It’s Raining, I’m Procrastinating, World is Ending
I dont know what depressed me more perusing the most excellent boingboing.net site this morning. The fact that there is an epidemic-like surge in bird deaths up and down the Pacific Coast which scientists are attributing to super low plankton levels and they don’t know why…
Or this piece about oil painting "factories" in […]
Wine Group Therapy, and a Few Good Roses
p> Roses: Just like I said it would, traditional style won out. Well, except for a couple of tongue in cheek ass-pulls. And, oddly–more Italians than Frenchies, weird. Here were the highlights:
Wineglass Cellars Rose of Sangiovese - The double take off the night. From Washington, where most roses come out rooty tooty fruity (not […]
Rose, My Little Brother, and Vlogging as the New Crack
Post this evening about Rose, I have my wine group. Don’t expect a great revelation. I’m sure we’re all bringing dry Frenchies–it is the choicest way to do pink. Also, the weather is freakin fantastic, so more drinking than evaluating.

Decanter: Here’s to Wine, Old Guys, and Waiting for the Reaper
If I read any wine magazine at all, it’s Decanter. This month’s issue has "Wines Top 50: The Power List," of "who’s shaping the wine you drink."
There are a couple points of interest about their little list.

Independance Day, Oregon Pinot Camp 60 Second Review
