There are 37 entries, and many feature the tea party from the classic book as well as the Cheshire Cat. In addition to gingerbread displays themed on Wonderland, entries also celebrate the holiday and winter season.

“It is always exciting to see how creative and imaginative people can be both in their use of edible materials and their detailed references to the theme,” said Larissa M. Murray, Springfield Science Museum director of education.

The annual gingerbread competition and exhibit meshes baking and creativity. It runs through Jan. 3.

Van Morrison taps Eric Clapton for anti-lockdown song

S

INGER VAN MORRIson continues to rail against COVID-19 lockdown measures, and his latest salvo is a song penned for Eric Clapton.

“Stand and Deliver” is due out tomorrow and the protest song is performed by the iconic rock star Clapton.

This is not the first instance of Morrison decrying government lockdowns in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.

Over the summer he openly railed against quarantines and called for concerts to resume.

“We need to be playing to full capacity audiences going forward,” the Northern Irish singer wrote on his blog.

The coronavirus has killed an estimated 1.4 million people worldwide and infected more than 60 million, according to the World Health Organization.

Health experts discourage large gatherings like concerts during the pandemic because the virus can spread through the air via respiratory droplets released when people talk, cough or sneeze.

The 75-year-old Morrison, known for hits “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Domino” and “Wild Nights” is asking supporters to lend their names to a list he will publish on his site at vanmorrison.com.

espite the current coronavirus pandemic, some holiday traditions will continue as in the past, but they may look or feel a little different.

One of those rituals, Christmas by Candlelight, is returning to Old Sturbridge Village tomorrow. The event has become a much-treasured tradition, creating family memories and holiday cheer for those who return year after year.

“Our annual holiday event will still be a very festive recreation of the past, and we’ve kept as many of the popular elements as possible and added new ones,” said Jim O’Brien, director of public events and performances at Old Sturbridge Village.

Last year’s Christmas by Candlelight attracted more than 27,000 visitors to the early New England village.

“Christmas by Candlelight has grown year after year. It is all about tradition and people making their own traditions.

Families have sent us thankyous and photographs of them participating in the event, and some have even shared scrapbooks they have made over the years of their good times at Christmas by Candlelight,” O’Brien said.

Christmas by Candlelight has been re-imagined during the pandemic with safety in mind by taking its many favorite activities outdoors.

‘Uncle Frank’ leads new releases

By Michael O’Sullivan

Washington Post

Set mostly in 1973, “Uncle Frank” centers on the relationship between 18-year-old Beth Bledsoe (Sophia Lillis of “It”), a naive but intellectually curious freshman at New York University, and her favorite uncle, the titular Frank (Paul Bettany), who is a professor at the same school. The death of the emotionally abusive family patriarch (Stephen Root) – Frank’s father and Beth’s grandfather – precipitates a road trip back to their repressive South Carolina hometown for the funeral, with Walid (Paul Macdissi), Frank’s partner of 10 years, along for the ride, despite Frank’s wishes. (Frank, who has only just come out to his niece, is still closeted to most of his family. To make things even more interesting, Walid is Muslim.) Despite some moments of nicely unforced comedy and just a pinch of melodrama – especially in the overly contrived reading-ofthe-will scene – this is a deeply poignant and beautifully acted drama of self-acceptance.

The three main roles feel fully inhabited by the talented Bettany, Lillis and Macdissi, and the supporting players – who include Margo Martindale,

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell star in “The Christmas Chronicles: Part 2.” (JOSEPH LEDERER/NETFLIX)

Judy Greer, Steve Zahn and Lois Smith – are all top-notch, as guided by writer-director Alan Ball. Sober-minded yet far from morose or preachy, the story of “Uncle Frank” is written with compassion for all its characters, no matter their flaws. (Well, almost all: The family patriarch, shown in a prologue and in flashback, is an unmitigated jerk.) As he demonstrated in “Six Feet Under,” Ball has an ear for how real families work, even when they don’t. R. Available on Amazon Prime Video.

Study predicts restaurant closures due to COVID-19

S

INCE THE EARLY days of the pandemic there’s been no lack of dramatic speculation as to how COVID-19 and related public health orders would decimate the restaurant industry.

Estimates last spring projected the eventual impact on dining out as resulting in closures of 10% to 50% plus of all restaurant locations.

However, now that we’re eight months-plus into the crisis, data is emerging that more soberly suggests the pandemic’s eventual impact.

A recent article in Nation’s Restaurant News, a periodical dedicated to the dining out industry, reported on analysis done by two independent financial research groups, New Jersey-based Kalinowski Equity Research and BTIG, a global financial services firm headquartered in New York City. The data and conclusions those two firms reported provide a still-bleak but not quite as catastrophic outlook on the industry’s future.

Kalinowski’s predictions are based on the day-to-day developments in the industry.

Very large chains, with deep pockets and plenty of resources, have been successfully pivoting to curbside, drive-thru, and digital strategies. Those chains have thus been able to limit their downsizing to the

When it comes to independents, Kalinowki’s estimates are that around 8% of such restaurants will permanently close. closure of a relatively small number of underperforming units.

According to Kalinowki’s analysis, smaller chains are likely to be hit harder, likely having to shutter around 4% of their locations before the year is out.

When it comes to independents, Kalinowki’s estimates are that around 8% of such restaurants will permanently close.

The analysis by BTIG focused primarily on restaurant cash flow, which the firm says has improved every month since April and, according

to their estimates, is now positive for many brands and operations.

Given such cash flows and even factoring in the partial shutdowns now being ordered, BTIC’s estimate of total restaurant closures this year is in what they term “the high single-digit range.”

• One problematic aspect of the pandemic-fueled growth in restaurant takeout and delivery is the mountains of single-use wrappers and containers that have been used. Food service operations struggling to survive had found themselves forced to be environmental “bad guys” in

the process.

A small New York Citybased startup, DeliverZero, believes it may have an answer to the food delivery waste problem. A third party restaurant delivery service with a business model similar to that of Uber Eats and its competitors, DeliverZero differs in that it only delivers restaurant food packed in reusable packaging.

Customers place their orders at DeliverZero’s website; the service currently has a roster of participating restaurants in Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan.

Individual accounts that tally the number of containers delivered are maintained for each customers, and recipients of DeliverZero can either drop off containers to be reused at a participating restaurant or hand over the

Celebrating 17 years of this column

HEN I STARTED this column almost 17 years ago to the day, I could not share it with you on social media platforms because outside of MySpace, there really weren’t any.

No Facebook. No Twitter.

No Instagram, etc.

There were some internet forums on which I could share it, but that was about it.

There wasn’t any chance of a column “going viral” because that concept had not really come into the vernacular yet.

Most people read the column in print. And while craft beer was on the rise (this was in 2003), there were still fewer than 1,500 craft beer breweries in the U.S. A decade later,

That will be a And that is what I try to do each week, to varying degrees real cause for celebration.

that number almost doubled to about 2,800, but even that mini-boom didn’t really foreshadow the past seven years in craft beer.

As I write this, there are more than 8,000 craft breweries now in the U.S., which is astounding in many lights.

As I’ve mentioned before in this space, one concern my editors originally had about committing to a weekly column dedicated to beer in a daily newspaper was about the sustainability of such an endeavor. But even back then, I felt confident that craft beer would provide enough fodder at least once a week for me to write about.

One thing I didn’t want the column to be was a “review” or rating of beers. I originally wrote about a particular beer (and still occasionally do), but only in terms of describing it

3 affordable, revolutionary Bordeaux wines

ORDEAUX WINES have a bit of a problem.

Sure, they’re world famous and adored by millions of wine lovers, including myself.

But when many people think of Bordeaux wines – especially red ones – certain words and misconceptions might come to mind.

Expensive.

Old fashioned.

Predictable.

Perhaps even a bit boring.

Add to that the fact that many people might think you have to wait years to open many bottles and it’s easy to understand why some consumers might be reluctant to buy them or only save Bordeaux wines for special occasions.

But the reality is Bordeaux is changing.

Yes, you can still find wines here that will age beautifully and taste great decades from now. But you can also find affordable, easy-drinking wines ready to open the same day you buy them.

Paulliac, Margaux and Graves.

More important, red wines grown here tend to be made predominantly with cabernet sauvignon grapes blended with other grapes.

Ken Ross Wine Press

And while Bordeaux may be world famous for its blended red wines, all three Bordeaux wines recommended this week were each made with a single grape.

But that’s just the beginning of what makes these wines so revolutionary.

One wine wasn’t aged in oak barrels.

Another wine doesn’t have sulfites.

The third wine was fermented in a stainless steel tank.

This is definitely not your dad’s Bordeaux.

And all three tasted terrific.

I hope you agree.

The three, Bordeaux wines recommended this week. (KEN ROSS PHOTO)

areas – the Left Bank and the Right Bank. The dividing line is the Gironde River. Wineries located on the southwest side of the Gironde River are on the Left Bank. Wineries located on the northeast side of the Gironde are on the Right Bank.

Bordeaux’s Left Bank The Left Bank of Bordeaux includes several famous subregions, including Medoc,

Bordeaux’s Right Bank Some of the best known subregions on the Right Bank include Pomerol, St. Emilion, Fronsac and Castillon. And instead of cabernet sauvignon grapes being the primary grape in most red blends, most winemakers here predominantly use merlot grapes.

New trends in Bordeaux Now that you know the basics about Bordeaux, be prepared to rethink the rules. A new generation of winemakers here are creating affordable red wines that challenge long-held perceptions about the region.

You’ll notice the difference starting with the labels. Most Bordeaux wines almost never mention the grape. Instead, the labels simply state the SEE WINE, PAGE E12

region or subregion where the grapes were grown – Medoc or Pomerol, for example.

Instead, this week’s wines prominently feature the name of the grape, just like wines from California, Argentina and many other places. Some of the labels themselves are more playful than most straight-laced Bordeaux labels.

There are definitely exciting things happening in the fields and the cellars in Bordeaux.

But it’s not just the labels that are revolutionary. These wines are fresh and fruit-forward in style. They feature different grape varieties and a more contemporary approach. In the past 20 years, the number of acres of secondary grapes such as petit verdot, carmenere and malbec have more than doubled in Bordeaux, from 3,684 to 7,887 acres, according to the Bordeaux Wine Council. And based on these three wines recommended this week, there are definitely exciting things happening in the fields and the cellars in Bordeaux.

grown – in limestone rich soil, the key to many great wines.

I am very impressed with the maturity of such a young wine.

2018 Hors Serie Malbec Grape: 100% malbec Tasting notes: This is the wine that probably comes as the biggest shock to most people. Malbec is not a grape many people associate with Bordeaux. Argentina’s Mendoza region and France’s Cahors region are renowned for their robust, earthy malbec wines.

But this jammy, voluptuous wine proves that Bordeaux can deliver big, ripe fruit flavors (especially plum) as well. Made without any oak aging and featuring a wooden label on the bottle, this wine was especially enjoyable the second day.

The ripe fruit flavors became slightly softer, and hints of raspberry emerged along with more toned-down plum flavors. However, the aroma of the wine remained fragrant and intense. This is the wine you want with a sizzling steak or other grilled meats. It is a real powerhouse.
