Dreaming II
De Meric
- 1999 De Meric Cuvée Catherine de Médicis
This is simply one of our best Champagnes at any price. [An allocation] of the tiny production of this wine goes to Gerard Boyer, the best restaurant in Reims and Guy Savoy in Paris, a Michelin three-star that is one of the top restaurants in the world. I have been lucky enough to have this wine on a few occasions and it is second to none [...] It is made exclusively from fruit grown in the Grand Cru of Ay, and is comprised of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay. The wine has exquisite texture from obviously low yields and almost 10 years aging on the lees. It has a very dense, rich Pinot Noir flavor but a delicate, lengthy Salon-like finish that shows off the quality of the Chardonnay.

- 2002 De Meric Cuvée Rene Millesime
[This fantastic Champagne] is made exclusively from biodynamic meunier from the village of Crouttes-sur-Marne in the western part of Champagne. [...] The color is a gorgeous light gold, with an amazingly compact and powerful bead. On the nose it is explosively spicy with caramel apple and freshly-toasted bread notes heading a long list of adjectives. On the palate it is savory, with a "more pinot noir than pinot noir" flavor that I found to be one of the most complex I have ever had. This is not shy Champagne, and I think it would be perfect to pair with foie gras or a rich pate on the most special of occasions for the smallest of parties! [...]

Ted Turner on Wealth
To drop out of that league, that was hard to do,” Turner said. “I’ve had the experience of being on top and riding the roller coaster down again, nearly to the bottom. You know, if you economize and don’t buy new airplanes or long-range jets, or that sort of thing, you can get by on a billion or two.

Listening to Raz Ohara and the Odd Orchestra
Raz Ohara and his Odd Orchestra return for their second album for Get Physical, II. It’s a warm, organic collection of avant-garde, open-hearted pop music which positively teems with life; a forest of pleasures and possibilities which you’ll want to lose yourself in indefinitely.
