Tina Fey, Amy Poehler teaming up for MassMutual Center show

Duo to celebrate 30 years of friendship with stories, jokes, conversation

By K eith O ’C onnor Special to The Republican

They both served as co-anchors of the popular news parody segment called Weekend Update on the NBC sketch comedy series “Saturday Night Live.”

Now Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who have long gone on to bigger and better things since leaving the show, are coming to Springfield as part of “Tina Fey & Amy Poehler — Restless Leg Tour” today at the MassMutual Center.

Presented by MGM Springfield, the show begins at 8 p.m.

The extremely limited tour, first announced in February, kicked off in April in Washington, D.C., with only three additional tour dates planned

in Chicago, Boston and Atlantic City. Additional dates through June were added after tickets quickly sold out, including their performance in Springfield.

The Restless Leg Tour is the duo’s first joint live endeavor as they celebrate 30 years of friendship with an evening of jokes, iconic stories and conversational entertainment.

During an appearance on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” another “Saturday Night Live” alum, Fey said their tour was inspired in part by the similar friendship between Steve Martin and Martin Short, who have also toured with their own comedy show.

As for the title “Restless Leg” tour, Fey said on the late night show that they were bouncing around names and Poehler mentioned “restless leg” and it stuck.

“The title didn’t make literal sense, but emotional sense,” she told Meyers. Fey, best known for

creating and starring as Liz Lemon in NBC’s “30 Rock,” also completed nine seasons on “Saturday Night Live” as head writer and cast member. She also wrote the screenplay for the comedy hit movie “Mean Girls,” which was subsequently adapted for Broadway, receiving 12 Tony Award nominations, and is currently in production as a new musical feature film for Paramount.

Her other projects include starring in “Date Night” with Steve Carell; lead voice in Pixar’s Oscar winning film,

“Soul”; co-creator of Emmy nominated Netflix original “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”; the Peacock series “Mr. Mayor” starring Ted Danson and “Girls5Eva”, which will launch its third season on Netflix. Fey’s memoir, “Bossypants,” landed on the New York Times bestseller list, where it remained for 39 consecutive weeks.

Poehler is best known for her starring role in Emmy-nominated NBC comedy “Parks and Recreation” and is currently the executive

producer and co-host of Peacock’s “Baking It” with Maya Rudolph. Other projects include co-creator, executive producer, and lead voice of Fox’s animated series, “Duncanville”; executive producer of Netflix’s Emmy-nominated series “Russian Doll”; Amazon’s “Harlem” and Adult Swim’s “Three Busy Debras.”

Last year, Poehler also made her documentary directorial debut with the Amazon Emmy-winning documentary “Lucy & Desi,”

GRANBY

Charter Days to celebrate history with family fun

By K eith O ’C onnor Special to The Republican

MUSIC, AMUSEment rides, plenty of food, and some good old-fashioned fun can be found at Dufresne Park this weekend as part of Granby Charter Days.

The annual event celebrates the town receiving its charter and becoming its own entity in 1768.

Free summer music series to light up downtown ’Hamp

MAYOR GINALouise Sciarra has unveiled this summer’s downtown music schedule for “Masonic Street Live!,” a new outdoor live music destination at Brewster Court, and the Northampton Summer Concert Series, funded and managed through a collaboration between the Mayor’s Office of Economic Development and the Arts & Culture Department.

Residents and visitors are encouraged to enjoy free live performances in the Masonic Street parking lot this month through the end of August. Northampton will present local artists on stage in the Masonic Street Parking Lot annex next to Iconica Social Club on Fridays from 6 to 8 p.m. On the schedule for live music is: tomorrow, Ray Mason; June 16, Henning Ohlenbusch; June 23, Eleanor Levine; June 30, Deep Seize; July 7, Ruby Lou; July 14, Heartman & Russell; July 21, Helen Hummell; July 28, Wooly Bully: All Vinyl

For more information, including upcoming schedules for all music venues, visit northamptonartscouncil. org

“I believe it is the smalltown atmosphere and beautiful park that attracts visitors to Granby Charter Days every year,” said Crystal Dufresne, chair of the event.

It all starts on Friday at 5 p.m. with the Mass Truck and Tractor Pullers Association Truck Pulls. Also, Fanelli Rides and Concessions will begin its three-day run with thrilling experiences for young and old, and plenty of cotton candy, candy apples and fried dough for sale.

On Saturday, the Granby Police will hold its pancake breakfast from 7-10 a.m., followed by a fishing derby at 8 a.m. and oxen pulls at 10 a.m.

“The Boy Scouts oversee the kid-oriented fishing derby and will be on hand to assist and provide all the rules. And to help with the catch, Dufresne Pond was just stocked with an additional 75 rainbow trout ranging up to 12 inches in size,” Dufresne said.

She noted Bwana Jim’s Wildlife Show, a favorite with festival-goers of all ages over the years, will return on Saturday only for a number of shows throughout the afternoon and evening.

“You never know what he is going to bring,” she said about a menagerie that includes reptiles such as snakes, alligators, turtles and other animals such as armadillos, wallabies and exotic birds.

Saturday ends with spectacular fireworks display at 9:30 p.m. by Pyrotechnico. Rain date for the colorful display is June 11 at 9 p.m.

There will be more garden and tractor pulls on Sunday at 10 a.m., as well as the Granby Wrestling 5K Fun Run/1 Mile Kids Run and Walk Fundraiser. For more information on the fund

Kölsch is perfect style for summer

NOW THAT WE’RE into June and the official start of summer is right around the corner, I thought I’d pay tribute to one of the best summer beer styles around: Kölsch.

Technically, this beer should be from the Cologne, Germany, area to use the name, but that’s a mere formality that U.S. brewers blithely ignore. The beer was created in that area as a way of challenging popular German lagers, which take longer to make.

But the funny thing about that is that although Kölsch is technically an ale (top fermenting), it’s really a hybrid, as the style is conditioned at colder temperatures like lagers are. This makes Kölsch a “lagered ale.”

But enough with the technicalities. Today’s column is a paean to the style.

For some reason, I don’t seem to often encounter the style here in the U.S. Maybe that is just the luck of the draw of where I live, but I’m guessing that for whatever reason, the style has never really caught on here to any great degree. This puzzles me because, as I said above, the style is so well matched to the summer months. It is light in both color and body and features a somewhat dry, crisp finish.

Fortunately, there are two Massachusetts breweries I love that both make a version of the style: Brick & Feather in Montague and Exhibit “A” Brewing in Framingham. Both breweries do a great job with the style, in my humble opinion.

We’ll start with Exhibit “A” Brewing’s version, named Goody Two Shoes. At a sessionable ABV of just 4.5%, this beer already gets high points as a summer refresher. It pours a crystal clear golden

hue, topped with a gorgeous white crown. The nose reveals some lemon notes and grassy aspects. The flavor follows suit, with a bit more hop character than I normally would expect, but nothing overwhelming or off-putting.

The bready malt structure morphs into the classic cracker taste that is associated with the style. The finish is clean and dry, and leaves you wanting another, which, again, at 4.5% ABV, should not be a problem.

Brick & Feather’s journey into the style, named Montague Gothic, is no less impressive. It’s slightly more alcoholic, coming in at 5.2% ABV, but that certainly is well within the range of the style.

The aroma has some attractive grainy and herbal aspects, which are also reflected in the taste. Despite its slightly higher ABV percentage, I felt it was a bit lighter in body than Goody Two Shoes. The cracker aspect is front and center here, and the hops add a touch of citrus, more lemony than orange.

As fitting the style, it finishes dry and crisp, with maybe a bit of malt lingering on the palate.

Both of these beers are worth seeking out, and both are good starting points if you’re not familiar with the style.

The A to Zs of Wine: Letters W, X, Y & Z

Editor’s note: This is the last article in a series about wine terminology from A to Z.

AS FRANK SINATRA famously sang, “And now the end is here.”

I started writing this occasional series of stories about wine words from A to Z in January 2022.

For those of you who have been reading along every few months, hope you have enjoyed learning about everything from Amarone (a type of Italian wine) to tannat (a type of red wine grape popular in Uruguay).

For the rest of you, it’s not too late to jump on the wine word bandwagon and learn about wine-related words for some of the most obscure letters in the alphabet. And yes, I’m talking about you, X and Z! So here we go. This is it. The last story in the A to Z wine word series. Hope you enjoy.

LETTER W

• Wine: Hey, it counts, right? The word “wine” starts with the letter W. So this word definitely counts in my book. However, I’m not going to go overboard and include every obvious phrase that starts with the word “wine,” such as “wine rack” or “wine label.”

• Wine of Origin: I included this particular phrase since it’s a bit more unusual than say “wine region” or “wine tasting.” Wine of Origin (often abbreviated as WO) is a phrase used in South Africa to describe where a particular wine

comes from in South Africa. Popular wine grapes that start with W

In a 1,242-page-long book called “Wine Grapes” about every possible known grape, there’s literally only one listed that starts with the letter W, which you can read about below and which I will freely admit I have never heard of in my life.

• Wurzer: Give anyone who has ever heard of this grape a standing applause. According to “Wines

Grapes” by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz, this obscure white wine grape found mostly in Germany is a crossbred between muller-thurgau and savagnin rose grapes created in 1932. You can also find 15 acres of this wine in England and four rows (yes, you read that right) of wurzer grapes in New Zealand. Who knew?

Popular wine regions that start with W

• Wachau: Well-established, wine-growing region in Austria best known for its dry white wines, especially

ones made with gruner veltliner or riesling grapes.

• Washington: This is a bit of a stretch since the state of Washington isn’t exactly a wine region. But they do make a lot of great wines in many parts of this state nestled in the Pacific Northwest.

• Western Australia: Like the state of Washington, Western Australia’s a bit of a stretch since it’s such a large area. However, this part of Australia definitely has many great wine-growing regions, including the Swan Valley, the Margaret River region and the Great Southern wine region.

LETTER X

• Xylem: I bet you thought I couldn’t find a wine word that starts with the letter X. Neither did I.

Xylem is the wood-like tissue in a vine that transports water from the vine’s roots to its leaves.

Popular wine grapes that start with X

• Xarello: There are

Spain’s Catalan region.

• Xinomavro: Red wine grape that’s widely planted throughout Greece and which produces dark, dense, delicious red wines.

• Xynisteri: White wine grape that’s the most popular white grape grown in Cyprus. In fact, nearly 1 out of 4 wines in Cyprus are made using Xynisteri grapes. Popular wine regions that start with X

I did my best but I could not find a single wine region that starts with the letter X. You can’t win them all.

LETTER Y

• Yeast: The organism that helps convert sugar in wine into alcohol during the wine-making process.

• Yield: The amount of grapes produced by a particular vineyard.

Popular wine grapes that start with Y

three grapes listed in the book “Wine Grapes” that start with the letter X. This particular white wine grape is mostly used to make still and sparkling white wines in

• Yamabudo: Like the letter X, there are three wine grapes that start with the letter Y, according to “Wine Grapes.” This particular red wine grape comes from Japan, where there are more than 300 acres of yamabudo

Taco Bell petitions to free trademark from ‘Taco Tuesday’

WHO OWNS

Taco Tuesday? A phrase that’s regularly been used by thousands of restaurants across America, “Taco Tuesday” is actually a trademarked bit of language that’s the property of Taco John’s, a Wyoming-based chain of nearly 400 quick-service Mexican eateries.

Taco John’s first applied for trademark protection for “Taco Tuesday” in 1989 after a franchisee had several years before coined the phrase while promoting an early-week, two-for-one deal.

Last month Taco Bell, the Yum Brands restaurant subsidiary that has more than 15,000 U.S. outlets, petitioned the United States Patent and Trademark Office to cancel that trademark status, “freeing” the phrase, as Taco Bell put it, “for all who makes, sell, eat and celebrate tacos.”

Taco Bell’s action might sound like a publicity stunt, but the chain says its petition is serious, asserting that “Taco Tuesday” has become so commonly used that it should no longer enjoy trademark status. As holder of the trademark, Taco John’s has regularly sent out “cease-and-desist” letters to unauthorized users of the “Taco Tuesday” tag line.

Regardless of the motives behind Taco Bell’s actions, trademark attorneys suggest Taco Bell has a strong case. Under U.S. law words or phrases that enter widespread usage, no matter who

first employs or registers them, become ineligible for trademark protection.

Taco Bell’s action hasn’t been all bad news for Taco John’s, however. Since the story of Taco Bell’s trademark challenge went viral, the Taco John’s chain has reported significant growth in its restaurant sales and a 25% increase in downloads of its app.

vines mostly in Southern Japan.

• Yapincak: White wine grape grown in Turkey mostly on the northern coast near the Sea of Marmara, which connects the Aegean Sea with the Black Sea.

• Yediveren: Red wine grape from central Turkey mostly used to make grape juice. Popular wine regions that start with Y

• Ycoden-Daute-Isora: Small (about 400 acres) wine-growing region on Spain’s Canary Islands that makes a wide variety of red and white wines.

• Yecla: Well-known Spanish wine-growing region famous for producing outstanding red wines made with monastrell grapes.

• York Mountain: Relatively unknown winegrowing region in Central California west of Paso Robles and closer to the Pacific Ocean. If you’ve ever had a wine from this part of California, odds are it was an elegant red wine made with pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon or syrah grapes.

LETTER Z

• Zymology: Technical term used to describe the science of wine fermentation.

Popular wine grapes that start with Z

• Zalagyongye: Surprisingly, there are actually quite a few grapes that start with the letter Z. This popular white wine grape can be found mainly in Hungary.

• Zengo: Another Hungarian white wine grape used to make highquality wines.

• Zierfandler: There’s a name that’s fun to say. This particular grape can be found in Austria and Hungary, where it’s often used to make sweeter wines.

• Zinfandel: Ironically, perhaps the best-known

red wine grape that starts with the letter Z isn’t listed under Z in the book “Wine Grapes.” Technically, zinfandel is called “tribidrag.” Good luck ordering a bottle of that next time you’re in a restaurant.

• Zweigelt: Along with zinfandel, zweigelt’s probably the best-known wine grape that starts with the letter Z. This particular red wine grape is widely grown in Austria, as well as parts of Germany, Hungary and Japan.

Popular wine regions that start with Z

• Zimbabwe: It’s a bit of a stretch since Zimbabwe isn’t a wine region. But I included a few other countries and Zimbabwe has been making wine since the 1960s.

• Zitsa: High altitude, wine-growing region in northwestern Greece best known for making sparkling wine.

• Znojmo: Small winegrowing region in the Czech Republic best known for its white wines made with gruner veltliner, riesling and sauvignon blanc grapes.

So there you go. Hope you’ve enjoyed this encyclopedic wine journey around the world. And hope to see you back here next week for more fun with wine.

Cheers!
