Weezer: Will They Rise Again? Elias J. Tracy 2 buzz February 6-12, 2015
MUSIC The first in our new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will They Rise Again?â&#x20AC;? series, we take a retrospective look at Weezer and see if the pop rock band will be able to attain their emo-era levels of notoriety and fame.
With all due respect, what is Governor Rauner thinking? Never before have I used a texting acronym with more sincerity, but a $10 minimum wage . . . in 7 years? LOL. I struggle to imagine a State of the State address which could have been more anti-union, anti-worker and anti-Illinois. What follows here is a brief rundown of the most offensive policy suggestions made Wednesday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increase the minimum wage to $10 an hour over the next 7 yearsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This is simply insufficient. By the time the minimum wage finally hits the $10 mark in 2022, it will be just as inadequate as $8.25 is now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employee empowerment zonesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as if dressing up right-to-work policies make them any more appetizing. The base of our tax system is â&#x20AC;&#x153;too narrowâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; instead of bleeding the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lowest earners to afford â&#x20AC;&#x153;property tax freezesâ&#x20AC;? for the highest earners, Illinois needs to adopt a progressive tax system. Prohibiting campaign contributions by unions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not only do union workers represent a real interest which deserves a legitimate voice in government. Furthermore, two Koch brothers together donate more than double the top ten union contributions combined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; union contributions are not an issue and Rauner needs to stop diverting attention. There are other policy areas on which Rauner is misguided. On Monday, the governor expressed his desire to limit the ability of public employees to collectively bargain for wages or pensions. Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enthusiasm for expanding Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; charter schools is well-documented and wrong. Senator Michael Noland introduced a bill Tuesday that would legalize the recreational use of marijuana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an overwhelmingly popular reform which Rauner has threatened to veto. Ironically, our uptight venture capitalist governor could probably benefit from a toke or two.

ÂťPAYING IT FORWARD:
RED-Y, SET, GO! LAUREN EIDEN Today, people across the country and right here in the community are showing support for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cardiac care. National Wear Red Day is held on the first Friday of February each year and is used to help raise awareness about the number one killer of women: heart disease. The American Heart Association and Go Red For Women are two organizations that work to fight against heart disease. In 2003, they announced the first National Wear Red Day and have made numerous accomplishments since then. Since the event has begun, almost 90 percent of women have made at least one healthy behavioral change and one third of women have had conversations with their doctors about creating heart health plans, according to Go Red For Women. To â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go Redâ&#x20AC;? today people are encouraged to incorporate red into their wardrobe, donate or fundraise for Go Red, share National Wear Red Day experiences using #GoRedSelfie and attend local Wear Red Day events. There are a few options to show your support and participate in Champaign. On Feb. 13, Champaign Go Red For Women is hosting a Luncheon at the Hilton Garden Inn & Conference Center. At the Luncheon, women will learn how to reduce their risk of hear disease and stroke while raising money through donations and auction items. On campus during the second week of March, the local Alpha Phi International Sorority chapter will be hosting a variety of events towards raising money for womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cardiac care including a broomball tournament, a taco dinner and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;King of Heartsâ&#x20AC;? male pageant. According to Go Red For Women, 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented with education and lifestyle changes. From wearing red today to attending one of the cardiac care events in Champaign, there are many ways to help women overcome heart disease.
COFFEE EDITION Occasionally at work, an older man comes in and buys a small cup of coffee. However, he buys something else: the next person's cup of coffee. The amount of unbridled surprise and sheer joy that the next random, coffeebuying stranger experiences is /delightful/ to watch. I am jazzed whenever this old man comes in and gets his small cup of coffee and asks, "Can I also buy the next small coffee for someone?" An additional perk to this token of kindness is watching its trickle-down effect. Sometimes the next person down the line continues the gesture, buying the next cup of coffee for a stranger. If you're feeling fanciful and want to make someone's day, try paying it forward, coffee style.

ÂťCU MUSIC SCENE I was lucky enough to work with 18 Champaign-Urbana artists this winter and release buzz Magazine's Covering Our Tracks compilation this morning. When you're exposed to something for so long, it's easy to let it get swept under the rug. While the CU music scene is one of the most historic and vibrant in the Midwest, it's difficult to remember what you're surrounded by on a day-to-day basis. Today, though, I hope we're all reminded of the history in our town and the future scene we continue to build towards.

THE
nominations for this year’s Academy Award for Best Picture are out, and it’s only a matter of time before one of the films wraps its celluloid fingers around Oscar gold. Before the officials make their call, we’ve picked the best of the past year’s best, both on the list of nominees and off it, that we would love to see taking home the top Academy Award. The Lunchbox Director Ritesh Batra’s The Lunchbox is the filmic equivalent of a perfect cup of chai. Like an accomplished chai wallah, mixing spices and tea leaves over a slow boil, Batra has concocted a love story that stirs passion, regret and longing into a subtle, potent blend. It starts with Mumbai housewife Ila preparing her husband’s daily lunchbox, handing it off to a citywide delivery network of trains, rickshaws and footpaths. One day, an error sends the lunchbox instead to the desk of elderly Saajan. Once they realize the mistake, the two start trading notes through the lunchbox, and their friendship warms into a touching epistolary romance. Though Saajan and Ila almost never meet, their shared passion runs deep through a narrative full of near misses and almost-happenings. Watching their love bloom is reminiscent of Rushdie’s story of an indirect kiss in Midnight’s Children, in which a screen couple is forbidden from kissing on screen due to censors’ restrictons and instead project their love for each other onto an apple: “Pia kissed an apple sensuously, with the rich fullness of her painted lips; then passed it to Nayyar, who planted upon its opposite face a virilely passionate mouth.” Ila and Saajan’s relationship is as beautiful as it is understated, just as the love of Pia

and Nayyar, restricted by film censors, expressed itself in indirect kisses to apples, mangoes and steaming cups of spiced tea. –Ash Valentine Birdman After the credits rolled, it took 20 minutes for me and my friends to notice that there still hadn’t been a cutaway shot in the entire film, and another 10 minutes of arguing before we looked up whether or the entire movie had actually been filmed in one take. If it had been, I wouldn’t have been surprised: It’s a sensory masterpiece. Michael Keaton is revived through his portrayal of washed up superhero actor Riggan Thomson, Edward Norton is hilariously disturbing and Emma Stone’s 30-second outburst might be enough on its own to win her Best Supporting Actress. These performances, combined with the screenplay’s tongue-in-cheek satire of showbiz, are enough to garner a Best Picture nomination on their own. But the way the camera sweeps from scene to scene, leaving the viewer breathless, is what separates this film from the pack. Birdman traps its audience, entrancing them with its visuals so that their attention stays with the story. The film feels huge, whether it be when the throbbing reoccurring drums propel the story through the dark hallways of the theatre, or when the camera soars with Thomas’ superhuman delusion through the streets of New York. All these aspects of the film come together perfectly to form a work of art with the visceral intensity of the theatre and the stunning visual quality of a Best Picture. –Josh Peterson Wild In this film based on a true story, Reese Witherspoon (nominated for Best Actress for this role)
plays Cheryl Strayed, a distraught woman who decides to hike over 1,000 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail to prove to herself she is the woman her mother raised. She grew up in an abusive household, then left for a life with her single mother struggling to get by. When her mother later died, Cheryl turns to drugs and promiscuity to fill the void her mother left, despite the fact that she was married. The movie shows Cheryl hiking the PCT, and we learn all of the background information about her life in flashbacks through the film. It was very inspiring to see this woman who had such a difficult upbringing and who struggled her entire life finally take control of herself. The film leaves you thinking about the relationships you have with people, and ultimately, how temporary life can be. –Anisa McClinton American Sniper Of the five nominees for Best Picture that I’ve seen, American Sniper immediately stands out as a winner. The movie is gripping, intense and timely. Clint Eastwood captures all of the suspense and heartbreak of this harrowing tale of war, and Bradley Cooper punctuates it with a strong performance as Chris Kyle. The movie is a fast-paced emotional roller coaster, juxtaposing cringe-inducing scenes of violence and terror with Kyle’s readjustment into home life with PTSD and a growing family. American Sniper pays high respect to men in uniform and, regardless of the viewer’s political background, you will be left speechless at the end credits with much to think about and to be thankful for. If 2009’s The Hurt Locker is deserving of the Academy’s top prize, American Sniper should be a shoo-in. –David Robertson

Wednesday, Feb. 11, the Student Life and Culture Archives at Illinois and the Champaign County Historical Archives will continue their Town & Gown Speaker Series, a project which highlights the local history of Champaign-Urbana through material held by both archives. This event will focus on African-American history in Champaign County. Presentations by Tamara Hoff, Ray Cunningham and Barb Garvey will take place at the Douglas Branch Library in Champaign, located at 504 E. Grove St., Champaign at 6 p.m. buzz got a chance to speak with Amanda Raklovits, a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s librarian at the Douglas Branch, as well as Anna Trammell, a graduate student in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) and one of the seriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coordinators. The Douglas Branch tends to host many afterschool programs for local students. While it currently has an adult book club, Raklovits mentioned that the Speaker Series seemed like a way
to expand their programming and bring in more residents and University students. buzz: How did the Town & Gown Series get started? What has your role been in the process? Anna Trammell: Last summer, I approached Ellen Swain, the Archivist for Student Life and Culture, about completing a practicum. This is a way for students to gain course credit while working in a library or archives. Ellen thought that this event would be a good project for me to work on. At that point, the series was in its very early stages. Ellen and Anke Voss, the director of the Champaign County Historical Archives at the Urbana Free Library, had made a basic plan for topics they wanted to include in the series but needed help researching the topics, finding speakers and marketing the event. Since then, I have managed the series. The Student Life and Culture Archives and the Champaign County Historical Archives have worked together on projects in the past, but not

a series of events like this. Ellen and Anke really wanted plan events around topics of historical significance to the campus and the community to highlight the materials held by the archives. This is the first year, but we do plan to continue the series in the future. buzz: What has been the structure of these talks and where have they typically taken place? AT: The first event of the series was held in September. We have planned a total of five events for this academic year. We held two events last semester: one on the topic of the local story of World War Iâ&#x20AC;Ś and the other included a compilation of films held by the archives with the assistance of UIUC Media Preservation coordinator Josh Harris. The events are held at different locations. We hope to reach a wider audience by holding the events at multiple locations in the community. Our upcoming events will be held at the Douglass Branch Library, the Urbana Free Library and the University YMCA. buzz: This is the first time the event has happened
Religious Services
at Douglas Library. Why was their location chosen? Who typically attends these events? Who is encouraged to attend? AT: A goal of the series is to involve many community and campus organizations in the events. The Douglass Branch is a venue with strong ties to the African-American community and (its members) were eager to partner with us for this event. Everyone is encouraged to attend. We want to make the series accessible and relevant to members of the campus and the community and highlight our shared history. Our events last semester were attended by students, faculty and staff from the University as well as community members. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really interesting audience. At our film event, for example, we had students who may not be from this area, but are interested in the history of the community and locals who have lived here their whole lives and remember growing up in the Champaign-Urbana displayed in some of the film clips.

was hard to ignore the bigger picture when I heard Isaac Arms repeat the words of Common Loonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matthew Campbell: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a notion of circular motion hovering over me.â&#x20AC;? Armsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; voice mimicked Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pattern but remained unique in its inflection, managing to build on what the past had already laid out for him. It happened again when Emily Otnes repeated the words of HUMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Talbott with added clarity, and again when Champaign Mayor Don Gerard took Bill Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive vocals on Honcho Overloadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miserableâ&#x20AC;? and stripped them down across an unexpected cushion of violin. Champaign-Urbanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music scene has built itself around every turn of the year, creating communities and a history that outlasts its cyclical supply of musiciansâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones who moved here for it, the ones who stumbled upon it through the University or the ones who were born into it, lucky enough to grow up in the artistic breeding grounds of the CU area. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to focus in and celebrate the individual accomplishments throughout the townsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; history, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to ignore the collective accomplishment of the history itself. buzz Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Covering Our Tracks compilation extends the collaborative nature of the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great musical background. The 18-track compilation features CU artists covering other CU artists of past and present eras. From historic bands like The Poster Children and HUM to more recent successes in Grandkids and The Fights, listeners are able to absorb an audible history lesson on one of the most successful and productive music scenes in the history of the Midwest. Running just over 66 minutes, Covering Our Tracks features both current and reformed CU bands performing covers of their favorite local tracks, including The Fights, Tara Terra, Withershins, Easter, Motes, Feral States, The Phantom Broadcast, Sad Man, Morgan Orion, Paul Koetheimer, Kenna Mae, Boycut, Finer Feelings, Jeremiah Fisher, Walt
Falbo & the Falbonauts, Mike Ingram, Penny Horses and the Self-Righteous Brothers. The artists on the compilation vary in their interpretations of the original songs. Noise artist Jeremiah Fisher takes a bending, industrial approach on Didjitsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1988 punk track â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joliet,â&#x20AC;? while The Fightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; take a naturally straight-forward trip through The Beauty Shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Desperate Cry for Help.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Beauty Shop had songs that were soulful in the strictest sense of the word,â&#x20AC;? said The Fights frontman Cole Rabenort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The heart and thought that they put into their songs is something that should be remembered. Saying so much with so few words is what every aspiring writer aims to do, but The Beauty Shop couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but do it.â&#x20AC;? Thirty-two CU artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work are found on the compilation, spanning four decades of the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. Many of the covers include bands who are still active in the CU sceneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;or ones that have reemerged for reunions in recent years (American Football, HUM). Artists from the area are also featured in the compilationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s production. Arms (Withershins) helped organize the effort and Tara Terraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Colin Althaus mastered the collection. Local singersongwriter Morgan Orionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cover of Kenna Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s track â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worst Kindâ&#x20AC;? also featured mixing from Champaign emcee Shannon Swords (Swords and the Shady Perrys). â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Kenna Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Worst Kindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;) struck me at The Rosebowlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hootenanny one night in Urbana, and I was floored,â&#x20AC;? Orion said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like every time I see Kenna, she has one great songâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the sort of song that stands the test of time. And then the next time I see her, she has one even better than that.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this immortality Orion touches upon that elevates the CU music scene. In a college town where the people and their surroundings are changing year-to-year, the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical past and present can be relied upon, and from time-to-time, celebrated in a balanced entanglement of what was and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to come.
Mommy... Where do clowns come from?
"I chose the song because I love the little mantra that Eli repeats at the end over and over, "it's okay to be sad." It's a really pleasant melody and idea, and it reprises a song that comes earlier on the tape. Eli (Sad Man) is one of my best friends in the world who I was lucky to become close with when I was stuck home from school in 2013. I love the band and songs because I love him and I feel that they embody him well." -Kyle Lang of Easter on Sad Man's "Ghost"
"'A Desperate Cry for Help' is a well-written and hilarious song about a plain-ole' guy going through plain-ole' life, except it feels like a million pounds and The Fights can dig on that. The Beauty Shop had songs that were soulful in the strictest sense of the word. The heart and thought that they put into their songs is something that should be remembered. Saying so much with so few words is what every aspiring writer aims to do, but The Beauty Shop couldn't help but do it." -Cole Rabenort of The Fights on The Beauty Shop's "A Desperate Cry for Help"
"I've always harassed the Common Loon dudes about this song, because they don't play it live. Which has been tragic for me, as it's one of my very favorites from their full-length. Common Loon is always fresh and huge and tight and set a bar for songwriting and recording production. This song in particular is very dreamy, very deep, and intertwines melodies and themes in the way that Common Loon are so brilliant at." -Isaac Arms of Withershins on Common Loon's "Greenland" February 6-12, 2015 buzz 7

Mixed media works by Kamila Glowacki in her exhibit, "Saccharine." Champaign, IL. Photo by Diana Diggs
STARTING
Feb. 11, folks can satisfy that proverbial sweet tooth with Kamila Glowacki’s “Saccharine” exhibition. Every month, the Women’s Resource Center holds exhibitions featuring student artwork by women artists, showcasing artwork that examines topics related to gender, identity or feminism. “Kamila Glowacki’s work is playful, unique, and illustrative,” Assistant Director of the Women’s Resource Center Rachel Storm said. “We were drawn to it for her use of color and her engagement in printmaking for many local events in Champaign-Urbana.” Glowacki received her BFA in Art Education and Painting from the University in 2013 and is currently an education coordinator at Krannert Art Museum. She’s also active in the CU music scene and has designed concert posters and album covers. buzz had a chance to catch up with the artist before the premiere of her exhibition. buzz: Tell me a bit about yourself. I know you’re involved in the CU music scene. How does that relate to your artwork? Kamila Glowacki: During my time in school, I was always wondering what my art practice would be like once I (graduated). Like, am I really going to have a studio space and make
8 buzz February 6-12, 2015
paintings and sculptures and things like that? Or am I going to do something more practical with it? What I ended up doing mostly was what I expected. I make fliers for shows, album artwork and artwork for t-shirts for bands, things like that. It’s been a really nice way to just tie together my interest of playing music and playing in bands as well as creating art. When this opportunity came to me through Rachel Storm to have this art show, originally I thought I’d just (exhibit) past work, like all my flyers and things I’ve made for the music scene. But then I thought: Why not use this as an opportunity to push myself to create new artwork that isn’t made specifically for a product or a purpose, but just for art itself? buzz: What’s the significance behind the exhibition’s title, “Saccharine”? KG: I basically wanted a title that got across the idea of something that is sickly sweet, almost so sweet that it would make your teeth hurt. Also, I wanted something a little sentimental, or something that brings back memories and emotions in some way. buzz: How does “Saccharine” connect to the Women’s Resource Center? KG: A lot of the themes that the work is kind of
dealing with, as far as relation to the Women’s Resource Center, (are due to the fact) that I am a female artist and that I’m active in these different scenes, like the music scene and the art scene and even education. The art doesn’t necessarily have a specific lens toward gender or feminism. It’s very simple, just about finding pleasure in stuff, and the weird balance between something that’s sickly sweet with things that are repulsive, like bugs and rotten food. But I guess in some ways it does deal with gender in that it’s really bright, attractive, almost even feminine things that are being taking out of their original context and changed in some way. You’re attracted to it, but you’re also dealing with feelings of being repelled by it. buzz: Where did you draw your inspiration for “Saccharine”? KG: The inspiration came from two different strains in art history. The first is 17th century Dutch still lifes that are called vanitas. They have the same idea of this food that’s painted in a state of decay. They kind of address the brevity of life and how life is short, so you don’t need to focus on these earthly pleasures that will not always last. I was always interested in those particular still lifes because normally you paint or
take pictures of something in its most beautiful state—but they’re finding things at their worst state and painting them. I think there’s a pop art influence in there as well, with Andy Warhol and that idea of mass production and mass consumerism: the idea that you want to get one in every flavor or you want one in every color. There’s a kind of advertisement quality to the artwork. It’s got really bright, attractive colors because again, I’m trying to attract people, but also repel them in some ways. buzz: What do you hope people will take away from this exhibition? KG: When I made this work there really wasn’t a big message or a super deep reason behind. It’s really just a fun and very simple show. The take away is the same idea with the vanitas, to just enjoy life. It was what I wanted to draw, what I thought was fun to draw. The take away is to have fun and enjoy it. buzz: How would you convince people to check out Saccharine? KG: The refreshments that are being provided kind of go with the show. So we’re going to have lots of candy! There will be doughnuts and other things that are over-the-top sweet. It’s going to be like a five-year-old’s sugar-high dream.

CABERNETS FOR A CAUSESTREET
$UW 0DUW·V 2USKHXP :LQH *DOD 7KULOOV ZLWK 7DVWLQJV PAUL ANGELILLO
WHEN
my guests and I arrived at Krannert this past Friday, we were quite unsure how a wine tasting of such magnitude was supposed to work. We knew the Wine Gala was organized as a fundraiser for Champaign’s Orpheum Children’s Science Museum and that our ticket got us entry and a free wine glass (one that would elicit some strange stares on the bus ride home). We also knew that wine events are not exactly uncommon around CU. Nevertheless, while those weekly Krannert Uncorked events are always a pleasant time, the promise of over 200 wines from around the world and the opportunity (or challenge) to taste them all was simply an oenophile’s dream. Arriving just a few minutes past starting time, we entered into the main area of Krannert’s lobby and surveyed some 18 tables, brimming with bottles and manned by smartly dressed purveyors. It was early enough that only a handful of the tables were serving the dozen or so guests and, though the crowd was polite and engaged, the sparseness threatened to subdue the night’s energy. By the time we left, however, each tasting table
JONE SIN’
by Matt Jones
had a throng of eager guests waiting for their next pour. Wine distributors (and even a Master of Wine) polished and plied their bottles, sharing big, bold reds and sparkling whites with glee. Hors d’oeuvres–tasty ones–were flying into patrons’ mouths and onto the floor. The reserved and cultured mood of the gala’s opening moments gave way to a raucous energy, as students and locals alike tested the limits of exactly how much wine could be tasted for 20 dollars. It was a surprising and special evening. Krannert has previously partnered with Urbana’s (now closed) Corkscrew Wine Emporium to run annual Wine Galas supporting Orpheum, but this past Friday marked the first incarnation partnering with Art Mart. Though Art Mart’s name might not reveal it to outsiders, the shop, started in 1958 and calling Lincoln Square Village home since 1979, has long prided itself on carrying an “excellent” selection of wine rather than simply a broad one. Add in a similarly discriminating taste for the finest oils, sauces, cheeses and deli meats alongside some famous, fresh baked croissants, and it is easy to see why the eclectic Urbana spot
is a natural fit to present the Gala. Art Mart has even hosted a previous Wine and Cheese event at Krannert supporting Cunningham Children’s Home which itself had over 100 wines to sample. Benefitting from all of Krannert’s happy drinkers, the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum opened in December of 1994 in what was once the historic Orpheum Theatre. The theatre, itself a one-third scale model of Versailles’s famous opera house, found early success with vaudeville in the 1910s and 1920s before shifting toward screening motion pictures and eventually closing in the late 1980s. Thanks to the efforts of the local Preservation and Conservation Association as well as a grant from the National Park Service, the old Orpheum Theatre has transformed into the Orpheum Children’s Science Museum, an educational exploration of the arts and sciences that makes use of the historic building. All proceeds from the gala, including silent auction items as well as a percentage of all wine orders placed by patrons, went toward continued museum expansion and renovation of facilities. Despite a bit of an opening lull as guests arrived
and warmed to their first tastes of rosé, the Gala was a polished, lively and immensely enjoyable event. The table-based format did not just organize wines by purveyors (and thus regions), but intuitively managed the flow of tastings as the event grew busier. Adventurous and perhaps more boisterous drinkers could wait through line, approach the table and fully interact with and draw on the pourer’s knowledge and suggestions. This meant, for example, getting to taste seven different varieties of Bodega Catena Zapata’s wonderful Argentinian wines in one go while a brand manager talks you through the flavor notes and growing conditions of each bottle. Just as easily, however, one could duck the crowds, approach the side of the tables and get off with a taste of one or two of the wines on show. With more bottles being offered than any reasonable person could hope to make it through in three hours, it was nice to be able to slip in and out with a pour of that $99.99 a bottle 2005 Marques de Grinon “Emeritus.” Continue reading at www.readbuzz.com
