In Part 2 we pick up with special guest, poet and comics writer Anas Abdulhak and talk Tracks 4-15 + the wine pairings!

Anas has written Elutheromania, Objects in the Mirror, and Etheres. We actually featured ETHERES elsewhere on our Substack! a video + a written Q&A with Anas, go search that out. Anas is currently hard at work on the unSEEN/unHEARD Anthology, a comic anthology with stories from new voices from the disability and neurodivergent communities. We mention in the podcast that *maybe* submissions might still be open when these episodes drop, but alas, they did close on June 30th. But that means the work is now underway!

THE WINES (and/or Not-Wines)
ANAS' WINE
Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay Rose, Marsannay-la-Côte, France
A rose of Pinot Noir, 50% macerated for 3-4 days, 50% of the juice was pressed off immediately. Grown on clay-limestone soils in Marsannay-la-Côte.

DALLAS' WINE
2021 Château Sainte-Marie Les Hauts de Sainte-Marie Blanc, Bordeaux, France
The Les Hauts de Sainte-Marie blanc is a blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon and 10% Muscadelle. Beautiful aromas of white flowers and wonderful ripe citrus fruits: pink grapefruit, orange, and pomelo. It has a vibrant freshness on the attack that mellows to white peach, apricot and lemon citrus balanced by superb minerality.

DAVE'S WINE
2020 Zulal Voskehat, Vyots Dzor, Armenia
The Queen of Armenian wines! The name “Voskehat” translates to "golden berry". Notes of honeysuckle, sunflower, lemon zest on the nose. Yellow apple, a hint of pineapple, lemon, and chamomile on the palate. It tastes like the kind of drink you’d have if you were feeling bad, and wanted to feel better. A powerful up-front flavor, but a short, phantom aftertaste to match the album’s ethereal disco quality.

Anas' Choice: DEDICATED by Carly Rae Jepsen. DEDICATED is CRJs 4th Studio Album, after EMOTION, which we covered with screenwriter Mark Palermo in a previous episode. So if you'd like to hear more about her career leading up to DEDICTED, go listen to that ep!

After EMOTION, CRJ wanted to do a "light disco" album, having deep-dove into ABBA's back catalogue. The album's working title was "Songs to Clean Your House To". But ultimately she went another direction, wrote 200+ songs, and finally ended with the 15-track album we know today.

THE MOOR is a new indie horror film, released 7/1/2024 in the UK but still to come for the rest of the world - keep an eye out for it!

The film had its World premiere in the "First Blood" strand of FrightFest, a platform dedicated to debut feature films. It quickly gained recognition as one of the standout entries in its category. Total Film hono(u)red the film with FrightFest's Best Scare award and nominated director Cronin for Best Director.

This British folk horror film is based on true stories about The Moor Murders in the countryside during the 60's. Sophia La Porta stars as Claire, who is approached by the father of her murdered childhood friend to help investigate the haunted moor which he believes to be his long-missing son's final resting place.

THE WINES
DAVE'S WINE: (Match)
2019 Triacca Casa La Gatta Valtellina Superiore
Alpine Nebbiolo! Or "Chiavennasca" as those in the northern Lombardy region call it. High acidity + high tannins, bright red fruits with florals and truffle, an absolutely unique expression of Nebbiolo.

DALLAS' WINE: (Contrast)
Domaine Trapet Beblenheim "BBHM" Riesling 2020
Rich lime, peach, and pear notes, floral hints and a slightly petrol aroma. The palate is equally impressive, with good acidity balancing a full body.
