Cellar/Tasting Notes 100% Chardonnay from extremely steep vineyards. Only natural yeast is used. A smoky, toasty nose followed by rich buttery aromas. Good mouthfeel on the palate with a rich creaminess, excellent balancing acidity and a very long finish. A stylish wine.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Round and supple, with excellent cut. The apple, peach and lemon flavors start out matched to a rich texture, dovetailing to a point as the finish stretches out.."

About Modestep
Modestep is in step with the U.K. dance scene (Updated December 18, 2012)
If there's one band in the world that has a lot to 'Feel Good' about, it's Modestep. The London-based electronic/dubstep act has been making noise and headlines since 2010, and is one of the hottest young acts to climb the U.K. dance chart.
Founded by brothers Josh and Tony Friend, the duo rounded out the band by adding Josh's roommate Matthew Curtis and guitarist Nick Tsang to the mix. The quartet officially debuted in February 2011 with "Feel Good," a soaring, energetic single that reached both the Top Ten on the U.K. dance chart and crossed over into the Top 40 of the main pop chart. The single was part of a 3-track EP, with the follow-up "Sunlight" faring even better; it climbed into the Top 20 of the pop chart and gave ModeStep a ton of momentum as it planned the release of its first album.
Proving its social media prowess, the band released "Sunlight" and their latest track, "Show Me a Sign" on YouTube. The former passed one million views within four days, while the latter bowed on March 19, 2012 to an even wider Internet audience clamoring for new music. The group also continues to use live radio streams to take their show to the masses in the digital age.
ModeStep took its act on the road when it made the opening bill of the Lostprophets Weapons tour 2012. They also have a full calendar to open 2013, with shows already scheduled across Europe beginning January 11 with a DJ set at the Headline Club Show in Grenanda, Spain. Their freshman album will bow three days later, and will contain 14 tracks and 7 bonus tracks with the Deluxe Edition.

Explore Undiscovered Food, Fashion & Fun.
It's nothing to laugh about: Doritos addictions are real. One whiff of nacho cheesiness and, suddenly, you're at four (snack) packs a day.
Time for an intervention. In today's video, nutritionist Kimberly Snyder gives us something to aspire to by showing us what's in her home fridge — and why. Since she specializes in beautifying foods, each item she stocks (from kale to almonds) has qualities that improve hair and/or skin.
Plus, she reveals her recipes for a Greek-inspired millet salad and her favorite protein smoothie, as well as instructions for what she calls "energy in a spoon."
We're thanking our lucky stars for Snyder, who works with too many celebs to name, because the how-tos and advice in her book, The Beauty Detox Solution, have done more for our skin than pricey face creams.
She's way cooler than Cool Ranch.
The Beauty Detox Solution is available online at amazon.com, $11. For more nutrition tips, recipes, and information on Snyder, go to kimberlysnyder.net.

If I order today, will they arrive before Halloween? (California)
It says one size but I'm a very heavy girl with thick thighs, what are the chances these would fit me? about 32 inches at mid thigh.. >.>
Does anyone have the plum & brown socks? They look really cute! But I was just wondering if the colors are as awesome as pictured.
I'm 4'8 and my thighs are about 15 inches wide, will these be too loose??
Hello, could I ask who's the manufacturer of those?
I'm in love with the Navy/Black... but are they as sheer as the picture looks? Or are they opaque and boldly coloured?
Can you special order sizing and color specifications?
I've lost the note that was in the package along with the thigh highs, how should I wash them?
My Mum was over the moon with joy! Best birthday present ever, she declared. The invoice art was icing on the cake and really made her smile. Thanks!!

Welcome to my JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes personal fundraising page!
I'm joining this year's Walk to raise funds to improve the lives of millions of people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The money I raise will help JDRF advance its strategic research plan to end T1D.
T1D is a life-threatening autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas stops producing insulin, which the body needs to get energy from food. Managing the disease requires constant carbohydrate counting, blood-glucose testing, and lifelong dependence on insulin. With T1D there are no days off, and there is no cure.
JDRF is working every day to change that. And, as the largest nongovernmental funder of T1D research, every dollar JDRF directs toward its research plan comes from donors like you.
Please support my commitment and donate to my Walk fundraising efforts today. Your gift will make a difference for millions of people affected by this devastating, life-threatening disease.
Thank you for your support!
If you think this page contains objectionable content, please inform the system administrator.
Your contribution and fundraising makes sure those with T1D live healthier lives today, and someday, a life free of T1D. Wyatt, a JDRF Youth Ambassador says:
Take the first step and be a hero to someone with T1D!

Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi - 2011
Main message board: for the discussion of topical track & field items only.
Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi - 2011
Since the Australian 08/09 season has long started, figured a thread covering results, news and gossip from downunder wouldn't be out of place.
Sally McLellan - reasonable season opener a couple of week ago with a winning 60/60H/200H treble in Queensland. Wil; be interesting to see how she goes in the US indoor series which is apparently a preparation for World Indoor Championships in 2010.
Steve Hooker - also competing in the US indoor season. Training partner and rival Paul Burgess opened his 2009 season with a 5.70 clearance last week.
Petrina Price - WJ medallist behind Vlasic half a dozen years ago - who's been on ''walkabout" since - recently came back with 1.91m and hopes of improvement to at least 1.95 this year.
You all know about the recent early selections for this year's World Championships - with Jana Rawlinson probably the only one who could (being defending World Champ) possibly complain. Jana was due to run in a professional (grass) 400m handicap in Tasmania a week or two ago but pulled out due to ''family commitments".
Athletics Australia is still without a major sponsor and some meets (eg the Canberra AIS meet usually held around Australia Day 26 January) have bitten the dust.

Great opener for 400mh Tristan Thomas at Canberra interclub tonight 50.11. Was quite blustery conditions. Thomas ran 46.01 in similar conditions last week over the flat so he is in good shape. If he stays injury free look for him to go 49 low this domestic season.
If he's already at 46 for the flat (under less than ideal conditions), I would expect at least mid-48 for the hurdles by the end of your season!
Yeah Thomas' 46.0 last week was a good run. 50.1 in windy 34 degrees heat with no real competition isn't so bad either (93 farenheit for our American friends).
So, paddyb, does that mean Thomas' 800m career has been shelved? (ran 1:47.83 PR at Zatopek in December to win by 1.5s).
Can't find a all-time list for the (very) rarely run women's 200mH... how does McLellan's 26.96 stack up.
Also huge improvement from 32 yo Nigerian 400m runner Bolaji Lawal to run 10.29 in Melbourne last weekend (I can't find a 100 PR for him, but his 400m is 45.84). Lawal beat 10.36 man Rouge-Serret by 0.23...
Another up and comer to be lost to football?

Triple Jump (13.36m),
400m (52.17sec),
Long Jump (6.15m)
Javelin (56.68m).
At Queensland All-Schools (Oct 2006 - at 14 years of age):
100m (11.47)
200m (23.44)
Javelin (55.59m)
At Queensland All-Schools (Oct 2007 - at 15 years of age):
Triple Jump (11.63m),
Long Jump (6.12m)
Javelin (61.97m)
at National All-Schools (Dec 2007 - at 15 years of age):

Javelin (65.50m).
At Queensland All-Schools (Oct 2008 - at 16 years of age):
200m (23.19)
Javelin (60.15m)
At Pacific Schools (Dec 2008 - at 16 years of age):
Javelin (71.84)
His Javelin has improved much more than other events
Pam Kilborn's Aussie best is 25.7 from 1971 (a world record for many years). Frenchwoman Patricia Girard has best auto time on record 25.82 (1999)

THE English husband of dual world champion Jana Rawlinson has been cleared to run for Australia at the world titles, if selected. Chris Rawlinson, the 2002 Commonwealth Games gold medallist, will be granted full citizenship on Monday week.
But Rawlinson's immediate focus is on a comeback to the track and the 400m hurdles beginning at Melbourne's Olympic Park on March 5. Wife Jana intends making her return to racing in Sydney a week earlier.
Yet Aussie football is such a waste, as is league. At least if he played Union, Oz would reap the benfits

more kudos in regaining wc than being 129'thest & 1st ozzie 89.03'er
Huh, he's talking Rugby League, not Aussie Football (which I take to mean Australian Rules Football - a whole lot more interesting and athletic game than League (or Union for that matter)).
My point is that as far as national pride and rooting for Oz, league and footie are a waste of time. If Luanga had played Union or athletics, then the nation would have a rooting interest. In fact Union is likely to be in the Olympics in 2016, not to mention the WC, Tri Nations, IRB sevens, the fall tours etc.
Ehh...you been swallowing the same stuff that gets our football players (of all codes) into trouble??????
RU belongs in the Olympics just as soon as they have made room for golf, darts, PS2 and dwarf-tossing...
Benfits??? U wouldn't be a Kiwi wouldya?
AS is right about AFL being more interesting downunder as crowd figures each week compared to either rugby code seem to prove.
Dunno if it's just a slow news day in Melbourne (shouldn't be with Grand Slam tennis in the air) but lotsa talk about Olympics and Comm Games in "Australia's sporting capital":
* Melbourne to step in if India not ready for 2010 Commonwealth Games
* Melbourne bid to host 2024 or 2028 Olympics?
PS - noted that Joel Milburn won a 21.20 200m in Sydney yesterday but that young Olivia Tauro failed to finish the 400m. Hopefully nothing too serious.
Sally McLellan looks in decent shape after two wins at the Qld Uni All-Comers meet on Friday night, including a 200m PB:
200m: 23.32 (+2.0)
Not sure these are posted to Aths Australia site yet (and I can't get in there at all for some reason right now), but here's a page with links to 2009 Aussie performance lists:
Tristan Thomas keeps up his strong early form, running a big 400m PB (and Tasmanian record) of 45.85 in Canberra. Old PR was 46.09.
Anthony Alozie 10.16w (+2.7)
Josh Ross 10.36w (+2.7)
Sally McLellan 11.48 (-0.4), 23.65 (1.2)
http://www.athletics.com.au/community/e ... et/results
Also new Australian U/20 3000m record from Richard Everest of 8:00.76
http://www.athletics.com.au/news/news/2 ... the_summit
McLellan ran in Brisbane yesterday, winning the 100H in 13.04 (+0.8).
Matt Davies (10.46 +0.3) beat Patrick Johnson (10.48).
Fairly low-key results round the country this weekend instead of the usual explosion we used to see at Canberra meet (now cancelled).
Lukyanenko and Hooker to stage Beijing rematch downunder and Brigitte Foster-Hylton to give Sally McLellan some competition

More on upcoming Lukyanenko-Hooker battles, plus a rumour of Asafa heading down under:
http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/st ... 18,00.html
Also Hooker and McLellan are heading up to NYC:
First decent meet of Aussie season is about to start down in Tasmania.
Start lists here: http://www.athletics.com.au/freestyler/ ... d38dfb.pdf
Livce results might come through at this site:
After a short glance on the results the 49,61 by Thomas seemt to be the most noteworthy.
Maybe along with 10,29 by Anthony Alozie in the 100m.
19 (in june) year old Ray Williams also preformed well with a 21,16 on the 200m. Equalled PB.
Especially since he clobbered the last hurdle hard.
Interesting to see that Steve Hooker followed up his OR in Beijing with a USI record in the PV and a near WIR in Millrose.
Especially since I was just watching him on local TV yesterday in a (pre-recorded) "Australia's Greatest Athlete" competition (think "Superstars") yesterday (his only "comp" between Beijing and NY.
The first contest saw them competing in golf and cricket events... Hopefully when they compete in some REAL sports, Hooker's speed and athleticism will give him an edge. Although the athletics event is likely to be a sprint, I'd like to see some of the motorsports, cricketers, rugby players and golfers vaulting.....
More - http://www.greatestathlete.com.au/
Does he have any T&F marks besides the PV? Speed like Bubka's apocryphal 10.2h? I would think you'd need 26' LJ credentials to vault 20'.
He's run 21.1 hand and 21.78 (-1.3) for 200m and from memory his LJ best was around 7m. He hasn't competed in any of these events for a few years though.
His Mum (Olympic Pentathlon 72/LJ 6.58m in 1978) and Dad (400/400H/800 1-45.36 in 73) were both versatile athletes. I always thought Steve had great potential as a decathlete, but why bother I guess when you might just end up with a WR and Olympic Gold in the vault.
Vault-emort remembers well. Here are some Hooker PRs I pulled together in another thread a while back:
100m: 10.68 (2005)
200m: 21.65 (2003) & 21.1h (2005)
LJ: 7.20m (2004)

As I also mentioned in another thread:
Summary of Hooker effort from Aths Australia site:
The site also mentions that
What they don't mention is that McLellan's time is also an Australian indoor record, thumping the previous records (by an Olympic champion no less) by 0.24 sseconds...

Breen ran 11.52 (+1.6) in Sydney on Saturday

On the road, Scott Westcoot put in another good performance in Japan on Weekend:
