  • Specially Selected Wines
    Beaumond Cross Inn Restaurant with Rooms Specially Selected Wines 13 London Road Newark-on-Trent NG24 1TN 01636 703670 France | Languedoc & Mâcon Collin Bourisset t the crossroads of Burgundy and Beaujolais, in Crêches sur Saône, lies the rolling estate of A Collin Bourisset. As one of the oldest and most reputable houses in Beaujolais, Collin Bourisset is known for producing some of the rarest wines from the best vineyards in the area. Their goal has always been to extract the finest Beaujolais and Mâconnais wines from the region to bring out the true excellence of French wine. Each of their wines are selected with extreme care, to protect the identity of the soil and the authenticity of every Bourisset vintage. Above: The Vineyards of Collin Bourisset Below: Sauvignon Blanc History The story of Collin Bourisset began in 1821, where its unique location allowed the estate to source grapes from the best vineyards in the surrounding area. Soon, the name Collin Bourisset became synonymous with the production of some of the rarest wines in France. Throughout the years, the Bourisset estate has maintained this reputation. Particularly when, in 1922, it became the exclusive distributors of the acclaimed “King of Cru Beaujolais”—Hospices de Romanèche Moulin a Vent. Today, Collin Bourisset’s single grape wines are renowned for being some of the best of their kind. The skill and experience of the winery is known to capture the essence of each vineyard’s terroir, allowing the quality of the grape to shine through to create truly exceptional wines.

  • Have Some Madera, M'dear
    HAVE SOME MADERA, M’DEAR Story and photos by John Blanchette Quiet lanes flow through the Madera Wine Trail It was the July 4th weekend and I was headed into the Central Valley to visit Madera County and one of California’s oldest wine growing areas. The San Joaquin Valley can be blistering hot this time of year and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Temperatures soared to 105 degrees. As my car drove on Route 99, slicing through this wide, flat and fertile plane that stretches over 200 miles between Bakersfield and Stockton, crops and livestock passed my window like an expanded grocery market. Table grapes, sugar cane, corn, tomatoes, citrus, peaches, plums, apricots, strawberries, watermelons, pistachio, pecan, Cattle range in the shadow of Giant Eucalyptus www.aiwf.org SAVOR THIS • OCTOBER 2010 15 almond, pomegranate and walnut trees, pigs, cattle, sheep, and dairy cows, etc. in abundance. One farmer told me that the topsoil is unlimited and all they need is water to grow their crops. And that’s a major problem. The current draught has caused some farmers to let their fields go fallow. The city of Madera, located 38 miles from the geographic center of California, derives its name from the Spanish word for wood, which was harvested in the Yosemite Valley foothills and shipped from Madera to build San Francisco and other area communities in the 1800s. The Madeira wine produced on the Portuguese Vineyards run to the mountains island made famous by the bawdy English tune I was off to confirm this as I explored the Madera “Have Some Madeira, m’Dear” is just a coincidence.

  • La Jument De Michao
    La Jument de Michao Tri Yann XXe et XXIe siècle France 1976 Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3 03'42" Genre : Traditionnel / folklorique Thème : La Bretagne, Les animaux L’œuvre (ou l’extrait) : Le groupe Tri Yann enregistre ce chant traditionnel pour la première fois en 1976 dans son quatrième album La Découverte ou l’Ignorance qui deviendra disque d’or en 1979. Toujours à son répertoire, le groupe en propose des interprétations différentes au fur et à mesure de ses évolutions musicales. Selon les régions de France, on trouve différentes formes et variations de cette chanson traditionnelle. Sa version bourguignonne J’ai vu le loup, le renard, le lièvre est une parodie du Dies irae liturgique grégorien de la messe des morts au Moyen Âge. « Parodie » est entendue ici au sens d’un texte composé pour être chanté sur une musique connue (notion de timbre). Elle aussi connu sous le titre J’ai vu le loup, le renard et la belette comme ronde à danser. La Jument de Michao est la version bretonne de ce même chant. Elle remonterait au XIXe siècle. Auteur / Compositeur / Interprete : Le groupe Tri Yann an Noaned, littéralement « Trois Jean de Nantes », a fêté en 2011 son quarantième anniversaire. Tri Yann participe au renouveau et à la popularisation de la musique celtique et bretonne initiés par Alan Stivell en 1966. Des trois Jean en 1971, ils sont aujourd’hui huit instrumentistes (instruments traditionnels et/ou guitares électriques et électro-acoustiques, basses, claviers), et chanteurs. En 1976-1979, date de la création de cette interprétation de La Jument de Michao, les membres du groupe sont Jean-Louis Jossic, Jean Chocun et Jean-Paul Corbineau (les trois Jean), Bernard Baudriller et Jérôme Gasmi auquel succédera Gérard Goron.

  • “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of
    “Whiskey in the Jar”: History and Transformation of a Classic Irish Song Masters Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Dana DeVlieger, B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2016 Thesis Committee: Graeme M. Boone, Advisor Johanna Devaney Anna Gawboy Copyright by Dana Lauren DeVlieger 2016 Abstract “Whiskey in the Jar” is a traditional Irish song that is performed by musicians from many different musical genres. However, because there are influential recordings of the song performed in different styles, from folk to punk to metal, one begins to wonder what the role of the song’s Irish heritage is and whether or not it retains a sense of Irish identity in different iterations. The current project examines a corpus of 398 recordings of “Whiskey in the Jar” by artists from all over the world. By analyzing acoustic markers of Irishness, for example an Irish accent, as well as markers of other musical traditions, this study aims explores the different ways that the song has been performed and discusses the possible presence of an “Irish feel” on recordings that do not sound overtly Irish. ii Dedication Dedicated to my grandfather, Edward Blake, for instilling in our family a love of Irish music and a pride in our heritage iii Acknowledgments I would like to thank my advisor, Graeme Boone, for showing great and enthusiasm for this project and for offering advice and support throughout the process. I would also like to thank Johanna Devaney and Anna Gawboy for their valuable insight and ideas for future directions and ways to improve.

Quinn: Canton Ticino And The Italian Swiss Immigration To California Canton Ticino and the Italian Swiss Immigration to California by Tony Quinn “The southernmost of Switzerland’s twenty-six cantons, the Ticino, may speak Italian, sing Italian, eat Italian, drink Italian and rival any Italian region in scenic beauty—but it isn’t Italy,” so writes author Paul Hofmann1 describing the one Swiss canton where Italian is the required language and the cultural tie is to Italy to the south, not to the rest of Switzerland to the north. Unlike the German and French speaking parts of Switzerland with an identity distinct from Germany and France, Italian Switzerland, which accounts for only five percent of the country, clings strongly to its Italian heritage. But at the same time, the Ticinese2 are fully Swiss, very proud of being part of Switzerland, and with an air of disapproval of Italy’s ever present government crises and its tie to the European Union and the Euro zone, neither of which Ticino has the slightest interest in joining.

For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. Quinn: The Italian Swiss DNA The Italian Swiss DNA by Tony Quinn* DNA testing is the new frontier in genealogical research. While the paper records of American and European churches and civil bodies are now generally available on line, DNA opens a new avenue of research into the period well before the advent of written records. And it is allowing people to make connections heretofore impossible to make. Recent historical examples are nothing short of amazing. When the bodies thought to be the last Russian Czar and his family, murdered in 1918, were discovered, a 1998 test using the DNA of Prince Philip proved conclusively that the bodies were indeed the Czar and his family. That is because Prince Philip and the Czarina Alexandra shared the same maternal line, and thus the same mitochondrial DNA. Even more remarkable was the "king in the car park," a body found under a parking lot in England thought to be King Richard III, killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.
