L’Ecole No 41 Washington State Wine Tasting

L’Ecole No 41 Washington State Wine Tasting
Wine Bar & Bistro

Wine for Pairing, Food for Sharing L’Ecole Number 41: 'Ecole Nº 41 is known for producing superior quality wines that are rich, flavorful and full-bodied. Our dedication to making premium varietal wines begins by obtaining the highest quality fruit. Recent vineyard investments and longstanding relationships with some of the most distinguished growers in the region have provided us with the viticultural management critical to fine winemaking.

No less important—and instrumental to our success—is our philosophy of traditional hands-on winemaking. We believe in harvesting ripe fruit. Our gravity fed crusher and gentle press operations limit the use of abusive pumps. Flavor and tannin extraction are further controlled by hand punch-downs during fermentation.

In combination, these techniques allow limited or no red wine fining and filtration. Our commitment to quality is exemplified by our membership in the Washington Wine Quality Alliance

SUM: Forty Tales from the Afterlives(Pantheon, $20)

Wednesday, July 8, 8pm
Books & Books, Coral Gables

SUM is a dazzling exploration of funny and unexpected afterlives that have never been considered–each presented as a vignette that offers us a stunning lens through which to see ourselves here and now.
In one afterlife you may find that God is the size of a microbe and is unaware of your existence. In another, your creators are a species of dim-witted creatures who built us to figure out what they could not. In a different version of the afterlife you work as a background character in other people’s dreams. Or you may find that God is a married couple struggling with discontent, or that the afterlife contains only those people whom you remember, or that the hereafter includes the thousands of previous gods who no longer attract followers. In some afterlives you are split into your different ages; in some you are forced to live with annoying versions of yourself that represent what you could have been; in others you are re-created from your credit card records and Internet history. David Eagleman proposes many versions of our purpose here; we are mobile robots for cosmic mapmakers, we are reunions for a scattered confederacy of atoms, we are experimental subjects for gods trying to understand what makes couples stick together.
These wonderfully imagined tales–at once funny, wistful, and unsettling–are rooted in science and romance and awe at our mysterious existence: a mixture of death, hope, computers, immortality, love, biology, and desire that exposes radiant new facets of our humanity.
About the Author
David Eagleman grew up in New Mexico. As an undergraduate he majored in British and American Literature before earning his PhD in Neuroscience. He heads the Laboratory for Perception and Action at Baylor College of Medicine, and is founder and director of the Initiative on Neuroscience and Law. At night he writes fiction.

Joint Venture for the Art in a Beautiful Neighborhood

Joint Venture for the art in a beautiful neighborhood
By Veronika Pozmentier for Premier Guide Miami

With the Public Library, the Miami City Ballet, the Bass Museum, the superb park and some iconic Art Deco buildings like the Plymouth Hotel (Anton Skislewicz, 1950) and the Governor Hotel (H.Hohauser, 1939) Collins Park neighborhood is one of the most beautiful, interesting and cultural neighborhoods in Miami Beach.

This area has endeavored an important development and in few months welcomed the Gansevoort Hotel, the D.Barton gym, the W hotel, the lounge club Aerobar and now next to Club Mokai a Walgreens Co.shop.

To keep up with an arty and cultural environment and integrate arts into all aspects of the area some important actors have join forces together and the Bass Museum the New World School of the Arts, the Collins Park Neighborhood Association and Miami Beach Arts Trust have entered an agreement to have the Bass Museum produce the Walgreens storefront windows.

Beginning June 2009, the storefront windows at Walgreens began featuring the work of talented young students from the Honors Program of the New World School of the Arts.

Gustavo Cervantes just graduated with a BFA Degree with a major in electronic media is the first to display his work. He took inspiration from the street while being in the Walgreen shop and came up with the idea for "Snapshot #1," that is a large-scale mural depicting a scene of a car crashing into a pole due to a distracted driver braking to look at a girl.

For 2009 students selected for this project are Gustavo Cervantes, Anthony Villasmil, David Garcia and Tatiana Vahan.

Silvia Karman Cubina, Executive Director and Chief Curator of the Bass Museum selected the works of the students and she will coordinate creative collaborations with the art students of prestigious institutions approximately four times a year.
"This is a great opportunity to showcase the young talent of Miami while integrating art into unsuspecting moments in the public's day to day lives" stated Cubina.

And for Maggy Cuesta, the Dean of Visual Arts of the NWSA "The collaboration between the Bass Museum and New World School of the Arts is vital for both of our institutions. The learning opportunities and the exposure to be associated with such an important institution as the Bass is infinite for our students, our visual arts program and our school”

So go shopping or window shopping at Walgreen on 23 rd Street and Collins Avenue to admire art and salute this interesting initiative of different players in the city for the sake of art and the art students from Miami.

Franciacorta, the best alternative to Champagne + Tasting Friday

Franciacorta, the best alternative to Champagne + Tasting Friday

What exactly is Franciacorta?
Don't ever call it champagne or spumante! While spumante generically refers to a sparkling wine, the name champagne can only be used by the wines produced in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France.

So, in Italy the painstakingly long and careful champenoise method of creating wonderfully complex sparkling wines with fermentation in the bottle, is called the 'classic' method. Franciacorta is the region where this method has been introduced and refined through the centuries. Today, classic method wines compete with champagne, even if their renown and distribution are still limited.

The saying in the Franciacorta region is "You don't count the years or the glasses..." The bottles, however, are counted it would seem, as the region reportedly produces 3.5 million of them a year, each made exclusively following classic methods. Franciacorta is made by the in-bottle fermentation of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot noir grapes. This is a process which lasts a full 25 months, during 18 of which, the wine is kept with yeast, which gives the wine its tiny-pearl and creamy effervescence, its rich golden color and greenish highlights.

Join us this Friday June 25 from 7.00pm to 9.00pm
Purchase of a $19 GoVino glass will get you in and out to complete your collection

In the opening pages of DIE FOR YOU, the reader is offered a window into the comfortable, happy life of successful novelist Isabel Raine and her husband, Marcus, a brilliant inventor of high-tech games. They live on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and seem to have an enviable relationship. However, when Marcus kisses Isabel good-bye one cold morning and walks out the door, he disappears forever. Afraid and confused, Isabel begins a desperate search for him, starting at his downtown office where she finds everyone dead. When she returns to their apartment, it has been ransacked and their bank account emptied. Soon she discovers that
her husband is not at all the man she thought he was. Marcus Raine – the real Marcus Raine – died years ago. Isabel has been living with a complete stranger.

How do we ever really know someone? How can we be so easily deceived by the person we see every day – and trust the most completely? How can a marriage you believe in be a sham? The story of Isabel’s relentless search for the truth about her husband – a search that ultimately sends her to Prague – is filled with psychological insight into the motives behind deceit and greed, not only for Isabel, but for her sister, Linda, whose own perfect marriage is not at all what it seems.

Lisa Unger has been lavishly praised by critics for writing thrillers that stand out from the pack with fully formed characters; powerful, elegant prose; and compelling insights into how families deceive themselves. With DIE FOR YOU, Unger is hitting her stride, and readers will know they are in the hands of a master storyteller.
