Damn! Still more spreading to give around. Grrrrr :mad:

That was so torturous watching him order the Barely Legal at the convenience store. ("No, the new one.") I wanted to ball up and laugh/cry.

that scene was great.

Well, my company is officially being sold right now. They are signing the paperwork downstairs as we speak. I should be fine as my group is the reason the big co. wants us. I don't know how it will work out for the others. Weird stuff. :o

nothing personal...it's just business

Unfortunately, yes.

Is it sad that I actually really look forward to the Manischewitz served for communion? "Yes, can I get the supersized cup please?"

Thanks for the tips guys. My boss is big on recommending the German wines, as well. We're not locked into reislings, but neither my wife and I are big on bitter or dry wines either. We're exploring more reds, especially with cooking. Also have been trying some Pinot Gris and other whites.

Although, in reflecting on the B&Js, perhaps the problem is in my concept of wines being for drinking as opposed to sipping. As it is it's tough to handle glasses that are just half full! :p

The chiller was acquired mostly to fill in a hole where a garbage compacter used to be. ("3-PO, shut down all the garbage compactors on the detention level!") This fit in perfectly and was cheaper to install than having one cabinet made. But now that we have it I keep thinking how stupid it looks with just 5 bottles in there. "We paid $*** just to chill a six pack of Beringer?"
You should try some Oregon Pinot Noirs, they're not that expensive and almost always really good. Rex Hill is a good one. Also try a Malbec, i've had a few from Argentina that were really tasty, i can't really remember any names though, but they are inexpensive. For a good cheap wine try Calliterra Cabernet, its Peruvian and costs about five bucks a bottle.

I have found with red wines (not a huge fan of them really) that you need to spend at least 10$ for decent tasting reds. Again not a huge fan of reds so I steer more towards a Shiraz ( or Shyrah depending on the vineyard) or a Pinot Noir.......

We had a decent white in London which knocked me on my a$$ as far as a hangover goes but it tasted yummy! What was that one Cam?

WINE EXPERT:
A lot of people in this country pooh-pooh Australian table wines. This is a pity as many fine Australian wines appeal not only to the Australian palate but also to the cognoscenti of Great Britain.

Black Stump Bordeaux is rightly praised as a peppermint flavoured Burgundy, whilst a good Sydney Syrup can rank with any of the world's best sugary wines.

Château Blue, too, has won many prizes; not least for its taste, and its lingering afterburn.

Old Smokey 1968 has been compared favourably to a Welsh claret, whilst the Australian Wino Society thoroughly recommends a 1970 Coq du Rod Laver, which, believe me, has a kick on it like a mule: 8 bottles of this and you're really finished. At the opening of the Sydney Bridge Club, they were fishing them out of the main sewers every half an hour.

Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is Perth Pink. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is 'beware'. This is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

Another good fighting wine is Melbourne Old-and-Yellow, which is particularly heavy and should be used only for hand-to-hand combat.

Quite the reverse is true of Château Chunder, which is an appellation contrôlée, specially grown for those keen on regurgitation; a fine wine which really opens up the sluices at both ends.

Real emetic fans will also go for a Hobart Muddy, and a prize winning Cuivre Reserve Château Bottled Nuit San Wogga Wogga, which has a bouquet like an aborigine's armpit.

Thanks for the tips... you heavy drinkers! ;)

Off to an open house for Julia's school. Might not check in tomorrow as I have an interview north of Atlanta. Stay tuned, readers.

Later.

Just got the official announcement. Now a new company. There is a reception at 4 though. I plan on getting wasted! ;) :D

I like this one. It is good, especially for the price.

You can find plenty of good reds for under $10!!!

I don't remember the wine we had in London, but it was a pinot grigio style from Spain. And it knocked you on your ass b/c you're a light-weight! :D

EDIT: Steph, a pretty good Shiraz I tried recently from Australia was called Woop Woop (I liked the name so gave it a try!). Not too strong overbearing and pretty smooth. It is less than $10 and has a wine advocate rating of 89.

Yeah, Rebels is on my shelf, but I haven't read it yet. I looked at Soccer Explains The World at Borders - very interesting stuff.

I'm due for some new books. Have you read Football Factory? It is pretty good, though the characters are Chac supporters, albeit pre-Moronho and RA.

[HighburyGoon]

No, haven't read it yet. I'm reading Farewell To Arms right now, and highly recommend Sex, Drugs & Cocoa Puffs.

I read that one a few months ago. It is an interesting read, but gets kinda repetiative. I like reading the articles about the different derbies in 442 over the whole book, but it is worth reading.

haven't read Football Factory. the movie is good.
