Sorry Dusty, that guy seems a little flakey to me, be careful. Bought six bottle of Colgin Cabernet and three bottles of Colgin Syrah. Woohoo, gonna be a great dinner in six to ten years!

Lots of stuff from the Stag's Leap vineyard area is good including the Merlots and 2007 was a spectacular year so win, win, win, Moar WS Pinot.

Zach, happy birthday!

Good luck wishing you a successful escrow and a speedy closing.

Good luck!

Al you are supposed to drink it not well you know splash it there. Williams Selyem Sonoma County Pinot- toasting all you malbec drinkers and Shelly I hope you are back on the cocktail circuit soon.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Tyler!

For you wine aficionados and especially Syrah drinkers-- Ojai Vineyards Is Da Bomb I really like Ojai Vineyards their quality is fantastic and their prices are very reasonable. The Santa Barbara Syrah is $24 per bottle if you buy six bottles and shipping is free. Once they arrive let them rest for two months or longer if you can stand the temptation, open then let the wine breath for 1-4 hours then have at it.

You guys are scaring me with those feet pics makes me wonder what else you are wearing.

Dan, you are on a long Malbec kick. Nice! Brown Estates Brown Recluse. I didn't want to post a picture of the lable because the only one I could find was ginormous and I don't think anyone would appreciate a full monitor view of what I am quafing. Not bad BTW, a little hot on the alcohol but nice and chaulky with a long finish; should go great with takeout Italian. Colin, that meal looks awesome! Another Mendoza Malbec-er, you guys live quite well. So Ken, did you buy that Gypsy Boots? How was it?

Ahh, I saw this today at whole Foods but took a pass since I haven't seen anyone post about it. Timing is everything. Moar Merlot/Semillon/Sauvignon Blanc----not in that order though.

I bought some really nice cheese for this evening- pecorino, regiano romano and some cheese whose name I forgot with black trufffles in it. They all went really well with the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc but awesome with the La Jota Merlot. La Jota rocks! Also bought some beer I am not familiar with- Suplication and Consecration. I had to buy it since Whole Foods would only let me have one bottle each. Round trip airfare to Phoenix AZ, unfortuneately.

Does garlic work on werewolves or is it silver? Or bad music?

Dan, is that the Colonial Estate Emigre? A selection out of your usual buying pattern. I really like the few Austrailian Shiraz I have had but I don't recall sampling andy Aussie Shiraz blends and Shiraz with Mourverdre should be a real fruit bomb. You might try to source some Valdez Petite Syrah if any made it's way towards you. It is not a Syrah blend like the Emigre but the flavor profile should please you. Oh, I forgot why I was here in the first place. It finally hit 100 degress today so I am free to start drinking whites. This neat Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc blend is great hot summer wine, I just wish I had some Thai food or lobster roll to go with this. Calling Jacob....can you catch the nearest G-6 and pop on over and show me how to make a lobster roll?

I don't get the helix and dog thingy.

Hmmmm, does he have and weird food cravings? Like raw meat or midnight cravings? Get well soon Mr. Shelly hubby.

Happy happy birthday Doug!

Hiromi Uehara- She has a great touch with the piano and most importantly she plays a Yamaha! or this way

Such a cynic. If I do decide to go Merlot only and you play your cards right I may will all my Pinots to you and your wine cellar.

La Jota Vineyards Howel Mountain Merlot- Mighty tasty after it has had it's aerobic exercise. I may have a tough time going back to Pinots.

I thought it was > >

Happy birthday Duggeh!
