You'd be far more likely to get acidity out of Syrah or Cinsault than you would Grenache, but the mention of raspberry-candy aromas make me sort of wonder if there isn't a little citric acid manipulation going on. I don't know…

Home sweet home, b'y. Do visit, but try to go between June and September. It still will (probably) rain and possibly snow, but it's gorgeous and worth it. You do not have to fall for that stupid tourist-bait Screech-in crap, but do have some bakeapples and partridgeberries (Scandinavians call them cloudberries and…

This case is like a disgusting, rotten onion: layers upon layers of slimy grossness keep falling away to reveal more nastiness.

So do I have to suck this guy's dick to get a Sword in the Stone DVD for free or what? I don't really understand what's going on here.

You know, I really don't NEED an extra morning cry. But oh my goodness, Emma! I'm considering nixing this grad school thing and opening up a Dalmation Plantation, except with dogs of every race, color, nativity, property, creed, and previous condition of servitude.
