I always check the back to see what the blurb is.

Personally, I’m quite partial to Tempranillos.  

“You didn’t answer my question: is this going to be a positive portrayal of the department?”

Preach. I had my own disheartening encounter with law enforcement while producing my documentary on a missing persons case. The first thing I did was reach out to law enforcement to see about interviewing someone involved in the case with an official capacity, with the idea of them providing the basic info - who,…

If it’s from Chile, drink it.

Honestly if it’s a party I will always reach for an Argentinan Malbec. Always a crowd pleaser.

Bordeaux is a blend.  Blend =/= bad. 

If it’s a party, I avoid French wine. American palates are usually more attuned to the Californian styles (of red in particular), which tend to be fruitier and more immediately enjoyable - unless I’m dining with a bunch of my effete, cork sniffing friends who can afford to order whole bottles of wine at dinner, in…

Pay attention to “Bottled by” and “Vinted” distinctions. If a wine is vinted and bottled at the same place, it’s likely to be of higher quality. Just “bottled” means they likely bought excess grapes from another vineyard and made wine out of it. Pay attention to the region, the more specific, the higher the likelihood…

Never forget that Andrew Sullivan is literally a white supremacist; he has pushed the incredibly maligned Bell Curve theories of Charles Murray for decades, and has written numerous columns claiming that rigorous science requires people to question whether or not black people are genetically predisposed to having…

While he can be very full of himself, he is actually very active in the community. He set up a food truck in Santa Rosa, to be ran by at risk kids, get them a job and how to manage a business. He also used all his power to bring in food trucks for survivors and the firefighters of the Santa Rosa, CA fires that…

Personally I like when Jez pretends they’re sick of things they continue to cover ad infinitum

You’re assuming that the strategy isn’t to shut down the government in order to actually cancel the midterms, or delay them somehow.

Politics Corner - Do You Feel Lucky, Trump? Go Ahead, Make My Day edition. Trump is threatening to shut down the government at midnight September 30th by vetoing the spending bill, unless it fully funds his border wall. And remakes the Visa system, which isn’t what spending bills are for, but why would we expect Trump…
