New York City and Andreas Bergsland of Norway, as well as traditional Taíno solos by Chali’naru Dones and Vinny “Tata’niki” Iraheta. There also will be a new work by Henoch Spinola. Founded by Merli V. Guerra and Kimberleigh A. Holman in Boston in 2010, Luminarium Dance Company is an award-winning nonprofit contemporary dance company that is regularly hailed for its unique combination of dance and illumination. The company’s yearly public programs, workshops, and performances strive to illuminate aspects of our lives and the world we live in, through an engaging artistic lens. Guerra’s love of astronomy stems from her father’s work as an amateur astronomer growing up in Ludlow, where he would bicycle to Seymour Planetarium regularly to study astronomy. “When I was young, I thought it was normal to be woken up at 3 a.m. to climb
onto the roof with my father in the dead of winter to observe meteor showers. I’m thrilled, all these years later, to be using my skills as a performer and choreographer to celebrate Seymour Planetarium’s 85th anniversary as the oldest planetarium in the country, and to be returning to my family’s Western Mass. roots,” Guerra said. Among the pieces to be performed Saturday include “The Universe in My Tiny Hands,” choreographed and performed by Guerra at noon in the Seymour Planetarium; “Constellation Stories,” choreographed by Guerra and including seven performers at 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. at the Science Workshop; “Taino Solos,” created and performed by Chali’naru Dones and Vinny “Tata’niki” Iraheta at 1 and 3 p.m. in Habitat Hall; and “Celestial Gift,” created and performed by Henoch Spinola at 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. in Habitat Hall. “Constellation Stories” is
the show’s longest piece at 14 minutes. The theatrical dance work tells two stories of the Milky Way’s existence. From Estonia it tells the story of Lindu and her romance with the unpredictable Northern Lights, who is thrown into the sky to guide the birds in migration while her wedding veil (the Milky Way) trails forever behind her. From China, Vietnam, Korea and Japan, the story is told of the cowherd and the weaver (stars “Altair” and “Vega” in Western astronomy) who are lovers separated by a celestial river (the Milky Way), coming together just once a year when all the world’s magpies form a bridge and allow the two to reunite. “To help bring the story to life there are large wings that the dancers are wearing that have LED lights sewn throughout them to create the illusion of constellations in flight. And to enhance the Estonian myth of the wedding SEE CONSTELLATION, PAGE E4

ig Head Todd and the Monsters will play the Academy of Music in Northampton on Jan. 27.
With more than 3,500 shows under their belts, Big Head Todd and the Monsters have made the most out of the band’s 3 1/2 decades, earning praise from everyone from Robert Plant to the Denver Broncos. The band started out as a trio, Todd Park Mohr (vocals, guitar, keys, sax, harmonica), Brian Nevin (drums, percussion), and Rob Squires (bass, vocals). They were later joined by Jeremy Lawton (guitar, keys, vocals, steel guitar). Mohr says that it’s the community that music fosters that makes it all work. “Bringing people together and sharing joy for a couple of hours is an important function of music. Music can cultivate community, even harmony. We need that,” he said. For tickets, go to aom theatre.com. Liner notes • Taylor Swift dropped her latest album, “Midnights,” on Oct. 21. We may be only heading in the winter holiday season, but Swift is already hiding Easter eggs. Speaking on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Swift said she put so many Easter eggs — the term for hidden messages, references or jokes in a video — in her video for the song “Bejewelled” that she had to create a PDF file to keep track of them all. Swift said she didn‘t want to take such liberties with the first single, “Anti-Hero,” from her new album, ‘Midnights,” but that she wanted “to make a video that is just for the fans

Many of these ingredients and tools are already found in the average kitchen. “Homebrewing makes life more delicious and introducing friends and family to the joys of the hobby is a leading charge of the American Homebrewers Association,” said Julia Herz, executive director. “I challenge every homebrewer to help a first timer brewer on Nov. 5.” Hertz added that a bonus of brewing at this time of year is that your product is a great gift for the holidays.

HE 24TH ANNUAL Learn to Homebrew Day is Saturday. Is this the day you finally decide to try your hand at one of your passions? If you’re reading this column, I assume one of your passions is craft beer. The American Homebrewers Association is encouraging all craft beer enthusiasts to join the global community of homebrewing hobbyists, especially newcomers who are curious and who will be experimenting with their first batches of homebrew. Since 1999, the association has inspired tens of thousands of home fermentation hobbyists to join in the activities on the first Saturday in November. Each year, the association provides a recipe. This year’s recipe, Hoppy Amber Ale, is an extract-based homebrew concoction that is suitable for both beginners and experienced brewers. The quick and easy recipe yields 1 gallon and pushes the boundaries of American-style amber ale into hoppy India pale ale (IPA) territory. (For an in-depth walk-through on extract homebrewing, visit the American Homebrewers Association’s “How to Brew Tutorials.” A 3-gallon recipe is available as a video tutorial.)

Letters L, M & N of the A-to-Zs of wine Editor’s note: This article in the latest in a continuing series about wine terminology from A to Z.
T
HERE ARE A LOT of wine words that start with these three letters, especially the letter M: malbec; merlot; Medoc; and magnum, for instance. And while it’s not an official wine word, I think I speak for many of us when I say that the letter L stands for “love” when it comes to wine. OK, let’s not get too maudlin, another unofficial wine word. Let’s get serious and get right to the real wine words. Hope you enjoy. LETTER L • Lactic acid: A byproduct

of the malolactic fermentation (see Letter M) process used to make wine, lactic acid helps make wine taste smoother, soften and gives a wine a buttery finish; • Late harvest: A type of wine made with — you guessed it — grapes harvested later in the fall. Because the grapes are on the vine
longer and produce more sugar, late-harvest wines taste sweeter than most wines; and • Lees: Another byproduct of the wine fermentation process, lees are the dirt-like substance you find in some wine bottles and barrels. The list of well-known wine grapes that start with the letter L is very short. And, because there are so many grapes that start with the letter M, let’s keep this one relatively short. Although, I couldn’t resist adding a few obscure grapes that start with the letter L, courtesy of the wine reference book, “Wine Grapes” by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz. • Lambrusco: Red wine grape widely grown mostly in Italy’s Lombardy region. Also sometimes called “Lambrusca,” there are many distinct varieties of this grape; • Leon Millot: Red wine

McDonald’s test marketing Krispy Kreme doughnut connection
T
WO OCTOBER TEST market initiatives by blue-chip quick service brands have attracted considerable attention within the restaurant industry. Irvine, California-based Taco Bell has begun pilot testing a line of Mexican-inspired iced coffee drinks in two market areas, Philadelphia and Fresno, California. Available in three flavors — Mexican chocolate mocha, sweet vanilla, and dulce de leche — the new beverage items being tested are thought to be the chain’s potential first move into the lucrative cold coffee segment. They’ll be competing there with chains like Dunkin’ and McDonald’s McCafe beverage program. A second eye-opener is McDonald’s USA partnering with Krispy Kreme to offer the latter’s doughnuts in nine Louisville-area McDonald’s locations. A limited-time test, the
program offers three varieties of Krispy Kreme doughnuts sold either individually or in half-dozen packages. The doughnuts are delivered fresh daily from nearby Krispy Kreme production facilities and remain on sale as long as a restaurant’s daily supply of doughnuts lasts. Restaurant industry analysts see this partnership with Krispy Kreme as an effort by McDonald’s to drive more traffic to its restaurants and to reenforce its lucrative breakfast business. The morning day part at the Golden Arches has been under pressure recently, with competitors such as Wendy’s aggressively promoting breakfast programs of their own. By offering Krispy Kreme doughnuts as part of its breakfast program, McDonald’s could add a well-known, high-quality product to its morning line-up with little if any added operational com-

The doughnut sales tiein, if it continues, will also represent a win for Krispy Kreme, which will gain a large number of new outlets for its products and thus enhance overall productivity with little additional capital investment.

Left Bank wine villages and subregions include Medoc, Pauillac and Margaux; LETTER M • Maceration: Important step in the winemaking process when the skins and juice ferment together, giving a wine its distinct color, aroma and other good stuff; • Madeira: Fortified wine (meaning liquor has been added to the wine) similar to port originally from the Portuguese islands of Madeira. Made using a unique aging process involving heat, Madeira wines can cover a wide range, from complex, dry ones to sweeter ones sometimes used for cooking; • Magnum: A bottle of wine that’s 1.5 liters or twice the size of a normal wine bottle. The name comes from the Latin word magnum for “great” and has nothing to do with the 1980s television private detective played by Tom Selleck;

• A homebrewing video tutorial featuring five easyto-follow videos covering brewing basics with Julia Herz; • Trusted recipes, where you can browse tried-andtrue mead, cider, food fermentation, and homebrew
• Malolactic fermentation: Another important step in the winemaking process, it is the secondary fermentation process that takes place once the wine is placed inside barrels. This is when the harsh acids (malic acid) are turned into the soft, smooth acids (lactic acid) that make wine taste so good; • Methuselah: If you thought magnums were big, these bottles are huge! One Methuselah equals 6 liters of wine or the equivalent of eight normal wine bottles; and • Monopole: Wine that comes from a single vineyard owned by a single winery. As a result, such wines are very rare and often highly prized for unique flavor. There are a lot of grapes that start with M, so let’s get to them. • Malbec: Robust, popular, inky red wine grape made famous by winemakers in Argentina and southwest France, where the malbec grape was first discovered and is sometimes called “cot;” • Marsanne: White grape widely used in France’s Rhone region often to make blended, dry white wines; • Merlot: Important red grape widely-grown in France’s Bordeaux region, where it’s often blended with cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc to make great wines. Winemakers in Italy also often blend merlot with other grapes. You can also find many great wines made only with merlot from France, California, Washington and Argentina; • Montepulciano: Red grape often found in central Italy and frequently blended recipes; • Homebrew club locator to help you connect with homebrewers and find events in your area; • The AHA Forum, for asking questions and engaging with brewing peers on a variety of topics; • Marketing materials, where you can download free promotional artwork; and
with sangiovese grapes to make great, dry red wines. Don’t confuse the grape with vino nobile de Montepulciano, the name of a local wine in Italy. And you thought this was easy; and Mourvedre-Monastrell: Red grape known as either mourvedre or monastell and especially popular in France’s Rhone, Provence and Languedoc-Roussillon regions, where it’s frequently blended with other grapes (especially grenache and syrah) to make dry, earthy red wines. Popular wine regions that start with M include: • Margaux: Legendary village in France’s Bordeaux region located in the Haut-Medoc subregion. One of my favorite Bordeaux wine villages, Margaux consistently creates subtle, elegant, powerful red wines; • Marlborough: Wine-making village on the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island famous for its bright, refreshing, grassing sauvignon blanc white wines and lively pinot noir red wines; • Medoc: Large wine-making region on the Left Bank in France’s Bordeaux region that includes Margaux, St. Julien, Pauillac and other famous wine subregions; • Mendoza: Best-known winemaking region in Argentina, famous for its robust, red wines made with malbec grapes grown in the foothills of the Andes Mountains; • Meursault: Magical wine-making village located in the southern part of France’s Burgundy region best known for its earthy, ethereal white wines made • Brewers publications, where members receive 30% off all titles in conjunction with the holiday, from tomorrow through Monday. “The (homebrewers association) has been the go-to resource for all things fermentation since 1978,” Herz said. “Join us and our 37,000 members to be a part of, and help grow, the amazing community of homebrewers.”

da Forever” soundtrack will be released tomorrow. • Despite a bit of acrimony when he left the band almost three decades ago, former Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman, 86, said he’s on good terms with his former bandmates and gets Christmas presents from them every year. “Keith still sends me scented candles at Christmas. We all send each other birthday and Christmas presents. It’s still a family thing, social, not business, and it works really well,” Wyman told Classic Rock online. “It’s like distant relatives — you’ve got an Auntie Elsie and an Uncle Fred who are really charming, but you don’t want to see them all the time.” When Wyman announced he was retiring in 1993, bandmates Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts tried to convince him to stay and weren’t always nice about it. “Instead of being nice and saying, ‘Great 30 years. Cheers mate,’ Mick would say the most absurd, stupid things, with that spoilt attitude he had,” Wyman said. “He’d say things like, ‘Oh well, if anybody has to play bass I’ll do it. It can’t be that hard.’”
