Zinfully Good (LOL, yuck yuck yuck, so on and so forth)!

July 31st, 2008

“No Wimpy Wines” is the mantra of Ravenswood, a California Winery that is spread out in a few parts of the Cali Wine Country. I give them much credit as they are a fairly large winery, yet they’ve managed to compartmentalize themselves so that their products are of notable quality.

2003 Argiano Brunello : The Taste of Italy

April 17th, 2008

I love Italian Wine. There is so much character and essence in Italian Wine that you simply cannot replicate without growing your fruit from that soil. It’s Real. It’s Lush. It is Italy. It has a distinct flavor of Earth and Oak, mixed with ripe fruit and lush berry. There is nothing like Italian wine, even when its not “Italian Wine” like the IGT Antinori wine I reviewed.

Your Webcomic Recommendations

March 16th, 2008

In my time across the web, I’ve seen a lot of comics. And in my time in this part of the web, I’ve seen people reading far too few comics. Penny Arcade and XKCD are among my favorites but there is more to webcomics than video game comics and XKCD. There’s so much more out […]

What It Is Like to Have a Perfectly Aged Chardonnay…

March 12th, 2008
