Corrections or suggestions?


Calo is like a good red wine...a really good Pinot, not one of those
common, thin ones.

Fresedo/Ray: pink Champagne, romantic, fun, a little sweet, not to serious.

De Angeles: tart white wine...Summer, maybe a little easy, not for
winter in front of the fire.

Canaro...hmmm, maybe more of a mellow Beaujolais.

Di Sarli: a spare, dry Bordeaux

Pugliese....Port, or single-malt Scotch?

Troilo.....Cognac?

D'Arienzo....Tequila or Rum?

Hello Tom,

Nice idea. Mine goes like this:

Tango - red wine
Waltz - champagne
Milonga - beer

It's a metaphor that seems to help new students anyway...

From Beethoven to the Rolling Stones, your favorite music is always playing

Milonga, beer? Make that apple cider, at least.

request from
Astrid,
a German who loves milonga, but is by far not as fond of beer

Hey Tom and Russell:

They are great descriptions
No mention of Piazzolla?

Well I think of his music like a really full bodied, complex red wine
With some Thunderbird and MD-20/20 mixed in (cheap fortified wine if your
not familiar with the names).

David.

I've got an OLCC server's permit & served wine for a friend's horse jumping show. Apparently red wine isn't chilled. That was news to me ;o) I do know I have to shove ex-Senator Bob Packwood out of the way to get at the boxed wine at the local supermarket. Guess I'll stick to beer, which pdx has lots of good microbrews. I prefer the modern breweries, some produce their own robust beers & others cover recipes that were done before the 50s, with splendid results...
