If you are a fan of not just tasting the Nouveau Beaujolais, but also of going to all of the celebrations around it, then you might have a quieter time this year. But that does not mean you can’t try something new and fun.
Union Wine Co. has recently released their vision of Nouveau Beaujolais in bottles and cans. It is called “Underwood Nouveau.”
The label design tells you a lot of what you need to know about the concept. It is influenced by the French school of Art Nouveau, which honors the elegant natural lines and curves found in plants and animals. Underwood Nouveau uses the peacock’s specifically, which one can say also adds a bit of luxury to the packaging and experience.
One thing to remember about Nouveau Beaujolais is the word “Nouveau.” This means “new,” and in the case of Nouveau Beaujolais it also means ‘brand new.’ As in ‘young.’ This wine is young and not usually aged for very long. Underwood has gone one step further and created their version to be super fresh. As they explain, “our Nouveau takes just over a month — from pick to sip.” The resulting wine is light, fruity and vibrant with 13% ABV.
Union Wine also explains about their choice of grapes. “Our Underwood Nouveau is a riff on a Beaujolais Nouveau, which is traditionally made from Gamay grapes (also called, Gamay noir à Jus blanc grape) in the Beaujolais region of France. Always looking for an Oregon angle, we decided to use our Pinot Noir grapes in the Underwood Nouveau for a fresh take on our traditional Pinot noir. The Gamay grape is actually a cousin of the Pinot Noir grape and flourishes in very similar climates.”

In her new book, The Catskills Farm to Table Cookbook, she captured in breathtaking photography not only great recipes, but also features local specialty farms, farmers markets, and top restaurants. She brings it all to the reader to enjoy from their home kitchen.
Courtney shares with us her Catskills-apple inspired recipe for Upside-Down Apple Pie, from The Catskills Farm to Table Cookbook.
Upside-Down Apple Pie
Serves 12
Ingredients
For the Glaze:
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon corn syrup
¼ cup pecan halves
For the Crust Pastry:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup lard
4–6 tablespoons ice water
For the Filling:
⅓ cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
½ teaspoon cinnamon
4 cups sliced, peeled apples
Directions
In a 9-inch pie pan, combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup, and mix well. Spread mixture evenly in bottom of pan and arrange pecans over mixture.
To create pastry, combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut lard into flour with a pastry blender or fork, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle water over flour mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, while tossing lightly with a fork until dough is moist enough to form into a ball. Divide in half. Shape each dough into a ball and flatten into a ½-inch thickness, rounding the edges. Place bottom pastry over mixture in pan, gently pressing to fit pan.
Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon; mix well. Arrange half of apple slices in pastry-lined pan; sprinkle with half of sugar mixture. Repeat with remaining apple slices and sugar mixture. Top with remaining pastry. Fold edge of top pastry under bottom pastry and press together to seal edges. Cut several slits in top of pastry.
Bake at 425°F for 8 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F and bake an additional 25 to 35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Loosen edge of pie and carefully invert onto serving plate. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

You can’t go wrong with a groovy ballad, and Meet Me In The Sky by Kandace Springs is definitely all that!
This song was one that helped catapult indie-singer and YouTube prodigy Kandace Springs to fame. She performs it live in studio with crooner Daryl Hall, on his television series, “Live from Daryl’s House,” for cable channel AXS TV.
About Kandace Springs
Per Wikipedia: “Kandace Springs was born in Nashville, Tennessee, United States, in 1989. Her father Scat Springs was a session singer in Nashville. She has two sisters. At the age of ten she started following piano lessons. She grew up listening to jazz and soul singers like Nina Simone. She was noted for performing Sam Smith’s Stay with Me on the internet. She moved to New York City to work with Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers. She believes that music can touch people, spread a message, keep the world sane.
In 2014, she released her self-titled debut EP for the jazz label Blue Note Records. It was produced by Pop & Oak. Love Got in the Way was her first music video. She collaborated with Ghostface Killah on his 2014 single Love Don’t Live Here No More. She performed live on several TV shows: the Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Later… with Jools Holland. Prince asked her to perform with him on stage.
For her 2016 album, Soul Eyes, she kept working with Sturken and Rogers, but she also attracted producer Larry Klein, who praised her as a natural talent. On smooth ballads like Place to Hide and relaxed mid-tempo songs like Talk to Me, she accompanied herself on the piano. Collaborating artists were trumpeter Terence Blanchard, guitarists Dean Parks and Jesse Harris, and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. Her 2018 album Indigo was produced by Karriem Riggins. It combines the vocal jazz tradition with modern R&B influences and a trumpet solo by Roy Hargrove.
On January 31, 2020, Springs released the lead single, “Pearls”, off her third studio album, The Women Who Raised Me. The album was released in March 2020. The Women Who Raised Me is a covers album featuring renditions of songs made famous by some of history’s most iconic vocalists: Ella Fitzgerald, Roberta Flack, Astrud Gilberto, Lauryn Hill, Billie Holiday, Diana Krall, Carmen McRae, Bonnie Raitt, Sade, Nina Simone, and Dusty Springfield.
The genesis of Daryl’s House came from a light-bulb moment seven years ago, when Daryl Hall first had the idea for his Webby Award-winning series, Live from Daryl’s House, which started on the Internet and has since become a fixture on MTV network Palladia.
“Why not just play music at my house and let people see what musicians are really like, when they are relaxed, and among friends,” says the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. “At the same time, although people could see me at home, there was no way to invite everybody over to have some food and watch us musicians play.”
With the opening of Daryl’s House, which officially launched with a special Daryl Hall and John Oates live Yahoo webcast this past Halloween, now, in Daryl’s own words, “We can all hang out, drink some wine, have a good time and listen to some great music.”
Formerly the Towne Crier at 130 Route 22, the new venue’s refurbishing has been personally supervised by Daryl himself, whose own passion for restoring historic homes has been well-documented on his show, Daryl’s Restoration Over-Hall on the DIY network. The venue is also the new home for Live from Daryl’s House TV show.
Hall has remodeled the venue in a similar fashion to his former 1770s home in nearby Millerton. “I’ve converted everything, from the tables and chairs, to the walls and ceiling, to an 18th-century style so it looks like a big version of my house,” Hall said. “It’s a very Early American, New England-y kind of vibe.”
The eclectic menu was also carefully overseen by Daryl, with chef Elena Angelides in charge, featuring steaks, seafood, pasta and sandwiches, including, naturally, Philly Cheese Steak Provolone Cheese, Daryl’s Shrimp with Tomato Basil and Half Roasted Chicken “a la Joe Walsh.” Angelides previously was the chief for Mozambique in Newport Beach, CA, among others.
Daryl says: “Welcome to my House!”
