Image
Good Morning Gentle Readers, This is really a very nice wine. Course, I am partial to the three grapes that went into the making of it. I especially enjoy a stand-alone Petit Verdot, which isn't all that easy to find.... Continue reading

Thanks Chatalana <3. I miss it too. I hear from SASOB via email every so often. It's been a while, but he survived the houston floods without incident. I guess his place is on higher ground and outside the city limits.

Good Morning Gentle Readers, Back in the Pleistocene, Mike Bloomfield and Electric Flag did an awesome cover of my theme song at Monterey. It's a great blues rendition and the song has held up well. I believe that Nick Gravenites... Continue reading

If Only Beans Could Hit
Image
Good Morning Gentle Readers, You know, if Beans was a better hitter he could have had a phenomenal career as a shortstop. That dog can field. He's also multi-talented. If I hunted, he would have been a terrific hunting dog.... Continue reading

Good Morning Gentle Readers, Throwback Thursday: It's only a little more than a half mile hike out to Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. But, when the temps are in triple digits, the... Continue reading

Good Morning Gentle Readers, Wishing my Jewish friends all the very best of the new year celebration, Rosh Hashanah, which began at sunset. There were untold numbers of heroes of the Big War, most of whom remain anonymous and whose... Continue reading

Throwback Thursday and A Lesson in Taxation
Image
Good Morning Gentle Readers, I found this in a box in the garage just now. It's a promotional bar mirror for a long-defunct wine cooler. Not exactly Roadside Americana, but I collect such things. It's in good condition and it... Continue reading

Good Morning Gentle Readers, My dad marks his 88th birthday today, something that seems rather impossible, but true it is. I spoke with him for a few minutes recently. Mind you, there was a time when he'd yak until your... Continue reading

Good Morning Gentle Readers, The Margarita is pretty much synonymous with Cinco de Mayo, at least here in the Great Southwest. However, the ubiquitous Margarita only dates to the early 1940's and was probably invented by Don Carlos Orozco at... Continue reading

Propagating Cabernet Vines

Good Morning Gentle Readers, I planted my solitary Cabernet Sauvignon grapevine a few years ago on a whim. It's a happy vine that lives between a Mexican Lime tree and a Meyer Lemon. But, between the grape-thievin' dog and the... Continue reading

Lileks on Christmas Past

Good Morning Gentle Readers, I’m never happy to see Christmas pass; it makes all the decorations and holiday gear suddenly seem sad and out of date. It shouldn’t be so, as we are celebrating The Season, and that lasts beyond... Continue reading
