Plume Bleue Vin de Pays d’Oc is a 50/50 Grenache Syrah blend made by a very good winemaker. This big fruity wine has lots of plum, cherry and dark berry flavors with just enough chewy tannins to balance it out. It has a mildly smoky flavor.

I came across a good article on pairing wine with cheese. It has (mostly) very good, practical advice, as this isn’t as easy as it sounds. Although, for wine and cheese lovers, it is hard to make a really bad match.
The one issue I have with any of the tips is the one about red [...]

George Carlin 1937-2008

One of my personal heroes is gone. George Carlin was one of the shaping forces in my life. As teenagers, my friends and I memorized his albums. I can still recite many of his routines verbatim. His impact on many people went way beyond just making us laugh. He picked up the torch that was [...]
