trouvère

Two of this year’s productions, “Le Trouvère” and the original version of “Macbeth,” are rarely performed incarnations of well-known works.

Alas, Robert Wilson’s production in the same venue of “Le Trouvère,” an 1857 adaptation of “Il Trovatore” for the Paris Opera, was a disappointment.

Domaine Trouvère 2015 Indigene, Dundee Hills, $28: Aromas of lemon zest and hints of vanilla give way to intriguing flavors of Golden Delicious apple, kiwi and a trace of minerality in the finish.

He calls the wine “Indigene” after the word “indigenous” and bottles it under his Domaine Trouvére label.

But the trouvère, even an aristocrat of the confraternity, such as Jean, who would have held in utter scorn the mere buffoon at the street corner, was never able to forget that he plied a dangerous trade, a “trop perilous mester.”
