. They are easy to avoid. The challenge for a wine lover lies in finding exceptional wines at a reasonable cost, wines where prestige plays a minor role and it’s all about great flavour and character. There are many of these wines around. But they are harder to find than the super-expensive ones. At the extensive wine fair Wine Paris in February, we met four of our favourites from the Languedoc region in southern France. These four producers are exceptional value for money. Domaine du Nouveau Monde, Languedoc Domaine L’Arbuselle, Faugères Domaine Rouanet Montcelebre, Minervois Domaine des Terres Georges, Minervois (All prices mentioned in the text are for purchases at the estates.)

Sunday Conversation: Lyle Lovett On New Music, Fatherhood, Songwriting, Cartoons And More
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Lyle Lovett's masterful new record, 12th of June , is like a primer on the genius of Lovett. After opening with an instrumental jazz cover, "Cookin' At The Continental," the record covers the spectrum of Lovett's musical abilities. There are songs of humor like "Pants Is Overrated," jazzy tunes like "Straighten Up And Fly Right" and then there are songs of stunning, sheer beauty — the title track, "The Mocking Ones" and "Are We Dancing. For Lovett, who hadn't released a studio album in a decade, it was important to cover his full musical spectrum. "For somebody that hadn't heard the large band before, I wanted them to kind of know what it was about," he said when I spoke to him this week. "And then for folks that are familiar with my music, I wanted this record to feel like something that they would want to hear or would expect to hear." Lovett will be taking 12th of June tour this summer as part of a double bill … [Read more...] about Sunday Conversation: Lyle Lovett On New Music, Fatherhood, Songwriting, Cartoons And More
John Fetterman Launches Campaign For U.S. Senate In Pennsylvania
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Lt. Gov. John Fetterman officially threw his hat in the ring for the 2022 U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania on Monday, handing Democrats a candidate with growing national name recognition for a race viewed as a potential pickup. Key Facts Fetterman will run to fill Sen. Pat Toomey’s (R-Pa.) seat, after the Republican announced in October he would retire after two terms and return to the private sector. President Joe Biden flipped Pennsylvania in 2020 on his way to winning the White House, and many insiders considered the state fertile ground for Democrats to build on their narrow majority in 2022. A long time mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, Fetterman’s profile has grown after a failed run for the Senate in 2016. Elected lieutenant governor in 2018, Fetterman—who is 6-foot-8 with tattoos and a beard—became a familiar face on television news networks, including MSNBC, in the waning … [Read more...] about John Fetterman Launches Campaign For U.S. Senate In Pennsylvania
Why you need to take right-wing comedy seriously
It was one of the more spectacular TV flops of the 21st century. Late in the second term of President George W. Bush, in 2007, Fox News decided that it had the right-wing alternative to Comedy Central’s popular and influential The Daily Show with Jon Stewart . The 1/2 Hour News Hour would puncture liberal pieties and media bias in the fashion that Stewart and his cast of fake correspondents fired barbs at conservatives and right-wing media like Fox News. The show tanked—hard—more or less after the pilot aired in February 2007. And with its failure, modern progressives (and future leftists) had all the evidence they needed: Conservatives weren’t funny. advertisement advertisement For the last 15 years, that take—frequently informed by one failed late-night show—has stuck among anyone who isn’t a conservative. But all the while, right wingers were making comedy—and succeeding. Some of it flew under the radar in subterranean clubs and YouTube channels, … [Read more...] about Why you need to take right-wing comedy seriously
