  1. On the CBS Early Show tmw (Sat), 7:30 est, blind tasting the hosts on $$$ vs budget wines--will be fun!
  2. RT @lauramaniec: Alcohol pill to get you drunk? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/03/alcohol-pill-scientist-pa_n_379095.html
  3. Have just determined that the perfect wine for chicken fried steak is Krug Grand Cuvee. Big relief to have sorted that out.
  4. Anatomy for ideal weekend: wild dove ragu/polenta, '04 Boscaini Carlo amarone; venison chili, '05 Calera Mills Pinot; now unconsciousness.
  5. Absolutely oddball but terrific pairing: pickled wasabi green beans w/ Donati Camillo sparkling Malvasia (biodynamic, orange & excellent).
  6. Looking forward to being on Weekend Today on Sun w/ turkey-day, Macy's parade, football & black friday wines! 8:30ish I'm told.
  7. Heading home from Spain. Still stunned at how beautiful Ribeira Sacra is, esp this morning with clouds like smoke over the river Sil.
  8. Nothing like eating mussels just hauled out of the sea & drinking cold Albarino on a fishing boat off the Galician coast...
  9. In Pontevedra, having a beer & alarmingly large plate of pulpo Gallego. Good after long flight but may end up dreaming of tentacles.
  10. At Summit drinking Greg Seider's terrific cocktails--
  11. Backstage at Stella Artois World Draught Master event--in marker on a stagehand's toolbox, "the future is coming... learn to breathe." Odd.
  12. Journal of Ag & Food Chem pinpoints iron, not tannins, as culprit in bad red wine & fish pairings. On my blog http://bit.ly/4yLSWP
  13. 59 Leoville Las Cases + TCA = is there any rational argument against screwtops?
  14. Just finished my old world vs new world wine & burger pairing seminar at NYCWFF w/ Spike Mendelsohn. Great guy, exclnt burgers! Europe won.
  15. Just finished tasting through 8 vintages of Beaucastel w/ Marc Perrin @ NYC Wine & Food fest...89 & 90 both stunning but 90 won for me
  16. In green room at The Early Show--turns out I'm on early, at 7:40
  17. On CBS Early Show tomorrow around 8ish, talking about some of our 09 American Wine Award winners!
  18. Once again, Manhattan: grinning loon in a pink skintight bodysuit on unicycle just nearly mowed me down in 21st St crosswalk.
  19. At Giants Stadium waiting for Bruce!
  20. At Tyler Colman's seminar for Newport Wine & Food--tasting an 07 Francois Pinon Vouvray that's a steal for $18.
