CLUBBING

Music also on tap at Progression Brewing

I

USUALLY MENTION Progression Brewing Company in my Beer Nut column for obvious reasons.

But if you haven’t been there in a while, you might be surprised to learn that the Northampton club now has a full slate of musical acts each weekend, and the coming weeks promise to be good ones.

Let’s start with tonight’s show, which will feature The Canadian Tuxedos, The Hanged Man, and Amory Drennan. The Canadian Tuxedos features members of Bella’s Bartok and Mamma’s Marmalade, who define their sound as “trash grass” and play everything from Iron Maiden to Shania Twain.

The Hanged Man play doom folk and apocalyptic country music for these trying times, with just enough hope to shed some light. Amory Drennan’s solo project rounds out the night. Drennan has been a member of Bella’s Bartok since its birth busking on the streets of Great Barrington.

will take place at New City Brewery, 180 Pleasant St. in Easthampton, tomorrow at 8 p.m. This month’s lineup includes The Green Sisters, Sedagive, Nikita, and POSSM. Produced by Mark Sherry, the juried live music competition is held every other month at the New City Brewery and each competition features George Lenker four or five bands and/or Club Scout solo or duos drawn from all musical genres They comThis solo project features pete for about $1,000 in gift songs that have shaped his certificates and other prizes life and musical sensibilities from various local sponsoring businesses.

hawn R. Lindholm affectionately calls the Belchertown Fair “The Big B.” And it’s a big deal here.

The community fair celebrates the town’s agricultural roots and the active, growing community, offering a variety of family-friendly activities.

The 162nd Belchertown Fair will take place Friday through Sunday; its theme is “A Salute to Farms.”

The theme was chosen to honor local farmers “who are finding it harder and harder to make a living,” said Lindholm, the fair’s entertainment coordinator. “Given our agricultural heritage, the Fair Committee

wanted to showcase Belchertown’s local farms and thank them for all they do.”

She called the fair the “premier community event in Belchertown,” offering free admission, activities and entertainment for all ages. It is the main fundraiser for many local nonprofit groups and encourages education about agriculture

for the next generation.

Bands scheduled to perform at the fair include Baby Driver, Pandemonium, King Kountry, Taste of Honey, Good Acoustics, Moose and the High Tops, UnionJack and Donna Lee and Landslide. Under the Kids’ Tent, the headliner will be Steve Wronker Comedy Hypnosis.

The 162nd Belchertown Fair

Parade will take place Saturday beginning at 10 a.m. Its route begins at the staging area on South Main Street and runs north along the common on Main Street and then to the corner of Routes 9 and 202.

“Breakfast picnics have become quite popular for the pre-parade wait,” Lindholm said. “And, of course, don’t miss the Belchertown High School Band concert at 9:30 a.m. on the Clapp Memorial Library Lawn.”

Kevin R. Brown, fair parade coordinator, is expecting bands, floats, elected officials,

Shriners, fire and police departments, and antique vehicles for this year’s parade through the center of Belchertown.

Last year there were 58 entries.

“People like being in the parade, and people like watching the parade,” he said.

He has been involved with the parade for 35 years and stays with it to see it continue. “We put a lot of years into it to make a good thing for the town,” he said.

Lindholm’s favorite part of the fair is the people. “At some

nationwide has failed to rebound from the 2009 economic downtown, and the growth of delivery, as well as competition from chain eateries, has helped to further suppress customer counts. If you can get them to talk about it, most independent restaurant operators across the region will admit that weekends are OK, but weeknight business continues to be disappointing.

What Northampton is experiencing, then, might not be a short-term problem amenable to quick fixes. Instead, it’s very likely the reflection of an emerging “new normal” for the restaurant business.

A fundraising feast held at the Publick House Historic Inn in Sturbridge, the event will feature a cookout-themed menu with choices like barbecued chicken, pulled pork, baked beans, and pasta salad.

The cost to attend is a $14

donation, with children from ages 4 to 12 paying $5. Two open seatings will be offered, one at 4:30 p.m. and a second at 6:30 p.m. No reservations are accepted. For more on the feast, contact the Publick House at 508-347-3313.

• One of many links back to the Big E’s agricultural roots, the Eastern States Farmers Market and Wine Barn provides fair visitors with a chance to connect with some of New England’s finest farm-sourced products.

The Wine Cafe, which is located between the two buildings that make up to Farmers Market and Wine Barn complex, provides opportunities to enjoy the likes of wine slushies, cheese plates, or a tasty wine sundae.

The Farmers Market Demo Kitchen will feature a daily series of cooking demonstrations, including several involving 4-H competition.

The Center Square Grill in East Longmeadow has committed itself to a series of presentations, including programs on truffle chicken pot pie (Saturday), Peking Duck Taco (Wednesday), and Moroccan Braised Lamb Shank (Sept. 28).

For more information about Big E food events, go to the bige.com or call 413-737-2443.

AVING LONG ENjoyed its reputation as a popular dining out destination, Northampton’s community self-confidence has been shaken lately.

Several Main Street storefronts have remained empty, and in a matter of a few days this summer two well regarded restaurants, Viva Fresh Pasta and ConVino Wine Bar, shut down. Business leaders, public officials and the local media all began asking the same question – what’s wrong with downtown Northampton?

The discussion of what’s causing this sudden “downturn” focuses on a number of possible causes — high rents, a lack of convenient parking, and aggressive on-street panhanders are typically mentioned — but I’d suggest that what’s been happening in Northampton may indeed have local roots but is also a reflection of broader trends in the dining out world.

The three “causes” mentioned might explain the softening downtown market in Northampton, but I’d suggest there are other factors involved.

Traffic is certainly one – the community is increasingly a tough place to get into, especially during the early evening.

The Coolidge Bridge and its westbound approaches in Hadley now feature seven-daya-week tie-ups during the late afternoon and early evening, and the approach to Northampton from the south — up Pleasant Street — is now most often bumper-to-bumper during that time period as well.

Parking downtown is usually available but not always convenient, and as the dining out population ages, potential patrons may be less willing to walk from a distant space when restaurants elsewhere feature at-the-door parking.

Macro trends are working against Northampton as well.

The restaurant trade press continually reports that customer traffic at eating establishments

Eastside Grill boasts expansive menu

I

T SEEMS HARD TO BELIEVE that Eastside Grill has continuously operated for 35 years, and even harder to believe it has been a decade since its founders, the Yacuzzos, exited stage left. A recent night out at the Northampton eatery led us to believe that the current team could easily lead the storied restaurant on through its fourth decade and beyond.

Eating these days most often starts online with a restaurant’s website, which may or may not aptly represent the business. In the case of Eastside, the website is polished and up to date, even including the daily additions to the menu in both food and beverage.

Eastside employs a formula for its daily specials: soup of the day + oysters of the day + appetizer + entree specials + special dessert. Sticking true to its tagline “A little New England, a Little New Orleans, in downtown Northampton,” the oysters are most often from nearby waters and the first soup is always the Gumbo of the day. Other featured items are clearly New American in style and often employ either a local or Cajun spin.

The dinner menu itself does not suffer from a lack of options, with a good 15 unique appetizers to select from and 25 or so entrees. Even the oft-neglected dessert offerings were well represented with eight housemade sweets on the menu.

To start we chose Fried Oysters ($10) over the fresh shucked variety and had to forgo a healthy variety of other seafood appetizers, including Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail ($12), Flash Fried Calamari ($10) and PEI Mussels ($10).

Our six small, mild oysters were crisply

fried yet still creamy in the middle. We enjoyed the “Avery Island Dressing,” a sauce that derives its name from the island off the coast of Louisiana that is home to Tobasco; a flavor clearly profiled in the dip.

The long shot starter Crispy Cheddar Potato Cakes had us expecting latkes with cheese. What arrived at the table was a flattened croquette of sorts. Our first cut into the perfectly crisp breaded exterior led to a surprising smooth potato filling that was light as whipped cream but plenty rich in sharp cheddar flavor and studded with chives. The textural contrast was so unexpected it had us grinning ear to ear and conjecturing about the kitchen techniques that led to the cut-above fried appetizer.

The Gumbo of the Day on the evening we visited was fairly traditional in its makeup of chicken, andouille

and red beans but still left us feeling pleasantly surprised by its authenticity. Like a true Gumbo should be, it was clearly built on a foundation of

rich nutty brown roux. The requisite unique, earthy flavor of the filé powder was front and center, and it was served over a mound of perfectly cooked long grain white rice. We easily satisfied the “A Little New Orleans” portion of our dining out to-do list with that one dish.

Moving on to entrees, we found them to be divided into steak and, well, the rest – so we started with steak. Despite explaining that it was the exact dish I had eaten during my last visit to Eastside and that there were plenty of other steak options, my guest was adamant that he try the NY Sirloin with Candied Bacon and Smoked Gouda Fondue ($26). The dish was frankly every bit as good as the last time around with its perfectly cooked, highly flavorful beef topped with creamy, thick smoky cheese fondue and crisp, sticky bacon.

The non-steak entree section of the menu reads like a little New England, a little New Orleans, a little Asian Fusion, a little Italian with its array of dishes, many of which have been Eastside staples for years.

From the ten seafood dishes, we chose the East Meets West Scallops as a dare to the kitchen to make panseared scallops over rice noodles in coconut cream with snow peas (east) successfully meet Creole corn maque choux (west). The dish most definitely passed the test: the sweetness of the perfectly seared scallops and coconut sauce was balanced by the spicy peppers and sharp onions of the maque choux and we were thrilled with the result.

Meursault Wineries, Part 2 – Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Writer’s note: This is the second in a series of three stories about wineries in Meursault in France’s Burgundy region visited earlier this year by the writer.

Y

OU COULD EASILY walk past the understated, stone entrance to Domaine Vincent Bouzereau on Rue de Mazeray, a side street in Meursault, France.

But once inside, you quickly realize why the Bouzereau family has helped make Meursault one of the world’s most famous wine making villages in France’s Burgundy region.

Meursault is especially well known for its elegant, dry white wines and equally complex red wines. And best of all, many of the wines made by Domaine Vincent Bouzereau are relatively affordable. Most cost less than $100 a bottle, which is often a bargain compared to many other first-rate Burgundy wines.

A person’s taste in wine also says a lot about them as well, Bouzereau believes. “Tell me what you drink, I will tell you who you are,” he says.

eral, stunning white wines from Domaine Vincent Bouzereau.

Vincent then guides the two of us through a tasting featuring several of the winery’s elegant, refined red wines.

He also explains his process for deciding when to bottle his wines. “When I think it’s good to bottle, I bottle,” he says, adding that he and another employee at his winery “talk and we taste and we look at the moon. When the moon is low and down, the wine is more ready to bottle. I prefer to

White Claw hard seltzer boasts it has outsold Budweiser

H

ARD SELTZER always sounds like an oxymoron to me.

But guess what?

Crack jokes all we want, but the category is clearly popular, apparently among younger drinkers.

According to reported sales numbers, the hard seltzer White Claw claims to have outsold Budweiser in July.

I’m not talking about outselling a craft beer brand here. The company is saying it outsold Budweiser.

That’s quite a feat. But hard seltzer has been growing at a triple-digit rate for three years, and analysts say it might grow by as much as 300% in 2019. White Claw and Truly are the big brands you may have seen in stores.

George Lenker Beer Nut

But to show how big the trend is, you might think about this: I have not really seen it much in bars and restaurants yet, have you? And once the brands start cornering that market, you can expect even bigger numbers.

But OK, that’s hard seltzer.

Our concern here is beer,

specifically craft beer most of the time. So what does this mean in terms of our favorite beverage?

My guess is not a whole lot.

These trends come and go, as far as I can see. Remember about five years ago when hard cider was all the rage.

Well, that trend reversed for a few years (although cider sales have rebounded this year, according to data I could find). There will always be some new shiny thing for people to latch on to. But they usually don’t last. Remember hard soda, like Not Your Father’s Root Beer? (Here is where I wish I had the “shrug” or “eye-roll” emoji to employ.)

Now, that said, I’m not claiming beer is immune.

Beer itself has not been as

going to be big beer fans (in general, don’t get all upset if you are one). Those type of beverages seem more in line with cocktails than beer.

Of course, beer itself has these little (or booming) trends. IPAs, particularly the New England style versions, continue to be massively popular, and sours beers remain steady, but high-alcohol brews White Claw claims to have have wavered a bit, as session outsold Budweiser in July as beers become more popular. the hard seltzer trend grows.

Beer is unique in the same I also believe that people way that wine and whiskey who like things like cider and are. I don’t see a sweet drink hard seltzer aren’t necessarily replacing them anytime soon.

philosophy; each course will be accompanied by a side-byside pairing of a traditional Old World Oktoberfest beer with a similarly-styled New England craft brew.

The six-course menu begins with tarragon-scented knodel served with a mushroom puree; herb-roasted chicken will serve as the second portion of the meal. Course Three is to be smoked bockwurst and breast of veal. Schweinshaxe (roasted pork shank) will be the main course, and it will be accompanied by braised apples

share space with Pan Roasted Duck Breast ($26), Seared Pork Chop ($24), Australian Lamb ($28), and a half-pound Sirloin Burger ($14) in rounding out the protein-focused mains. Vegetarian entrees are limited to the Butternut Squash Ravioli ($18) or the ESG Salad featuring artichoke hearts, almonds, dried cranberries, crumbled feta and red onion.

In appreciation of the attention spent on the dessert portion of the menu we chose both the Seasonal Bread Pudding and the Carrot Cake. The currently featured Chocolate Espresso Bread Pudding with Frangelico Sauce was rich and coffee forward, with the sweet nutty sauce a perfect foil to the bitter dark chocolate bread custard.

On this trip to Eastside, my guest was a self-proclaimed blueberry fanatic, so what better time to retry the Blueberry Carrot Cake that has been a staple on the menu for some time. Alas we were left still debating whether the berries add something special or if we’d just like the raisins back.

Regardless, it is a well made twist on the classic American cake.

The bar at Eastside is a local hotspot for not just drinks but food as well, and a place where bar dining is taken quite seriously. There is a distinct Monday through Friday “Bar Menu” of sandwiches that lean Cajun with both a Catfish Taco and a Po Boy (both are $12); and $1 oysters are featured from 4 to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sundays. Half portions of select dinner entrees are popular with bar patrons as well.

And to wash it all down, Eastside features a well thoughtout beverage program that includes a lean but interesting wine menu with rotating special selections, cocktail and draft specials, and after dinner drinks.

With the recently extreme state of flux in the Northampton restaurant scene, we are happy to see Eastside Grill still holding its own in the fine dining sector.

this understated wine tastes great from start to finish.

2016 Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Charmes Premier Cru (in bottle) Winemaker’s notes: “Meursault Charmes is Premier Cru,” one of the highest quality vineyards in Burgundy.

“It is young. If I want to drink it, I put it in a carafe and I wait a little bit. It needs to be opened a little bit more before it can be drinkable. It’s young.

It’s a very nice vintage. For me, it’s a great vintage. You have big body, good balance, full and nice acidity. So you can enjoy now or imagine how you will enjoy after” a few years.

Bouzereau adds he believes the wine will taste great in another 10 to 20 years.

Writer’s tasting notes: An outstanding wine from one of the finest vineyards in Meursault. This stunning, soft, subtle wine illustrates why Meursault has such an outstanding reputation. This wine’s flavors cover a fascinating range – from fog and mist to a dash of sea salt and roasted butter. And best of all, these complex flavors seem to last forever after each taste.

Truly magical.

2018 Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Champans Premier Cru (in barrel) Winemaker’s notes: “It’s rich, full. It’s a level higher,” which is why the wine’s classified as a Premier Cru. Writer’s tasting notes: This rich, elegant, soft, subtle red wine tastes outstanding now and will continue to evolve and develop even more over the next eight to 10 years or even more. But like many great wines, this one tastes great now. Understated elegance.

2017 Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Monthelie (in bottle) Winemaker’s notes: “Monthelie is a small area close to Meursault, close to Volnay, a very small area. Bottled just before Christmas.” The 2017 vintage “is more drinkable for red.”

Writer’s tasting notes: Soft, RED WINES delicate wine that’s drinking (All red wines tasted were made well now. The fruit flavors are with Pinot Noir grapes.) lighter and more fragrant than many of the other red wines, 2018 Domaine Vincent especially the 2018 vintage,

which produced much more intense, austere wines.

Overall, I was absolutely impressed with the high quality of the wines for 2016, 2017 and 2018 at Domaine Vincent Bouzereau. No wonder the family has such an outstanding reputation for producing delightful, distinct wines.

2017 Domaine Vincent Bouzereau Volnay (in bottle) Winemaker’s notes: “The same Volnay” as the first red tasted “but 2017.”

Writer’s tasting notes: Of the two 2017 reds I tasted at the winery, this one was my favorite. It has more structure, more complexity and a more elegant, softer fruit finish.
