...epiphanic moment several years ago when tasting the cuvée Pithos by Azienda Agricola Cos - a star vineyard in the current Sicilian wine renaissance that ferments Frappato in simple terra-cotta amphorae. Joining with an artisan potter in 2007, Viret now creates an amphora-fermented Mourvèdre assemblage, with Muscat Petit Grain and Clairette Rose cuvées to come. He vaunts the gentle, low temperatures of fermentation in clay and its substantial porosity. Rather aptly, Domaine Viret is situated on a former Roman military camp...
...work. “Psycho,” the newest installment in a series of Eminem-50 Cent duets that have appeared on each of 50’s albums, is one of the best songs the two MC’s have made together. One of three Dr. Dre-produced songs on the album, “Psycho” has a slow-moving and tense beat that is punctuated by a sweeping, dramatic string sample. 50 returns to his most successful gangsta style in lines like, “it’s murder when they found...

I think one of the reasons I started "My Year of Flops...
...outraged or just bored? Eminem has trampled these boundaries before, and even the gothic funk and seriocomic beats of Dr. Dre, who produced all but one of Relapse's 20 tracks, can't cover up the sound of Eminem's weariness. Titles like "Same Song & Dance" and "Old Time's Sake" give away the game, as does the quality of the wordplay, which is far more blunt than manic. Eminem sounds like a man with a reputation to uphold, a lyric book to fill and a stack of Us Weekly magazines nearby. Things do not improve when he shifts...
