Friday Night Wine Buzz. Ask me anything. [View all]

Three shots, not the usual two, to get the party started. Now, some fizzy, bubbly Lambrusco.

Watching “Excalibur”, the movie that introduced me to the music of Richard Wagner and Carl Orff.

I still dig the movie’s surreal, Gothic vibe, the poetic moments of ancient magic, Arthur’s submission to Uriens to make him a knight, that final, incredible sunset ending with Percival casting Excalibur back into the lake. The film is greater than the sum of its parts.

Looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

I love you all.
