Please the Palate
If it seems like I open these wines a lot, it’s true. Guilty as charged. Because they’re GOOD. And, you can afford to. What better two reasons? Realized I hadn’t even touched my 19’s yet. Another stellar year–according to people who rate these things–only graded slightly under yet another VINTAGE OF THE DECADE: 2018. Surprisingly, WS has only rated TWO vintages under 90 in the past 20 years…

Dandy Generation Recap
Ava Mizrahi was the result of an unwanted pregnancy after her mother (Sofia) was assaulted.
Tumblr media
Desperate to give her daughter a better childhood then she had, Sofia ran away to Oasis Springs to raise her daughter as a single mother.
Tumblr media
For the first 3 years of her life it was just Ava and her mother until Jamal Donnelly entered their life.
Tumblr media
She was 6 when they married and 10 when Jamal (aka con artist Jameson Reed) was arrested and they divorced.
Tumblr media
The trauma of the divorce created a hard edge in Ava that some might call cold-blooded and made it difficult for her to make and keep friends outside of the snobbish and mean Nancy Landgraab.
Tumblr media
While her mother and half-brother coped with the divorce in their own way, Ava poured herself into her education and was eventually asked to tutor a failing student (Kyle Kyleson) who managed to quickly work his way into her heart.
Tumblr media
Despite Ava's affinity for distrust, she said 'yes' when he asked her to marry him and they moved to San Sequoia where he grew up.
Tumblr media
But they are still young and there is still much they have not worked through.
Other Side Plots...
Ava's mother Sofia remarried her childhood best friend, Nikolas,  the year after Ava and Kyle married. Nikolas is the closest thing to a true father figure Ava has ever had. He was the first person to meet her when she was an infant, gave her treats as a toddler, was her confidant as a child and he was the one she asked to give her away when she got married. As a detective it was Nikolas who learned the truth about Jamal/Jameson and arrested him and it was him who Ava and Thomas would call in emergencies. He was also an unofficial caretaker for Ava's sick biological father, Mathias who passed away shortly after Ava met him.
Tumblr media
Ava's uncle Stefan (Sofia's twin brother), currently lives in Mt. Komorebi and is believed to be a caretaker for his mentally ill companion Esteban who was not allowed to fight in the Sulani war due to his 'illness'. The family does not know the full truth which is that Esteban was deemed 'mentally unfit to fight' after telling the recruiters that he and Stefan were in a relationship. Though not legally married in most worlds they have privately preformed an old Salvadoradan marriage ritual and consider themselves eternally bound.
Tumblr media
Nancy Landgraab is Ava's closest friend despite their tense relationship. They met in Oasis Springs as children and despite a tense start realized that they were the only ones who could stand one another and to some extent understand each other. Nancy has always had a poor opinion of Kyle causing tension that led to a fist fight and Nancy getting suspended from Copperdale Academy.
Tumblr media
Kyle comes from a very close family that shares everything. He lived with his older sister, Jennifer, while attending Copperdale Academy, but continued to keep his parents in San Sequoia informed on his life, including his romance (something Ava was not too happy about). Kyle's dad Evan works for a computer company and has helped Kyle get a job in the company while his mom Glenda is a rather religious recycle disciple.They are very involved in the San Sequoia Community.

Ways to Be OPTIMISTIC In LIFE.
Cougars are one of the biggest kitties in The United States and Canada, second in dimension just to the cat. I have actually noted the best preferred activities however there is plenty additional to perform whilst yourbeautybody.info vacationing in the Alagarve. The hill AVAs average 600-2000ft 182-609m); the best wineries rest at around 2,600 feets 792m on Atlas Top. A crossbreed bike is a bike that is actually probably best referred to as a great all rounder", certainly not as swiftly as an ethnicity bike and certainly not as tough as a mtb however perhaps the very best trade-off for standard biking. One interesting top to visit is the Chomolhari Mountain which supplies an encouraging mountain range trek adventure. Ben Lomond is a mountain range near the city along with magnificent sights at 1748 meters up along with a keep track of that can have about 5-6 hrs to walk thus an excursion there is going to use up your whole time yet the 360 level sights from the area are worth that. The Skyline Gondola uses wonderful views if you 'd rather certainly not stroll a lot of, and there are monitoring decks on top of the experience to absorb the landscapes. Allow's experience it, the brewer is actually certainly not the cash creator or profits motorist for Keurig Environment-friendly Mountain range; the money resides in the K-cups. Resting at his work desk at Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument headquarterS, Brad Powell, building manager, tries to summarize just what has happened on the post-eruption mountain. Besides one brief deter at Watcharitan waterfall we steered directly from Chiang Mai to the peak of the mountain. Ballinger approximated there were actually greater than 200 mountain climbers as well as an identical variety of sherpa hill resources on the north skin when the quake reached, as well as he commended China's speedy decision to abort attempts to scale the peak. Ironically, however, the main thing that damages a correct, all-natural hot spring is when way too many people learn about it, and so a ton of individuals often keep their sites a trick. There are actually many people that attempt to climb Ben Nevis (the greatest mountain range in Scotland), Snowdon (the highest hill in Wales) and Scafell Pike (the greatest mountain in England). On the mountain bicycle, there are simply 9 independent gearwheel ratios from 21 velocities. Years ago this Northerly aspect of the Drakensberg mountain chains, was the field route for the ox-wagons visiting Delagoa Gulf, or the right now Maputo. There is likewise less oxygen at high elevations.Several other forms of pets and also vegetations found in the hill biome were actually left behind with the melting from the ice slabs as they pulled back north in the end of the final ice age.

Besides going up shoes, you will definitely also should utilize other hill climbing up equipment such as handwear covers, ropes, harnesses, belay gadgets, shelfs, karabiners, headgears in addition to centers, ATC and headlamps and also many more products which you will perhaps choose baseding upon your requirements. Later on, the Yucatan pub, in the cardiovascular system from the resort in Bahnhofplatz, is the emphasis of Engelberg's sensibly tame apres-ski action, along with gathering evenings at the Spindle Nightclub disco The Dream Lifestyle Club, at the Central Hotel, is additionally a preferred spot. Put up on the mountain range in between 1955 as well as 1971, the foundation's projectiles offered to secure New york city Area air space, on call to intercept atomic armed Soviet bombing planes. Mount Fuji is actually the existing greatest hill in Asia, standing at 3,776 metres (12, 389 feet ). Fuji is categorized as an energetic stratovolcano, or complex volcano.

Spring Forward
Always excited to try the new releases from this producer, and while the cab and chard are direct-hits, it’s the Riesling that really gets me slobbering in anticipation. No longer an un-sung hero of dry California versions of the variety, I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a true wine-dork who isn’t familiar. It’s a pretty small group: with Navarro, Husch, Tatomer and Maidenstoen representing…

Kennyy選曲コメント (Kennyy’s comment for Robin’s Egg Blue):
2014年春に私ケニーがボストンからNYCへ移居して来て直ぐにアメリカ人の現在は日本で国際音楽エンタメ系の仕事をしている我がボストン時代からの親友の紹介で日系のロックバンド達(The RicecookersやThe Astorplace、GELATINE/ゼラチン 等々)との対バンのギグで出逢ったロビン。その年の夏からこのアルバム ・ サークルフィールドがリリースされ翌年の夏にロビンが日本ツアーへ出たりする頃まで個人的に一緒に活動したりしてました。
--
(First time I met with REB was when I moved in NYC from Boston back in spring 2014, and was introduced by my American best friend, who currently works in Japan for an international entertainment agency. It was all-Japanese-band gig in lower Manhattan (*the bands are above). Since then upon the next summer after REB went on Japan tour with their debut full-length album “Circlefield,” I was kinda working with them together as a show manager, video-photographer, and liner-notes writer, etc. (Most importantly, they were, for me, my label HEARTRICK Records and our collective common-unity MELTRO Bridge co-founders back then.)         
ラジオ本編ではあまりお話しできなかった裏話として。
(Off-radio-record talk below)
「サークルフィールド」をロビンが作り込んでいた2014年夏、プライベートでは一緒にロビンの二人と仲間でフェスなどへ遊びに行って、アルバム制作中の裏話として「次の作品まだ聞かせれないけど、ケニーは絶対好きだよ!」ってフェスから帰るサブウェイの中で話してくれていたのを昨日のことのように覚えています。
--
(When they were in the term of creating “Circlefield” in the summer 2014, privately we hung out to like Celebrate Brooklyn and SummerStage then they secretly sneaked peak me out that saying “Kennyy, you’ll love our new record, def!” which I still remember the moment...preciously.)
「サークルフィールド」のCD盤のライナーノーツは私の音楽ジャーナリストのキャリアの中でも特に思入れの強いお仕事でして。魂の籠っている執筆であり作品なので 、 もしお気に召した方はロビンのオフィシャルショップのみで入手出来ますので手に取って頂きたい。それぐらいの一家に一枚、永久保存の名盤です!!( * みんなで一緒にDIY/DITで作り上げていた作品で 、入稿ギリギリでもあったので校正の余裕もなくめっちゃ誤字脱字があるままプリントされてしまったのが心残りですが…苦笑 それも作品の味ということで、ぜひとも。笑)
--
(So their is my written-up liner-note included in the Japanese CD version of “Circlefield” and this project was one of the most and so much strongly considerable and memorable feeling under my music journalist career. Therefore, if you’d like their song “They Do, I Do,” please buy the CD for your music collection forever. )
プロデューサーでもあるGt.マーシーさんがエンジニアさんと最後に作品のマスタリングをしている間、僕も寝ずに必死にこのライナーの執筆をしてて入稿して、アートデザインをするVo.Atsumiさんがそれを読み上げた時、感動して泣いてくれたことも僕の音楽ライター人生で一生忘れられないことでしょう。
--
(While REB producer and guitarist Massy-san and their friend recording engineer were finishing up the record mastering in the REB studio, me and singer and art-designer Atsumi-san were also working on as well as all sleeplessly. Then she was actually crying for my liner-note writing up, which I’m never be able to forger in my career...)
そして、”They Do, I Do”はAtsumiさんが日本へツアーした時に感じたことを歌ったちょっと日本のソーシャルノームを皮肉った歌だそうです。ロビンはサークルフィールドを作る前の夏にはSummer SonicのステージにRoth Bart Baronたちと立ったそうです。そんな風にサークルフィールドが広がっていくのは彼女たちの音楽らしいな、と我ながらNYCでできた大事な友人仲間としてとても嬉しく思います。
--
(The song I chose “They Do, I Do” was in fact written about a time when they previously went on Japan tour and played such as one of the biggest music fest in Japan called Summer Sonic shared the stage with Roth Bart Baron and some newcomers, Atsumi felt kinda ironical Japan’s social norm. However, their ‘circlefield’ has been spreading and literally circling moreover since then in which I’m so happy for them so as of them my greater friends and fellows in music world.)

Yusuke選曲コメント (Yusuke’s comment for Brown Rice Family): 
私は2015年1月にBowerly Electricというベニューで対バンさせていただいて以来Brown Rice Familyの大ファンであります。その後もBlue Note New YorkやBrooklyn Bowl、Japan Dayなど、ライブに足を運んでは毎回ハッピーにさせてもらっております。今回選曲させていただいた「Brown Rice Radio Station」を始め「Latin goes ska」「Do what you wanna do say what you wanna say」などBrown Rice Familyの楽曲はどれも「踊らずに��いられない。」「体が自然と動き出してしまう。」曲ばかりです。
--
(I’ve been a huge fan of BRF since I played a show with them for the first time at Bowerly Electric back in January, 2015. Since then I’ve seen them many times at such as Blue Note NY, Brooklyn Bowl, or Japan Day, every time I see them live I get so much happier than ever in live music experience. From my selected tune “Brown Rice Radio Station” at this time to “Latin goes ska,” “Do what you wanna do, say what you wanna say” etc, their songs are all “unpredictably must dance with” -or- “can’t just stand up without dancing” tunes as you realize!)
今回選曲させていただいた「Brown Rice Radio Station」に関しては楽曲はもちろんのこと、ミュージックビデオも逸品です。「天気のいい日曜午後2時くらいにビール片手にまったり聴きたい。」そんな曲です。

(So you better off seeing all their Music Video starting from the “BR Radio Station” on YouTube first, and it must be best fit on “Sunny day Sunday afternoon 2pm with a beer in chillin-up.” )

Kennyy選曲コメント (Kennyy’s comment for Ava Luna):
Ava Lunaのメンバーとはもう長く、ドラムのジュリアンの出身地がボストンの隣町で僕がボストン時代初期にホームステイしていた町だったり、放送でも話しましたが、彼の昔のバンドのQuilty (*クウィルティは現在はSpeedy OrtizやソロプロジェクトSad13のフロントウーマンのSadieとの大昔のバンド)で彼らと出逢ってから、その後ジュリアンがブルックリンでこのアヴァルナに加入して2011年ごろにToro Y MoiやUnknown Mortal Orchestraとのツアーショウのボストン場所@Paradise Rock Clubで初めてライヴを観てこのサーヴィスEPとその一作前のアルバム"3rd Avenue Island"のコ��ボ12インチヴァイナルレコードを物販で手にしてサインして貰って以来の仲です。超長い(笑)
--
(It’s been a quit long since I first met with Ava Luna. Drummer Julian is originally from Newton a town next to Boston where I was also living with an American family  first moved in the city, so familiar! And when I first met him, he was in another band Quilty (with Sadie, currently the front woman of Speedy Ortiz and Sad 13), and later he joined Ava Luna and I saw their live for the first time was at Paradise Rock Club in Bos toured with Toro Y Moi & Unknown Mortal Orchestra in 2011? Then I got thier first 12″ vinyl of the “Service EP” and “3rd Av Island” combo record and asked them autographed it! haha.)
彼ら自身もバンドとしてもここのアーティストとしてもキャリアはとても長く、最初期は"Ava"という名義でメインボーカルのカルロスのソロプロジェクトだったんじゃないかな?その当時はジュリアンのプライベートとインディレーベルCooling Pie RecordsからCD-Rでアルバムを2枚くらい出してAva Lunaに改名し、メンバーも流動し、当時のメンバーの ナーサンが日本好きだったりってことで日本絡みのタイトルの新作が出てたり(笑)と、小ネタが満載なのですが。音楽的には、海外レビューでは最早「最新型R&B」なんて揶揄されているくらい、放送でも話した通り超多彩でミクスチュアルなサウンドと昨今のライブではそのサイケデリックなアプローチが魅力です!
--
(I think their artistic careers are quit long, and I also guess Ava Luna firstly started as singer Carlos’s solo project as “Ava”? Then, Julian had his own DIY record label Cooling Pie Records putting CDr stuff mostly and Ava/Ava Luna put out more than 2 early recording albums? Some members switched to their current line-up, however, notably since  former keyboardist Nathan has been to Japan before, they have released a new self-released b-side album named a Japanese train station name “Takamatsu Station”.  *You can see the behind-the-scene: https://avaluna.bandcamp.com/album/takamatsu-station)

・最初期の音はCooling Pie Recordsのバンドキャンプより:https://coolingpierecords.bandcamp.com/album/tales-of-a-new-york-city-pedestrian
そして最後に、アヴァルナの日本のレーベルさんTugboat Recordsも素敵な世界中のアーティストを抱えてて、その中でもBaths(バース)という上記ロビンとの出会いでお話しした私に親友がバースの幼馴染だったりで彼に初来日公演でお仕事したり私も当時インタビューさせてもらったりで、お世話になっているレーベルさんなのでアヴァルナも是非来日させてほしい!とずっとメンバーと話してるんですが。いつか実現出来る時には是非ともツアーマネジャー希望します!(笑)それぐらい大好きな長い付き合いのブルックリンの友達のバンドです。最近、全然会えてないのが残念。
--
(Lastly here, so Ava Luna has debuted their Japanese edition CD records with their latest two albums out on Tugboat Records in Tokyo, whom is having awesome artists around the world such as LA’s Baths or Brooklyn’s Computer Magic, etc. And since my best friend, whom I mentioned of Robin’s Egg Blue’s description above is a childhood friend of Baths, we’ve worked for Tugboat before, however, they haven’t brought Ava Luna yet, which we’ve been dying to hope them to! haha. Well, that’s one example of our good relationship between me and Ava Luna but I’m a lil sad since I haven’t seen them much for a long lately!)

Yusuke選曲コメント (Yusuke’s comment for J.S. Onca):
J.S. Oncaと私の出会いは2014年秋のこと。私がリーダーを務めるジャズカルテット「Yusuke Seki Quartet」のマンスリーライブが一本決まり、「もう一本マンスリーライブができる場所はないだろうか。」とニューヨーク中のライブをやっているバー、レストランなどを営業回りしていたところ、West4ストリートの老舗の楽器店「Music inn World instrumental」の入り口に毎週水曜日に開���しているオープンマイクの告知用フライヤーを見つけたのです。私はその場で『オープンマイクをやっている。=ライブができるスペースがある。』と考え、お店の扉を開けて、その場にいたメガネをかけた不思議な雰囲気の店員さん(ラモス)に話をいたしました。冷たくあしらわれて終わりだろう。という私の予想を裏切り拍子抜けするほど話はトントン拍子に進みその場でマンスリーライブが決定いたしました。そんなマンスリーライブのマネージメントをしてくれることになったのがこのお店で働いていたギターリペアマン、J.S.Oncaだったのです。
--
(Back in Fall 2014 I met J.S. Onca very randomly. When my leader band “Yusuke Seki Quartet” first got a monthly gig, we wanted one more monthly gig and were looking around bars or restaurants in NYC then found a flyer about Open Mic Wednesdays at legendary shop “Music Inn World Instrumental” in the entrance. I slightly thought they have a live space so asked one of the clerks Ramos then but also thought they don’t much care about me as stranger. However, our monthly gig there got set up by the live booking manger who was him J.S. Onca. And he’s also a guitar tech man there!)
J.S.Oncaはハワイ生まれ、ニューヨーク州ロングアイランド育ち。高校卒業後、音楽大学に進んだ彼はジャズギターを専攻。卒業後ロックやHip Hopなど様々なジャンルの音楽を経て中央アジアからアラブ、アフリカにかけての国々の民族音楽へとたどり着きます。今現在はシタール奏者としても活動しており「Song Bird」からはそんな彼が歩んで来た「音楽の旅路」を垣間見ることができるのではないかと思います。
--
(J.S. Onca was born in Hawaii and raised in Long island in NY state. After he graduated high school, he went to a music college to majoring jazz guitar. After college, he played through Rock or Hip Hop or many other genres, ended up musical essences through Central Asia to Arab to Africa world music to play more. Nowadays he’s also a Sitar player so that his song “Songbird” feels really that his roots he walked through in his musical journey which you literally can see through, I’m pretty sure.)

Day 51: Conrad --> St. Mary, MT
Ride Group: Ava, Sang, Brian, Spencer, Jer Bear
Miles: 96
It was by far one of the coldest mornings. We woke up to find out that in the middle of the night our bikes blew over from the hurricane winds. People were sleeping in their hammocks and had to deal with that... RIP to my pillow. Sad. We got up an hour early because the pastor told us it would be a long day, and we would probably want to go hike or something once we got there. There was a very cold headwind in the beginning of our ride, but my legs were feeling good. We had some climbing to do, and then it started to warm up. The first water stop had some really nice views of the Tetons and the second, of Glacier’s mountains. We actually made it this far. On our bikes! We spent a good amount of time in the town Browning, took several bathroom breaks. Once we finally got out of there, the views started to come in! Brian and I were climbing buddies and we really pushed ourselves. Before lunch we jumped into a glacial spring... it was chilly. That’s where Spence 4K baptized me. I’m not sure what that means, but it seemed necessary. The views at lunch were incredible, and then we had our big climb, and we killed it. It was so much fun cheering on Spence and Ava, and then Jer and Sang. We made sure we made time for a dance party at the top before bolting down the mountain to see some of the most amazing sights I have ever seen going into St. Mary. Then we arrived at the campground where we hung out by the fire and played Cheers to the Governor. We stargazed and I predicted some horoscopes for Ava and Spencer that I’m sure will come true.

Riesling
One of those wines from the first sniff you’re just like, Come on, man! Absolute perfection in the glass, from the clear, legal-pad glow to the piles of petrol and grassy lychee in the nose. A dustiness coats the diesel, smoothed with banana-peel and citrus so mild it barely registers a vote. Rich and almost oily in bouquet, it still portrays the sort of clairvoyance few wines possess. As is…

Well, this is pretty gorgeous, NGL. But I will say again–as more and more of these show up on the shelf heavily discounted all over–be cautious about buying gobs anything pre-2000, especially not-straight cab. They’re good, sure, but need to be drank and enjoyed, as most are feeling tired. With that said, I have not ran into the 97’s rumored to be out there, and that could be an outlier. Here we…
