Our group will screen movies on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 10 am and 3 pm. As we reopen Four Seasons check the Daily Report. Regular members look for an email from me with info on our Classic movie showings. We will be showing Director Ron Howard's Cinderella Man. This movie is a true story of one man's extraordinary fight to save the family he loved. When America was on its knees, he brought America back to its feet. This is the truly inspiring story of James J. Braddock. His story is about more than boxing. It is about a man and his wife trying to raise a family in the tough times of the 1920s, and the integrity and example he shows his children in those times. During the Great Depression, former successful boxer James J. Braddock loses all of his possessions and savings with the crash of the stock market. His beloved wife Mae Braddock and their three children survive starvation and lack of heating and the daily difficulties supported by their love. In 1934, when James' Coach and Manager Joe Gould offers to him a chance to return to boxing, he becomes the symbol of hope for hopeless people in a ruined nation.

This May, as your Taste d'Vine Wine Club gears up for summer, we will be visiting a different varietal as a refresher course or a beginning course! We went to Thrillist.com to give you a judgment-free, non-pretentious explainer on every major white wine varietal. To help us navigate through these murky, off-white waters, they enlisted the help of Tracy Jenkins, the beverage director at Nicky's Coal Fired, a Nashville based Italian eatery with an extensive and exhaustive wine list. Chardonnay: You know, a lot of people consider Chardonnay to be a safe bet, something light and easy and comfortable," Jenkins said, "But in reality, it's a lot more full-bodied and aggressive than you may think. And the profile can also vary greatly depending on the region. There's a lot to be considered, here." Chardonnay is thought by many to be "standard" white wine. On the whole, it will usually be fruity, velvety, and full. But American Chardonnay will typically be creamy, and more "buttery" than blends that come from the Burgundy region of France. For what it's worth, an "unoaked chardonnay," meaning not aged in oak barrels, will often have a much lighter body, and carry some stronger, fruitier flavors that might be absorbed during the process. Best foods to pair it with: New-school, American Chardonnay will definitely pair well with anything creamy, along with seafood and lightly seasoned chicken or pork dishes. Take care all; we look forward to getting together soon. For info, please contact Gracy Luna (951) 292-3624. ~ Gracy Luna Taste d'Vine
