  1. A reminder to check your coding carefully ... RT @revodavid: Why computers suck at maths: http://bit.ly/3UU4SJ
  2. NYT captured most of my restaurant pet peeves: 100 things wait staff should never do: http://tinyurl.com/ylhqx5u
  3. Puget Sound emerging as wine region? http://tinyurl.com/yhos98h
  4. Regent harvested and fermenting; small yield but tasty. Expecting Cab, Merlot, Sangio, & Syrah this week -- then the fun will really start!
  5. Regent comes in at 22 brix and 1% starting to shrivel. Tastes great. Will pick tomorrow or the next day.
  6. Jijang bosal. RT @Layman_Pang: Friends: John Daido Loori, Roshi, passed away at 9:30 am today. http://bit.ly/D7JZz
  7. 4 days since deactivated Facebook account. Don't miss it and notice I have less email and more free time! If you're on the fence, try no-FB.
  8. Received a hand-written note from @WoodwardCanyon wishing us well with our vintage :-) Great class to go with Woodward's great wines.
  9. Deactivated my Facebook account. I just don't care about the stream of trivia - and hate the terrible Facebook UI that bombards me with it.
  10. FB RT: Cristi Drane Chapman WOW -- 16-13! Aren't those Dawgs awesome? Way to go Washington!
  11. Rainy, rainy. It's nice to get but am hoping for sun again soon to continue ripening. Need another ~5 brix to harvest!
  12. Measured brix level on the Regent grapes today: 18.5, up from 14.0 last week! Harvest probably 2-3 weeks away.
  13. Whew, finished bottling 100% Dolcetto and 3 "Italian" blends. Now I need to have some of it -- although water sounds best at this point!
  14. Fun, fun - blending '07 supertuscan & '08 Dolcetto today. Might do blind tasting of Dolcetto vs. Pinot Noir; it's surprisingly similar.
  15. Domaine Serene/winemaker lawsuit. When wine, success, ambition, and $ collide. (And their wine is good) http://tinyurl.com/lys7a4
  16. Key to Twitter followers appears to be search keywords. Testing: Honolulu Vancouver Paris Kona Arkansas Oklahoma Texas Denver Santa Fe :-)
  17. 1st ever corked Archery Summit (ouch). Luckily had another from same case to compare. Buy 2+ at a time & if suspect corking, open another!
  18. Ah, happy with NWA again (pays to be a frequent traveler!) They canceled our unwanted/changed itinerary tickets with no fee.
  19. Ugh, looks like NWA will stop direct flights from Seattle to Maui. They moved tickets we have to go through SLC. Am going to cancel instead.
  20. Great wine tasting at Hollywood Hills winery, Woodinville. Superb Syrah & first place I've actually tasted Regent (the variety I'm growing).
