Ulli Bögershausen & Brancaia Tre

Ulli Bögershausen is a guitar painter who creates soulful, sometimes melancholy pictures as the notes flow from his guitar. One of my favorite songs is “Mad World “ and his renditions is beautiful. For me, his guitar makes me smile as his notes sooth away the stress of a hectic day. His style blends classical training with folk and pop sounds that merge into a unique kaleidoscope of colors. His technique is flawless, his interpretation without peer. I hope you enjoy him as much as I do.

With a peerless guitarist, I’ve got to have a wine of equal quality, so tonight, I pairing Ulli with the #10 wine in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 of 2009, namely the 2007 Brancaia TRE ($18.00). It’s a blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Wonderful bouquet exploding with dark fruit and violets followed by a palate that coats your mouth with crushed raspberries and blackberries. Velvet tannins with a soft finish bursting with more fruit. Wine Spectator rated it a 93. I agree. In fact, I bought three more bottles. Try it while you listen to Ulli. Heavenly!

Cheers!
