This episode features our frequent and very popular guest Elyse Rivin. If you enjoy her episodes, please consider supporting her on Patreon. When you live in Toulouse, as Elyse and Annie do, taking a trip to Gaillac wine country is quite easy. But should you do it next time you visit France? Listen to this episode and decide for yourself! On this drive, Elyse visited two small towns, one is Rabastens and the other is L'Isle-sur-Tarn and in between they stopped along the Gaillac wine route. A lot of this follows the gorgeous Tarn river and it can easily be done as a day trip from Toulouse. But you need a car or bicycle or wheels of some sort to do this. About Gaillac Wines Elyse is not a big fan of Bordeaux wines and Bourgogne are generally too expensive. But she loves Gaillac wines because they are quite unique. But, of course, when it comes to wine you should drink what you like! Gaillac wines are the oldest ones in France. When the Romans arrived in this area they soon found out that they made good wine here with their own grape varieties. Some of these grape varieties are still around, most are not. The Romans were really good at creating trading routes. But when the Roman Empire fell, a lot of the wine economy of this area fell into great difficulties and they didn't export wine for a long time. Later when monasteries were established all around the South West, they started making wine and selling it. They used the ancestral grape varieties and brought in new ones. Starting in the 800s and 900s Gaillac wines started to make a name for themselves. Even kings wanted to import this wine! It helped that you could navigate the Tarn and the Gironde using a boat called a "gabare". This made it possible to take the wine by boat all the way to the ocean in Bordeaux. Once the people who controlled access to the port in Bordeaux started to impose taxes they made Gaillac wines too expensive compared to Bordeaux wines and people forgot about Gaillac wines over time. But it's since made a big come-back and it's wonderful to see how many small producers make great wine in this area. Grape Varieties Used in the Gaillac Region In this area they use grape varieties called Loin de l'oil, and Mauzac and they are both unique to this area. They also use Muscadel and Sauvignon Blanc. Duras and Braucol are used in reds and are unique to this area. You'll also find a little bit of Servadou noir. They make every sort of wine including whites, reds, a little bit of rosé, and a few sparkling wines. A very good bottle of Gaillac costs much less than a good bottle of Bordeaux or Burgundy. Why Are There So Many Pigeon Towers in the South West? There are pigeon towers all over France, but you'll see them especially in the south west of France. Some have fallen into disrepair, but many are being renovated. Even the broken down ones are protected and look really nice. Pigeon towers are there because the Counts of Toulouse and later the King of France decreed that to make Gaillac wines you needed to fertilize the land with pigeon poop and not cow manure. Bird fertilizer doesn't leave any specific odors or acidic taste in the soil, so it was the best way to fertilize. This is why piegon towers popped up all over the countryside so they could gather up bird excrement and use it on their land! Driving Around Gaillac Wine Country Elyse started her visit in the town of Rabastens then hopped on the D18, see map below. Along the way there are 5 chateaux that are open to the public. In the winter they are open by appointment and on week-ends, but in the summer months they keep longer hours. They drove a small section of the local wine road. When you visit you'll see signs directing you to the many more places. They went to Domaine de Mazou, Domaine Sarrabelle, Mas de Rious, Michel Issaly and Château de Saurs. It's lovely countryside driving surrounded by vineyards. Château de Saurs is special because they have an actual old château and this is the oldest wine producing chateau in the Gaillac area. It's a large wine producer, they have an italianate style garden and you can taste the wine. Elyse got to meet the "chatelaine". She's from the same family that created the Entrecôte and they supply Saurs wine to the restaurant. The chatelaine came across as a tad "hautaine" which means that she knows she's the cat's meow. Rabastens, L'Isles-sur-Tarn and Gaillac When you drive this route you should stop at these two charming towns and take a look around their historical center. Both Rabastens and L'Isle-sur-Tarn are dynamic because they attract younger families. The attraction is that they are pretty towns with reasonable real estate prices. From those towns you also have easy access to Toulouse via the freeway. Rabastens Rabastens is a cute town. Part of it is buit-up high up on cliffs above the Tarn river. There are wonderful old houses that are well-taken care of. The church, Notre Dame de Bourg has a facade that's classified as a UNESCO World Heritage. It's on the route de Compostelle. It's a charming small town with a funky little museum with a section on wine-making, archeology, roman ruins, crafts, painting. L'Isle-sur-Tarn You might think from the name that this town is on an island, but it's not. It's called that because it's on a bend of the Tarn river. This is a bastide built in the middle of the 1200s on a grid system. The bastide center is lovely, has a huge open square and market. Like most bastides, the church is not on the center square. There are local houses called "pontet" where the houses connect from one side of the road to the other. Gaillac Gaillac itself is not particularly pretty or charming. It used to be somewhat decrepit and is trying to find its second wind. It is the center of wine distribution. You can visit the Abbey Saint Michel wine producer. The building is no longer an Abbey. They offer tasting of all the different wine producers of the area.

➜All show notes and links: https://acousticlife.tv/at133/ ➜Get the show: https://tonypolecastro.com/get-acoustic-tuesday Nearly eight years later, I'm revisiting the Martin D18 and the Martin D28. These two iconic acoustic guitars are getting my full, undivided attention. I'll cover why these two guitars should be in your guitarsenal, famous players who use them, and 5 excellent alternatives. To kick things off, I want to cover why the Martin D18 and the Martin D28 should be in your guitar collection. There are tons of reasons why these two iconic Martin acoustic guitars need to be in your collection, but I distilled it down to my top 5 reasons. Reason #1: The Martin D18 and Martin D28 are EXTREMELY versatile. There's almost no musical situation where a Martin D18 or D28 hasn't been used. Think about it. These guitars are mostly associated with bluegrass, but these guitars work for almost any genre. To prove it, I've got proof of singer-songwriters, rockers, and trad players using Marin D18s and D28s! Reason #2: The Martin History What's remarkable about owning a Martin guitar, especially a D18 or D28, is the history. When you play one of these guitars, you are stepping into history. Starting in 1916, the dreadnought shape was created. After that, there have been twists and turns that have defined and shaped how this iconic body shape (pun intended) came to be. The dreadnought is a historical guitar shape that Martin absolutely innovated. Reason #3: The Bass on Martin D18s and D28s For guitars that have unmatched bass quality, regardless of whether they are vintage or not, look no further than the Martin D18 and D28. Now, just to be clear, each of these guitars has a slightly different bass sound, but the bass levels are truly awesome. For example, the D18 offers a nice dry and woody bass tone. Meanwhile, the Martin D28 has a wonderful mid-scooped present bass tone. To demonstrate these differences, I have footage of Billy Strings and Molly Tuttle playing both Martin D18s and Martin D28s. Reason #4: Martin D18s and D28s are the most imitated guitars on the market today. I don't care what brand of guitar you choose, but they usually have a copy of the D18 and a copy of the D28. Why? Because the recipe is ingenious. With the Sitka spruce top and the mahogany rosewood back and sides, it's an unbeatable combo. For those of you who recognize that Martin D18s and D28s are expensive, and perhaps are looking for the best imitations, look no further than this list of guitars: 1) Blueridge BR-140 (D18)2) Blueridge BR-160 (D28)3) Recording King RD-318 (D18)4) Recording King RD-328 (D28)5) Eastman Guitars E6-D (D18)6) Eastman Guitars E8-D (D28) Reason #5: The Martin D18 and D28 are used as standards for other guitars. In my decade of reviewing guitars professionally, I've compared countless guitars to the Martin D18 and the Martin D28. Why? Both the Martin D18 and the D28 are so finely crafted, that they have become the gold-standard for a well-crafted guitar. ///// Now that you know why you need a Martin D18 and a Martin D28, I want to feature Sturgill Simpson, a proud user of Martin dreadnoughts like his custom Martin D18. Now, I love that he uses a Martin HD28 and a custom D18...but can we talk about his voice for a little bit? When I listen to Sturgill Simpson sing, he has a classic country quality that I don't hear that much these days. Additionally, his lyrics are masterful, ranging from sorrowful to comical all in just one song. Be sure to check out Sturgill Simpson and listen to some of his music! ////// Now, I know I mentioned some good alternatives to a Martin D18 or a Martin D28 earlier in the episode. However, I want to revisit this topic to give you a more focused list of specific guitars. #3 for D18 Alternative: The Bourgeois Country Boy For a guitar that has the same dry bass and projection that the Martin D18 has, the Bourgeois Country Boy is a strong contender. I've been playing this guitar for a while now, and I love how punchy that bass sound can be at times. It never seems to drown itself out or get too muddy, which I also appreciate. Be sure to catch the full clip of me playing the Bourgeois Country Boy is to see if this D18 alternative stacks up to your expectations. #3 for D28 Alternative: Boucher BG-52 Clocking in at my third-favorite non-Martin D28, the Boucher BG-52 is a stellar guitar from a stellar guitar maker. I've had the most recent experience with this guitar, and I truly believe this guitar can hold its own against a Martin D28. It has the open, voluminous sound as a D28 with maybe just a hair brighter tone.

En aquesta carta dirigida a la Universitat Catalana d’Estiu (UCE), Cuixart ha garantit que ‘diguin el que diguin les sentències’, des de l’entitat continuaran ‘lluitant per la llibertat i els drets humans, arreu dels Països Catalans’. ‘Desobeint aquelles lleis injustes quan calgui, i militant en la tendresa amb el més gran dels nostres somriures’, escriu Cuixart. Avui a la Universitat Catalana d’Estiu es fa la jornada d’agricultura enguany centrada sobre el tomàquet. En l’acte d’aquest migdia al Liceu Renouvier de Prada es commemorarà Ramon Margalef el biòleg català que hauria fet 100 anys enguany i va treballar molt sobre l’ecologia.

Ha mort Jacques Serrat que va ser batlle de Costoges entre els anys 1972 i 1977.Serrat tenia 81 anys i les seues excequies seran demà a les 2 de la tarda al cementeri de Costoges. Les previsions de Circulació del cap de setmana : avui ja és un dia classificat vermell en el sentit dels retorns així com demà dissabte, per diumenge hi hauria d’haver menys cotxes a les carreteres i només serà taronge. A més recordem que una part del transit de vehicles que ha de passar la frontera entre els estats francès i espanyol es desviarà del país basc a casa nostra per culpa de la reunió del G7 a Biarritz. Rugbi 15: l’USAP ahir rebia Besiers a Aimé Giral en el primer partit de la Temporada amb més de 13 000 persones a les graderies de l’estadi. Al minut 7 de partit un jugador dels occitans va ser expulsat, a la mitja part l’USAP dominava tranquil·lament 20 a 6, però un assaig de Besiers a l’inici de la segona part va posar emoció. Finalment els Catalans van guanyar per 23 a 13 en aquesta primera jornada de Pro D2.
2015 wurde bekannt, dass VW die Abgaswerte von Dieselfahrzeugen manipuliert hatte. Der Skandal nahm immer größere Ausmaße an, und mittlerweile fürchten Dieselbesitzer, mit ihren Autos nicht mehr in die Innenstädte fahren zu dürfen. Der Wertverlust von Dieselfahrzeugen könnte, allein in Deutschland, zehn Milliarden Euro betragen. Gegen einen Mann, der im Zentrum dieses Skandals steht, wird derzeit von verschiedenen Stellen ermittelt, wegen Marktmanipulation und wegen Betrugs: Martin Winterkorn, der ehemalige Vorstandsvorsitzende von VW. Claas Tatje, Wirtschaftsredakteur der ZEIT, hat mit seinem Kollegen Marcus Rohwetter über den Mann, der einst an der Spitze des größten Autobauers Europas stand, geschrieben. Im Podcast spricht Tatje über seine Suche nach Antworten auf die wichtigste Frage: Wie viel wusste der Volkswagenchef Winterkorn von den Abgasmanipulationen – und vor allem seit wann? Alle sprechen über Heimat. Horst Seehofer bekommt sogar ein eigenes Ministerium. Und ZEIT ONLINE ein neues Ressort: D18. Mit dem Ziel: Deutschland Deutschland erklären. Chefredakteur Jochen Wegner erklärt, was es mit D18 auf sich hat – und welche Heimaten ZEIT ONLINE suchen wird.

Er det IOC eller nordmenn som er arrogante? Etter at beskyldningen har haglet under Sotsji-OL, spør flere seg om vi virkelig ønsker IOC til et Oslo-OL i 2022. Norge mister verdifull Norgesreklame når filmindustrien unngår å spille inn filmer i Norge, det bekymrer fagforeningen Norsk Industri. Fremskrittspartiet åpner for folkeavstemming om innvandring. Det oser av ansvarsfraskrivelse, sier støttepartiet KrF. ___ Vel møtt til D18 denne tirsdagen, hvor vi også spør om når barna er store nok til at foreldrene kan reise fra dem for å lade batteriene? Ekspertenes råd spriker. Programleder i dag er Gry Blekastad Almås.
