Dude. You have to be part of the club to get the newsletter. And apparently, you aren't part of the club.

You must like alfalfa sprouts. (Anyone?)

Yep. That's the post. Still doesn't knock Roshambo out. But the Riesling is throwing me.

Did we axe Bogle from the possibilities?

I'll be back later y'all

Happy cyber pubbing...

So we're so baking excited about these invitations. Anyone who gets one and doesn't say "this is the coolest ever" immediately gets uninvited.


And if you turn over the "price tag", there's a little map

Multiple colors:

AND... it's a refridgerator magnet!

I'm so baking jealous, I am totally stealing this idea. And wishing I was coming to your party.

Yeah. My cat like butter too. But he hates eggs. Which are in the potato salad. He did seem fascinated by the mayo.

But you may be thinking of the Grenache, Syrah, & Mouvedre (GSM) blends.

Nope. I'm thinking of MWo's 2004 Syrah. Altho' I do agree about Mouvedre (or however you spell that grape).

kylemittskus wrote:I think some Pinot Noir tastes like bacon. I wouldn't know about Syrah. It is probably, along with Riesling, one of the "popular" varietals I have had hardly any experience with.

If you have a PN that's bacony, it's been blended with Syrah. Pure PN does not have meaty components.

cjsiege wrote:The cat is eating my potato salad. Great.

They do that.

MarkDaSpark wrote:Actually, I believe it is Mouvedre that lends the bacon taste/smell, not Syrah.

No, Syrah is definitely bacony. The first wine I got the AHA BACON moment in was the Saxon Brown Syrah Rose, which, IIRC, is 100% Syrah.

We had this wine tonight. Recommended by Loweeel and Cesare. Very good.

The label on the back concerned us a little. The clusters are "rigorously grated, handpiked ...". (Their spelling.) They abuse the poor grapes and still make a wonderful wine.

Truffles loves scrambled eggs. She gets a little whenever I make them. Good for her coat.

Oh that stuff is amazing. I got 6 when it went on free shipping sale at WL. Yum!

Respectfully, I think you may be wrong. Of course, the converse has a high likelihood of also being true.

Psst, Sparky! Mourvèdre.

Can't be Roshambo, they are by Sonoma. Nowhere near Clarksburg.

cjsiege wrote:...then doesn't that also make the case for Roshambo? They could have purchased the riesling.

But Roshambo isn't Clarksburg area. They are in Healdsburg in Sonoma. And the back label says Clarksburg. Which I believe means the Winery has to be in or around Clarksburg.


Also, LangeTwins is in Acampo, in the Lodi appellation. Not sure how close Acampo would be considered to Clarksburg, but they are a recent Woot offer.


WD indicated that the Chard & SB were Central Coast.

So I still think it is Bogle.

Nevermind ..... Stupid Outlook Junk Mail (I know I had Woot set to Safe).


And no, Alfalfa Sprouts are on the list with AsspareaGAS and Broccoli. Blech!

It's a Mitch Hedberg joke about club sandwiches.

Raja stares at the eggs. Then he looks at me with the "You put apcray in my dish. You had better remove it. NOW!" glare.

...dish?

Truffles just eats whatever I leave her on my plate.

...maybe that's why she begs...

They did a change up from the books. Doesn't really matter, just kept one peripheral character alive rather than another.

You might be a Wine.Woot! addict if you post to the pub before chasing the cat out of your food...

I just finished the first book at work last night. Will be starting the second one tonight. Pretty quick read.

And just finished watching the season premier. Not bad, but not great.

Yeah, quick and semi painless. I have a box set and then a the next 2 in the series. Honestly at a few points they make me want to strangle Sookie.

You mean the protagonist has a hang up about something and instead of resolving the issue the author drags it out over 349 books?

Pretty much. And if you are gonna fall in love with every vamp, were and supe in a 50 mile radius, don't go pining for your everyday normal guy.

Oh man this try a sip of this is really good. Even better this time around.
