Drouhin recalls all Beaujolais Nouveau in Washington. Try the 2006 Beaujolais Villages. Should be around $8-10 and has an earthy, strawberry jam flavor–without a hint of tin can. (Really cheap Beaujolais and Beaujolais Nouveau always tastes like fruit out of a tin can to me, sorry.)

Le Sigh, there’s an update from Joseph Drouhin if you click the above link. Apparently, they determined some markets are not effected. Contact your distributor for details. But Seattle? You ain’t gettin’ any. It’s too late anyway, if you tried to ship me my B.N. now, I’d laugh. And if I were a distributor, I’d be pissed if they cleared it for sale now.

In other news, ever wonder what it’s like to huff scratch-n-sniffs or a fog machine? Well! Leave it to the Chinese:

Electro Cig Gives “Faux-bacco” Fix
from the New York Post

This thing costs $100. Just remember that bartenders have the right to refuse service for any reason. And this seems like a pretty good one to me. Just like those Rufie Aqua-dots, maybe the faux strawberry aroma and the propylene glycol mix to form some lobotomizing chemical in the brain. And we can call it the natural deselection of douchebags.
