Taurasi- Three Marvelous Verticals (Part Two – Luigi Tecce)

There are producers that should best be described as specialists, just as with surgeons. Luigi Tecce is a specialist's specialist when it comes to Taurasi, a fact I discovered when I was fortunate enough to taste a vertical of his "Poliphemo" Taurasi, a wine that truly is among the four or five best examples of its type.
Tecce's small estate is located in the town of Paternopoli, in the southeastern section of the Taurasi zone. He sources grapes from vineyards at his estate here as well as in Castelfranci, situated a bit farther south. These are the traditional pergola vines – known here as pergola avellinese – and have quite a bit of age; some of the vines at his Paternopoli holdings date back to 1930.
Certtainly, these old vines provide a great deal of insight into why Tecce's examples of Taurasi are so special. But it's also his minimal, traditionalist style of winemaking that is a key. He ferments his Taurasi in large chestnut casks, followed by maturation in mid-size casks (tonneaux) before being transferred to large oak casks (botti) for twelve months. Finally, the wines are bottled and released about a year later. Needless to say, the wood notes are in the background here, as the lovely dark cherry and chocolate notes of the Aglianico variety shine through.
This long period of aging in mid-size and large casks also results in wines that have a rich, beautifully defined mid-palate. For me, whether we are talking about Taurasi, Brunello, Barolo or any great Italian red wine, a well-defined mid-palate greatly adds to a wine's complexity and length, rounding it out and rendering it as a more complete wine.
Here are notes on the "Poliphemo" Taurasi of Luigi Tecce:
2009 - Deep ruby red; marvelous array of aromas – black cherry, menthol, tar and black plum and tobacco. Full-bodied with excellent concentration. Rich, layered mid-palate; beautifully balanced wine with nicely integrated wood notes, very good acidity and outstanding persistence. Complete and complex, this has a lengthy finish. Just a gorgeous wine, one of beautiful typicity and finesse and one that offers a distinct sense of place. Best in 20 years plus.
2008 – Lovely garnet color; aromas of dried cherry, currant, thyme and cedar. Medium-full with excellent concentration. Very good acidity (a signature of this vintage), elegant, polished tannins and very good persistence. Lovely, graceful wine. Not a powerhouse, but a wine of finesse. Peak in 12-15 years – although I may be a bit conservative with this estimate.
2007 – Deep garnet; aromas of bing cherry, dark chocolate and thyme. Medium-full with very good to excellent concentration. Rich mid-palate, excellent persistence, very good acidity. Best in 12-15 years.
2006 – Lovely garnet color; aromas of Queen Anne cherry, currant, tea leaf and a hint of strawberry. Medium-fulll with very good concentration. Very good acidity (once more!), lovely overall balance with beautifully polished tannins. A sublime wine, supple and elegant. Best in 15-20 years. Tecce noted that in 2006, it rained throughout August, resulting in a very late harvest (November 26!). How the difficulties of that growing season resulted in such a wonderful result!
2005 – Deep garnet; floral aromas (carnation) and hints of bing cherry and mulberry. Medium-full; the oak is quite subtle; soft tannins and lovely balance. This lacks the persistence and grip of the other wines, but again, it is a wine of supreme harmony. Best in 7-10 years, perhaps a bit longer.
2003 – Labeled as Irpinia IGT, but in all reality, a Taurasi. Deep garnet; aromas of dried cherry, hints of sage, dried currant and cedar. Medium-bodied; the tannins are a bit rough (relatively speaking, though other 2003 Taurasis have this same problem), balanced acidity, with excellent fruit persistence. Peak in 7-10 years.
2001 – Labeled not as Taurasi, but as "Omaggio a Varenne." Deep garnet; lovely aromas of bing cherry and red roses. Medium-full with very good to excellent concentration. Silky tannins, precise acidity and a lengthy finish with outstanding persistence. A joy to taste, this is elegant with great finesse and is a great wine! Drinking beautifully now, this will be at peak in another 10-12 years.
These examples of Luigi Tecce "Poliphemo" Taurasi do not scream at you. Rather they are reminders that greatness in red wine, is above all, about elegance, finesse and drinkability. Bigger does not make better in my opinion and there are several noted producers of Taurasi that make more deeply colored and extracted wines. If you prefer that style, that's fine. But for me, I will take the subtleties, intricacies and overall complexity of Luigi Tecce's wines any day.
Annual production of the "Poliphemo" Taurasi is only about 5000 bottles; Tecce also makes approximately the same amount of another 100% Aglianico called "Satyricon" that is a Campi Taurasini DOC (basically a younger version of Taurasi that has not been aged for the minimum three years as dictated by the disciplinare). So while these wines may be difficult to locate, they are a must-try for any serious lover of Taurasi.
My thanks to Luigi Tecce for presenting these wines and to his friend Sabino Loffredo of Pietracupa for his help in organizing this tasting.
Taurasi – Three Marvelous Verticals (Part One – Feudi di San Gregorio)

My recent trip to Campania focused on red wines from this lovely region. This was a welcome opportunity, as I've always been entranced by the delightful whites from here, most notably Greco di Tufo, Fiano di Avellino and Falanghina; the best examples of these wines are evidence that not all great Italian whites are from Alto Adige or Friuli. So it was nice to further my education of the first-rate reds wines from Campania, wines that in my opinion do not receive the attention they deserve.
In my last post, I wrote about a superb red wine made primarily from the Palagrello Rosso grape, an indigenous variety of the Caserta province in northern Campania. I also tasted several first-rate examples of wines made entirely or primarily from Piedirosso, which varied from charming versions of Lacryma Christi rosso, produced from vineyards near Mount Vesuvius to more complex, ageworthy wines from the Benevento province. Given the nature of viticulture in this region, where there are so many small hills that create so many microclimates, it was fascinating to taste such varied and delicious wines.
But in all reality, when we're discussing red wines of Campania, it's the Aglianico grape that is most famously recognized. This includes blends (often with Piedirosso) from a number of provinces and while there are many superb wines from the Taburno zone in the province of Benevento, made solely from Aglianico, it is Taurasi, made from a small zone in the province of Irpinia that is the region's most celebrated red wine.
I mentioned the Lonardo Taurasi "Coste" 2008 as one of the year's best Italian wines in my last post and I also tasted several outstanding examples from producers such as Villa Raiano, Antonio Caggiano and San Paolo; truly the 2008 Taurasi – both normale and riserve – are something special and I'll write more about these wines soon.
By now, you've probably noticed that I love Taurasi and why not? It's a wine that when it's at its best, can compete with the greatest red wines of the world. It's a wine that can age 25 years from outstanding vintages and in some special instances, it even shows well after forty and fifty years – evidence of that will be noted later on in these posts.

So while being able to sample so many examples of Taurasi during the Vendemmia Taurasi event in Avellino was a very special happening for me, imagine how I felt when I was able to attend vertical tastings of Taurasi from three celebrated producers: Feudi di San Gregorio, Luigi Tecce and Mastroberardino. I really was in heaven for a few days!
There were two verticals in one at Feudi; the first focused on the regular bottling of Taurasi, with the second dealing exclusively with their finest cru, Piano di Montevergine. The regular bottling has gone through numerous changes; one of the most important is the enologist that made the various wines. The oldest wines in this vertical were the 1998 and 1999, made by Luigi Moio, one of Campania's finest consulting winemakers. The 1998 was in fine shape, with very good acidity and persistence; I noted that the wine would drink well for another 3-5 years. The 1999 was a step up, offering dried cherry, dried brown herb and cedar aromas with beautifully integrated wood notes, subtle spice in the finish, polished tannins and very good acidity. This is showing well now and will drink well for another 7-10 years. Both the 1998 and 1999 offer excellent varietal character and were made in a style that treasured overall harmony, rather than extreme ripeness or power.
The 2001, made by Riccardo Cotarella, is a wine with deeper extract that pushes the fruit to the forefront. It's a different style that than of Moio, but given the beauty of the 2001 growing season, this is a highly successful wine, one with very good acidity and an elegant finish. There's more of the dark chocolate notes that are common with Aglianico in this bottling as well as a touch of anise in the perfumes. Overall, it's a very elegant wine that will be at its best in another 7-10 years.
The more recent vintages – namely 2007, 2008 and 2009 – were all impressive, with the 2007 and 2008 as 4-star wines (excellent) in my opinion, with the 2009 just a notch below that. Aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, plum and chocolate are common to each wine, with the 2008 offering slightly higher acidity than the other two examples. The 2007 has the stuffing to age the longest – perhaps another 7-10 years, but the 2008 has beautiful structure and may be in peak shape at the same time frame. Capaldo and his current director of winemaking Pier Paolo Sirch, have decided to cut back on small oak maturation of this wine, aiming for a greater percentage of large wooden casks, as Capalado believes small oak does not really show off the varietal character of Aglianico as well as the bigger barrels.
The second vertical of Feudi di San Gregorio Taurasi dealt with the Piano di Montevergine cru, located near the town of Taurasi. There were seven wines, from the oldest, 1996 to the youngest, the 2008, which will be released in the market later this year. This is a rich, full-bodied Taurasi that shows impeccable balance throughout, even in lesser years (I loved the 2002 version of this wine, which I had tasted a few years ago; this from a subpar growing season that offered lovely richness o the palate and sleek tannins).
Again the older wines – 1996 and 1998 – were made by Luigi Moio and are beautifully complete and complex. The 1996 in particular had advanced to another level, where tertiary aromas had developed with precise notes of truffle and dried cherry being accompanied by notes of thyme. Offering very good persistence, this was a wine nearing peak, which should arrive in another 5-7 years.
The 1998 was a bit fresher with very good acidity and beautiful structure; there were aromas of dried cherry along with a hint of mocha and the lovely ruby red color made this wine seem younger than fifteen years of age. Offering excellent persistence and a long, elegant finish, this is a wine of great breeding, finesse and varietal character; it is a remarkable wine with a definite sense of place. This has at least another 10-12 years of life ahead of it; I found it outstanding!
The 2001 is a solid wine with big weight on the palate as well as very good ripeness and good freshness. I rated this as excellent, estimating that peak drinking will be in another 10-12 years. The 2004 is deeply colored with very good ripeness as well as impressive acidity. The tannins are big, but not overpowering and overall the balance is excellent. Give this 15-20 years of cellaring before it reaches peak condition.
The youngest wines – 2007 and 2008 – are quite impressive; the former has expressive aromas of milk chocolate and purple iris flowers backed by big extraction and rich, young tannins. There is perhaps a touch too much wood in this wine, at least for my tastes, yet overall the balance is first-rate. This definitely needs time to settle down and should peak in 12-15 years.
Finally the 2008 is a remarkable wine and for me, the finest version of Piano di Montevergine Taurasi since the 1998. Displaying aromas of black cherry, milk chocolate and a hint of raspberry, this is a sensual wine that is a bit more subdued and less forward than the 2007. The tradeoff, however, is that the 2008 has ideal structure with very good acidity and excellent grip in the finish. The wood notes are beautifully integrated and the tannins are quite elegant. This is certainly great evidence of where the new direction of Feudi di San Gregorio under the leadership of Capaldo and Sirch is headed, as this is a textbook Taurasi that offers a lovely expression of terroir, all the while maintaining its focus on harmony – this is a wine definitely meant for the dinner table, although high scores are certain to follow (if that means anything to you). The 2008 Piano di Montevergine is one of the winery's best offerings of the past five years; an outstanding wine, it will drink beautifully for at least another 15-20 years.
My thanks to Antonio Capaldo and his team at Feudi di San Gregorio for organizing this wonderful tasting!
Mastroberardino – Top 100
Today, I am beginning my posts on the Top 100 wine estates of Italy. I like to mix things up a bit, so instead of starting with a producer from Piemonte or Toscana, let's commence with a great producer from Campania – Mastroberardino.
Mastroberardino is arguably the most classical wine estate in Campania; the family certainly represents everything that is good about the tradition of this land. Long-time growers in the province of Avellino, some thirty miles east of Napoli and the sea, the family established its winery in the town of Atripalda in 1878. Back in the 1940s, Antonio Mastroberardino and his father worked tirelessly to save indigenous varieties such as Greco, Fiano and Aglianico from extinction, as post World War ll vineyards in this area (and much of Italy) were in poor condition. It is not a stretch to say that thanks to the efforts of the Mastroberardino family at that time, we can enjoy wines made from these varieties today.
Piero Mastroberadino, son of Antonio, currently manages the company and has brought about changes that have updated the winery, bringing it into the 21st century, as per modern equipment in the cellars. He has also put a great deal of time and money into research of new clones of Greco, Fiano, Coda di Volpe and Aglianico and has assembled a first-rate team of employees on the viticultural as well as production side of the business.
All of these changes however have been undertaken to preserve the mission of his father in producing the finest examples of Campanian wines from indigenous varieties while maintaning tradition. "When you are in the position as the leader of a family business, you have to take the values and regive the values, possibly to a higher level. This is not my decision, this is about cultural and social values," Piero Mastroberardino comments.
The best wines of Mastroberardino include:
- Greco di Tufo "Nova Serra"
- Fiano di Avellino "Radici"
- Fiano di Avellino "More Maiorum"
- Falanghina "Morabianca"
- Taurasi "Radici"
- Taurasi "Naturalis Historia"
- Villa dei Misteri
Of all the wines produced by Mastroberardino, the Taurasi "Radici" is their most acclaimed bottling. Produced today entirely from Aglianico, this is a long-lived, deeply concentrated red that offers expressive notes of black cherry and bitter chocolate. Bottlings from the 1960s are still drinking beautifully (especially the 1968) and examples from the finest recent vintages, such as 1999, 2001 and 2004 should drink well for another 15-20 years.
The term radici is used for this most famous bottling of Taurasi (as well as for a selection of Fiano di Avellino). This is quite fitting, given the family's respect of tradition, as the word radici in Italian means "roots." As Piero Mastroberardino says, "the people here work in the continuity, the roots and the history of this terroir." Thanks to Piero and his family for staying the course!

Puglia – Underappreciated Reds
Given that all twenty regions in Italy are wine-producing areas, it stands to reason that some of these regions get overlooked when it comes to the quality of their products. You just don't hear that much about the red wines from Puglia, so I thought I'd address that in this post.
Puglia is the region in the far southeastern reaches of Italy that everyone recognizes as the "heel of the boot." The fact that more people know that piece of trivia as compared to its wines is a bit sad, but the overall quality of Apulian reds is quite good and improving all the time. Historically, this has been a region of large production, meaning much bulk wine, but thankfully that reality is changing.
The most famous red from Puglia – at least in the United States – is Salice Salentino. This is produced in the southern part of the region in a district north of the town of Lecce and southwest of the major city of Brindisi. Named for the eponymous commune, Salice Salentino is made primarily from a local variety known as Negroamaro, which literally means "black bitter." The variety has deep color and offers aromas of black cherry and other black fruits; the acidity levels are not too high and the tannins are lightly bitter, but usually not overly aggressive. Salice Salentino must have a minimum of 80% Negroamaro, with the remaining blend often contaning another local variety, Malvasia Nera, which adds acidity and fragrance to the finished wine.
Most examples of Negroamaro are meant to be consumed within 3-7 years of the vintage. Some lighter, fresher examples are priced very reasonably ($12-$14), while the richer, more complex examples that can age for close to a decade are often priced around $25. Among the best examples of a complex, ageworthy Salice Salentino are the "Donna Lisa" bottling from Leone de Castris, the "Armecolo" from Castel di Salve and the "Selvarossa" Riserva offering from Cantine due Palme.
Here is a short list of the best producers of Salice Salentino:
- Agricole Vallone
- Candido
- Cantele
- Cantine de Falco
- Castel di Salve
- Castello Monaci
- Conti Zecca
- Feudi di Guagnano
- Feudi di San Marzano
- Leone de Castris
- Li Veli
- Tenute al Bano Carrisi
Another well-known red variety in Puglia is Primitivo, used throughout the region, but primarily in the south (many producers that make a Salice Salentino also bottle a Primitivo). Most researchers believe that from DNA evidence, Primitivo is a genetic parent of Zinfandel, the famed red variety of California. Primitivo offers rich spice, zesty tannins, deep color and ripe black fruit flavors (black raspberry, black cherry, black plum).
Most examples of Primitivo focus on the ripeness of the variety and its fruit-forward nature. Generally, most bottlings of Primitivo do not offer the complexity or graceful qualities of a Salice Salentino, but there are examples that are excellent, especially the DOC wines of Primitivo di Manduria. Among those are the "Sessantanni" from Feudi di San Marzano (named for the average age of the vines – 60 years), the "Papale" and "Chicca" bottlings from Vigne e Vini and the "Feudo del Conte" from Antiche Terre del Salento.
Another excellent wine district is Castel del Monte, in north-central Puglia, located a bit west of Bari, the region's capital. The primary grape here is Nero di Troia, also known as Uva di Troia. While this has ripe black cherry flavors, there is very good acidity with medium-weight tannins, meaning a well-made wine made from this variety has a nice degree of finesse and elegance to go with its richness.
Other varieties used in a Castel del Monte DOC red (the wine is named for a famous castle in the area) include Montepulciano and Aglianico. There are monovarietal Castel del Monte reds as well; these include Pinot Nero and Bombino Rosso (there are also bottlings of Castel del Monte whites – Bombino Bianco is the principal variety here – and lovely rosés as well, often made from Nero di Troia or Aglianico).
Here is a short list of the best producers of Castel del Monte rosso:
- Rivera
- Tenuta Cocevola
- Tormaresca
- Torre Vento
One note on a special Castel del Monte red. The "Bocca di Lupo" from Tormaresca is a gorgeous 100% Aglianico with layers of fruit, rich tannins and beautiful complexity. This is reminiscent of some of the finest bottlings of Aglianico from the nearby Basilicata region. Given its seductive black cherry fruit and notes of chocolate, this is so tempting upon release, but this is a wine that is at is best some 7-12 years after the vintage.
As with other Italian regions, producers in Puglia are crafting some beautiful IGT reds. Among the best are the "Graticciaia" from Agricole Vallone, a wonderfully concentrated, beautifully structured 100% Negroamaro; "Duca di Aragona" from Candido, a blend of Negroamaro and Montepulciano that is a graceful blend of spice, tobacco and black cherry fruit; "Priante" from Castel di Salve, a 50/50 blend of Negroamaro and Montepulciano that is quite rich and ripe and shows a more modern approach with these varieties, yet is beautifully balanced and the "Torre Testa" from Tenute Rubino, a powerful offering made from the indigenous variety, Susumaniello.
Finally I have to mention one of the most enjoyable – and at the same time – most rarely seen DOC reds from Puglia. It's Cacc'e Mmitte di Lucera (pronounced kotch-ay meet-ay dee lew-chair-a) and it's from a small zone near Foggia in the far northern reaches of the region. Only a handful of producers make this wine; the leading estate is Alberto Longo. This is a medium-weight red made at Longo from Nero di Troia, Montepulciano and Bombino Bianco. This is a delightful wine with moderate tannins and tasty red cherry fruit with distinct spice and earthiness – it has the fruitiness of a Dolcetto with the rustic qualities of a simple French Cotes-du-Rhone. It doesn't cost much and it's reminder of the simple charms of traditional Puglian red wine.
Finding Values
Good times or bad times, most of us are constantly looking for values and it's no different when it comes to Italian wines. Despite a situation where the Euro is much stronger than the US dollar (a situation that's been this way for several years), there are some excellent values in Italian wines.
Here are a few ways to find some of the best:
Look for lesser-known wines from famous wine zones
Throughout Italy, you have the opportunity to find some wonderful wines that have much in common with their other famous bottlings. For example, in Piemonte, there are two regally bred red wines, Barbaresco and Barolo, that are made exclusively from the Nebbiolo grape. These are wines that are released three or four years after the harvest and are quite powerful; the best offerings from the finest vintages can drink well for 25 years or more. Naturally, wines such as these will cost $50-$125 a bottle upon release.
Yet you can purchase a very good wine made exclusively from Nebbiolo at a fraction of these prices. Look for a Nebbiolo d'Alba (Alba is the city in Piemonte that is very close to the Barbaresco and Barolo vineyards). These wines are made from younger vineyards and are not aged as long, so they are not as powerful, but most still drink well for 3-7 years after the vintage, with most needing a few years after release to round out. Many of the finest producers of Barbaresco and Barolo produce a Nebbiolo d'Alba and prices will depend on the status of the estate, but many can be purchased for $25-$28. A few of my favorite bottlings of Nebbiolo d'Alba are from Fontanafredda, Pio Cesare, Damilano, Renato Ratti, Monti and Brezza.
A few producers in this area produce a wine known as Langhe Nebbiolo, which is also 100% Nebbiolo (Langhe is a large area that encompasses the Barolo and Barbaresco zones). These wines are priced similarly to a Nebbiolo d'Alba, though they may be a few dollars higher. Examples of Langhe Nebbiolo I like come from Elio Grasso, Ca'Viola, Sergio Barale and Marcarini.
Finally, across the Tanaro River in the Roero district, you can find some excellent exmaples of Nebbiolo labeled as Roero Rosso. As the soils here are lighter, these versions of Nebbiolo are relatively soft and are at their best 3-7 years after the vintage. My favorites include those from Matteo Correggia and Malvira.
There is a similar situation in the southern region of Campania, where the most famous red is Taurasi, made from at least 85% Aglianico. This is another long-lived red that can age for 25-40 years in a few instances. This wine is often $40-60 upon release, which makes them less expensive than most bottlings of Barolo or Barbaresco, but for most of us, $40-60 is still a lot of money.
The value solution here is to purchase a simple Aglianico that cannot be labeled as Taurasi, usually as it has not been aged for the minimum of three years. For example, most of these wines on the market in the summer and fall of 2009 are from the 2007 vintage, while most bottlings of Taurasi now for sale are from the 2005 vintage. These bottlings of Aglianico are labeled differently, but all are excellent values, usually priced in the $16-$20 range. These wines have ripe black cherry fruit, flavors of bitter chocolate and notes of spice and tar, so they are fine partners for heartier foods. Look for the Aglianico from Mastroberardino, the Aglianico (Irpinia DOC) from Vinosia and the bottling known as Rubrato (Campania Aglianico IGT) from Feudi di San Gregorio.
I'll discuss more value wines in a future posts, concentrating on excellent wines from lesser-celebrated wine regions such as Pugila, Abruzzo and Marche. There are plenty of beautiful values out there from Italy, if you only know where to look.
Great Reds of Campania – Aglianico
Along with some superb whites made from Greco, Fiano, Falanghina and a few other indigenous varieties, there are also some remarkable red wines produced in Campania. Without question, Aglianico is the principal variety of these bottlings.
The most famous Aglianico-based wine in Campania is Taurasi, produced from grapes grown in a small zone in the province of Avellino (two great whites – Greco di Tufo and Fiano di Avellino – are also produced in this province; see previous post). Taurasi must contain at least 85% Aglianico and must be aged for a minimum of three years, with one of those years in wood. (While most producers do make their Taurasi exclusively from Aglianico, some blend in small amounts of Piedirosso, a red variety with higher acidity and softer tannins.)
Taurasi features the black cherry fruit and bitter chocolate notes of Aglianico along with its firm tannins. Most examples of Taurasi need a few years to settle down and round out to shed some youthful bitterness. Most examples from average to good vintages are at their best 5-7 years after the vintage date, while the best bottlings from the finest producers in the best years age anywhere from 12-20 years. A few exceptional bottlings, such as the 1968 from Mastroberardino, are still drinking well. This longevity has earned Taurasi the nickname, "Barolo of the South."
Among the finest producers of Taurasi are the following:
- Mastroberardino
- Feudi di San Gregorio
- Terredora
- Antonio Caggiano
- Vinosia
- Cantine Lonardo (Contrade de Taurasi)
Most bottlings of Taurasi are in the $35-$45 price range, which puts them well below the best bottlings of more famous Italian reds such as Brunello di Montalcino or Barolo. If you are looking for a lesser expensive example of Aglianico, look for a bottling simply listed as Aglianico Campania or Irpinia Aglianico which will be priced between $18 to $25. Basically, these are examples of Aglianico that have not been aged long enough to be called Taurasi, so they must be labeled differently. These wines are often from younger vines and while they will not age as long as a Taurasi, they still drink well for anywhere from three to seven years, and are much more approachable upon release. Look for these bottlings from Mastroberardino, Feudi di San Gregorio (Rubrato) and Vinosia, among others.
Another great example of Aglianico is Aglianico del Taburno from the province of Benevento to the north of Avellino. This DOC is home to some excellent wines; with less acidity than Taurasi, a typical Aglianico del Taburno will not age as long as that wine, but it has the same flavors and richness and is an impressive wine. Look for examples from producers such as:
- Fontanavecchia
- Cantina del Taburno
- Ocone
A change in style
As with many famous red wines throughout Italy, Taurasi has undergone some changes over the past decade. Most bottlings up until the mid 1980s or early 1990s were aged in large oak casks known as botti grandi; a few producers even aged their wines in chestnut barrels.
Today, however most producers use barriques for aging their Taurasi, which has changed the style of the wine, as there is more wood influence (vanilla, toast, spice) from these small barrels. Mastroberardino, for example, starts the aging in barriques (only one-third new) and then finishes it in large casks, so their Taurasi has just a touch of modernity; though different from the older bottlings, their newer examples of Taurasi are still subdued when it comes to oak.
Yet other producers use only barriques for aging; several of these wines have been awarded top ratings from certain wine publications, so it's easy to see why more producers are using small barrels to age their Taurasi. But the question remains if these new examples will age as long as the classically produced bottlings from the 1950s, '60s and '70s. Time will tell, I guess.

It used to be that upon hearing that phrase, I'd used to break out into a cold sweat. For the simple reason that I usually had no idea. In recent years, I've become much, much better about menu planning and grocery shopping… and the result is that now I can usually answer that question within seconds, along with what's for lunch and breakfast and what snacks we have on hand. And if I can't answer it off the top of my head, I refer to my pretty little "EAT" notepad on the side of the fridge, and my memory is refreshed. Note that I said usually. Because, as good as I may be… I still have days—or weeks—where I'm scrambling and looking for last minute menu ideas.
It goes without saying that Pinterest is a great place to look. But, if you are anything like me, you go on for dinner ideas and the next thing you know you are pinning everything but potential dinner ideas. So, in the past few months, I've found myself scrolling through the following sites more and more, and saving Pinterest for those rare and blissful moments of silence.
Here are some of my favorite food sites these days. (In no particular order.)
I feel like this one is kind of a "gimme." You know, since it's the food network and all… and it has tons of celebrity chefs featured. But I actually became a fan of this one from the magazine by the same name. It's one of the few magazines that I subscribe too, and every month I found myself heading right to the "Fast Suppers" section. Now, I just head right towards the "30-Minute Dinners" on the site… or I swing by the "Easy Pantry Recipes" to see what I can whip up. I love the food photography, and most of their meals are something we all enjoy. While not in my "regular" click-list… this site also offers many, many "Family Friendly" weeknight meal sections as well. This summer, my oldest and I plan to make a few meals from their "Cook Together. Eat Together" page.
I've been a loooooong-time fan of Ree Drummond and her amazing kitchen creations. (Well before she was even affiliated with the above site/station/magazine.) There are certain meals of hers that are in our constant rotation around here… but when I'm in a pinch and trying to figure out dinner… I head right to her "16-Minute Meal" section. I adore her writing style and the humor she brings to all her posts. But what I love most is that she just makes really.good.food. I have yet to make a recipe of hers that my husband hasn't said, "Wow! This is good!" In fact, both he and Mini know that when they see shrimp and enchilada sauce in the same grocery order there's Quesadillas de Camarones on the menu for the week!
This is one of the newer sites to my repertoire… but, wow, what an addition it is! The blogger highlights that she's not professionally trained, and she focuses on quick and easy meals for the "everyday home cook." {<– in other words, me.} I feel that this site is super approachable and not at all intimidating. Not only has Chung-Ah posted a compilation of Thirty-Minute Meals, she has other great compilations in her Recipe Index—"Asian Inspired," "Slow Cooker," and "Vegetarian." [Spoiler alert: one of my upcoming posts is based on one of her recipes.] All of my boys applaud—literally applaud—when I make certain dishes from her site.
I'm back on the weelicious bandwagon after a looong sabbatical. I first stumbled across them when trying to pack better lunches. (I cannot remember who first directed me to them.) Then, I got the lunch thing under control… and I didn't visit. Flash forward to a few months ago when I was struggling to find meals that we all would like/be able to eat… and I made my way back. I've been a sucker for the "Family Meals" section ever since. One day… I may actually explore some of the other sections too!
And, when all else fails… there's always pinterest… Right?!
Where do you go for mealtime inspiration?!

Enjoy this warm weather now. A cold front will be moving in on Tuesday. Starting on Wednesday, you will notice quite a change, with highs only in the lower 50s. Lows will be in the mid 30s. We'll start to warm back up by the weekend, but only by about 10 degrees.

I'm happy to announce 2 new features on my website that I have been working on since Christmas.
#1: Live Weather Cam embedded into the main page. (Please note: You must have Windows Media Player installed on your computer and you must be using Internet Explorer to view the image. Besides that, the only downside is that only 4 people can view the cam at a time, so please be patient.)
#2: Time lapse view of the previous day's weather. (Just click on the link located on the main page under the webcam image)

Did you know that...
The most rapid temperature change in the history of the United States occurred on this date in 1980. That is when the temperature at Great Falls, Mont. rose 49 degrees (from -32 to 17 degrees) in just seven minutes due to a warm Chinook wind.

... Strong gusty winds expected into this evening...
A dry cold front will move across the area late this afternoon. Strong west to northwest winds will accompany and follow the passage of the cold front. Wind speeds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph are possible through much of this evening before winds finally begin to diminish overnight.
Winds on elevated surfaces such as bridges could be even stronger. Motorists... especially those in high profile vehicles... should use caution while traveling this evening.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio all hazards... TV...

I know....I know. I'm starting to sound like a broken record. A strong cold front will approach our area this evening. Since we have been so warm, the clash of these two air masses will create a line of thunderstorms....some could reach severe limits.
******************************************************** ... Severe weather outlook...
A warm front will lift north of the region this evening with an unseasonably warm... moist and unstable air mass blanketing southeast Georgia and southern South Carolina tonight.

Mother Nature gave us some much needed rain this evening. I picked up about a half of an inch at my house.
We'll start to dry out overnight and Saturday looks pretty decent. There is another area of low pressure that will form along the Gulf Coast tomorrow, however, and will affect our weather on Sunday. Last models are trending for rain later in the evening on Sunday.
Saturday Partly sunny. Highs in the mid 70s. Southwest winds around 5 mph.
Saturday Night Mostly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers. Lows in the mid 50s. Light and variable winds.

Our best daffodil displays
With St David's Day on Sunday 1 March 2015, we welcome the sight of daffodils as the first sign of spring. Many of the gardens we care for are finally bursting into colour after weeks of grey skies.
Treat your mum on Mother's Day
Why not spoil your mum on Mother's Day with a day out she'll never forget, at the special places we look after. Get crafty in a creative workshop or tempt her with a tasty teatime treat.
Places to visit by theme
Tudor connections
Many of our places have links to prominent figures or events in the Tudor period. From royal visits and queenly hauntings to religious upheaval and Shakespeare's verse, discover the stories our places have to tell.
The Shakespeare trail
Tread in the bard's footsteps, see his portrait up-close and wonder at the famous beetle-wing dress Ellen Terry wore as Lady Macbeth.
Literary connections
Generations of writers, playwrights and poets found inspiration in the beauty of the places where they lived and worked. We now care for many of these special places so you can discover the inspiration behind the words for yourself.
Just off the motorway
If you're out and about in the car and are in need of a break, why not drop in on one of our special places. Lots of our places are near to the main routes but a million miles away from the rush and congestion of the motorways. You'll discover peaceful places where you can enjoy a complete change of pace, see an amazing house in a beautiful setting and even a slice of cake.
Famous residents
From childhood homes to places where they gained their inspiration, many of our houses have connections to famous faces through the ages.
Haunted houses
The many old houses, castles and abbeys that we care for are full of things to look at. But at a number of our places you might also get to see a little bit more than you bargained for. Several properties are rumoured to be happy hunting grounds for an assortment of ghost and ghouls. Here are a few of our spooky stories.
Intriguing curiosities
We've unearthed some of our most intriguing curiosities, fascinating stories and unusual objects.
The Jane Austen trail
If you're a Jane Austen fan, the names of the settings in her stories are as readily recognisable as those of her characters.

Life below stairs
Get a taste of what it was like to serve in our greater houses. This is a selection of our houses that allow you to experience life below stairs.

Connected with the sea

POLITICO has a pretty thorough account of literally everything that happened at the White House Correspondents Dinner last night (nicknamed the "Nerd Prom" for some reason), but there were still some interesting election-related moments at the dinner and the preceding brunch hosted by Tammy Haddad.

RPS' Simulation-Based Training solutions receive AHA Endorsement
American Hospital Association (AHA) endorses Simulation-Based Training solutions
It's not every day that Superman comes calling at Raytheon.
But when the creators of "Man of Steel," the latest Superman movie, needed to make a military command center look as authentic as possible, there was only one place to go for the right communications gear.
Raytheon is a world leader in protected communications, and its handsets are a common sight in the most important U.S. military headquarters (learn more about the phone and protected satellites). The company supplies phones to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), the Pentagon's National Military Command Center and more than 50 other installations around the world.
"One of the production executives just called me up and said, "Hey, we would like to use your phones as props in the new Superman movie,'" said Lynn Hitchcock, technical director of Secure Communications for Raytheon. "I told him we could do better than just props."
Raytheon shipped some phones to the set. Moviegoers who watch closely can see the gray phones with black and red buttons emblazoned with Raytheon's logo.
Read more about Raytheon's command, control, communications, computers and intelligence (C4ISR) technology.

@Oceana - The lack of residue from quilter's tape is one of its main draws. I use it for holding several different things in place temporarily where stickiness would be unacceptable.
I carry a large purse with more than I will probably ever need in it, and quilter's tape is one of the things I carry around. When my office ran out of sticky notes one day and I had several messages to deliver to people who were out of the office, I used regular copier paper, scissors, and quilter's tape to make my own.
I taped the notes to the tops of computer monitors, desk surfaces, and telephones. I imagine that people were momentarily upset about a note being taped to their monitors, but since it left no sticky glue behind, they never complained to me.

Appendix A: Additional Resources
Appendix A: Additional Resources
There are a number of additional resources that are available regarding crisis response. These include the following:
Federal Emergency Management Agency
Web site: www.fema.gov
Red Cross
Web site: www.redcross.org
The Office of Homeland Security
Web site: www.whitehouse.gov/homeland
A Guide to Citizen Preparedness
Are You Ready? A Guide to Citizen Preparedness brings together facts on disaster survival techniques, disaster-specific information, and how to prepare for and respond to both natural and human disasters.
Web site: www.ready.gov/are-you-ready-guide
Disaster Help
The Ready.gov Web site is an initiative of the federal government aimed at greatly enhancing Disaster Management on an interagency and intergovernmental basis.
Web site: http://www.ready.gov
Appendix B: Critical Incident Organizational Chart
Appendix C: Emergency Shutoffs
Appendix C: Emergency Shutoffs
Information regarding emergency shutoff locations and procedures is contained in notebooks located in the Plant Services Building at the Front Desk and the Plant Services Library. These notebooks are updated regularly by the Plant Services Department.
Appendix D: Emergency Evacuation of Persons with Disabliities
Appendix D: Emergency Evacuation of Persons with Disabilities
Prepare yourself before an emergency occurs by locating refuges and exits. Discuss and practice with your colleagues how an evacuation will be handled. After identifying the exits, each person with a disability should ask a co-worker, friend, or fellow student to provide assistance if an emergency develops.
Evacuating a disabled or injured person by yourself is the last resort. Consider your options and the risks of injuring yourself and others in an evacuation attempt.
Some people have conditions that can be aggravated or triggered if they are moved incorrectly. Remember that environmental conditions (smoke, debris, loss of electricity) will complicate evacuation efforts.
General guidelines (may not apply in every circumstance)
- Two or more trained volunteers, if available, should conduct the evacuation.
- Do not evacuate disabled people in their wheelchairs. Wheelchairs will be evacuated, later if possible.
- Always ask disabled people how you can help before attempting any rescue technique or giving assistance. Ask
how they can best be assisted or moved, and if there are any special considerations or items that need to come
with them. - Before attempting an evacuation, volunteers and the people being assisted should discuss how any lifting will be
done and where they are going. - Proper lifting techniques (e.g. bending the knees, keeping the back straight, holding the person close before lifting,
and using leg muscles to lift) should be used to avoid injury to rescuers' backs. Ask permission of the evacuee if an
evacuation chair or similar device is being considered as an aid in an evacuation. When using such devices, make
sure the person is secured properly. Be careful on stairs and rest at landings if necessary. - Certain lifts may need to be modified depending on the disabilities of the people.
Hearing Impaired
Some buildings on campus are equipped with fire alarm strobe lights; however, some are not. Persons with hearing impairmentsmay not hear audible emergency alarms and will need to be alerted of emergency situations. Emergency instructions can be given by writing a short explicit note to evacuate.
Get the attention of a person with a hearing disability by touch and eye contact. Clearly state the problem. Gestures and pointing are helpful, but be prepared to write a brief statement if the person does not seem to understand. Offer visual instructions to advise of safest route or direction by pointing toward exits or evacuation maps.
Visually Impaired
Most people with a visual impairment will be familiar with their immediate surroundings and frequently traveled routes. Since the emergency evacuation route is likely different from the commonly traveled route, persons who are visually impaired may need assistance in evacuating. Give verbal instructions to advise about safest route, estimated distances, and direction. DO NOT grasp a visually impaired person's arm. Ask if he or she would like to hold onto your arm as youexit, especially if there is debris or a crowd. Give other verbal instructions or information (i.e. "elevators cannot be used," " there is a handrail on your right," "here is the curb; step up").
Appendix E: Media Protocol
The Director of strategic communication will coordinate the following efforts:
Prepare a news release (with regular updates) for the Switchboard Operator, appropriate media organizations, educational institutions, and church and community leaders.
Prepare an update for the campus Web Site.
Use voice mail and e-mail to notify faculty, staff, and students of the time and place of any crisis related meetings or information.
Announce the plan for disseminating further information during the day (notes in mailboxes, voice mail, email, meetings, Chapel and special phone lines, etc.
Distribute the names of the CMT through publication in relevant campus directories.
Keep the Executive Leadership Team members informed regarding the crisis.
Establish a voice mail hotline for on and off-campus inquiries (need #). Establish a separate line for the families of victims (need #). Keep copies of the message pertaining to each of these.
Supervise ESC 109 as the media briefing area and arrange for all corresponding services (food and drinks, phone needs, fax access, etc.). The secondary location is Hoover 104.
Provide for and coordinate the videotaping and/or photographic documentation of all scenarios associated with or relevant to the crisis.
Collect newspaper articles, and record audio and video news reports.
Recruit students for general assistance activities (food, media assistance, etc.)
Appendix F: Mutual Aid
In consideration of the advantages to be derived, George Fox University may join with other agencies in mutual assistance agreements to provide for the dispatch of equipment and personnel needed to respond to an emergency. The equipment and personnel listed in the mutual aid agreement shall be made available upon request to the highest ranking person available in the chain of Emergency Command.
Each party waives all claims against the other for compensation for any loss, damage, personal injury, or death occurring as the consequence of the performance of this agreement. Current mutual aid agreements include those between George Fox University and Friendsview Manor.
Newberg Friends Church and George Fox University agree to serve as the designated emergency evacuation site for Friendsview Manor Health Center patients in the event of an emergency that requires the complete or partial evacuation of the patients from the facility. Newberg Friends Church Trustees approved making Friends Center available as an evacuation site in May 1990 in response to a letter received from Friendsview Manor dated April 4, 1990. The church trustees requested advance notice ofany "drill" exercises.

Appendix G: Fire Alarm Procedures for Residence Halls
Appendix G: Fire Alarm Procedures for Residence Halls
Follow this procedure anytime a fire alarm sounds. Do not assume it is a false alarm or just a drill. Complacency about
fair alarms is one of the main causes of death and injury. Fire and smoke may spread rapidly through areas of a
building without much warning that there is any impending danger.
Stay Calm, think clearly, then act.
Close windows, warn others and knock on doors on your way out. Do not open doors. Knock loudly and shout.
The fire may be in that room and opening the door may cause it to spread rapidly. -
Close doors behind you if you are the last one out.
Instruct others to stay calm and to proceed in an orderly manner to the assembly point.
At the assembly point count heads and determine if anyone is unaccounted for. Tell a Campus Official
(Security Officer or Area Coordinator) or a Fireman if someone is unaccounted for. Provide as much detail as
possible. -
Resident Assistants shall stay on location and help direct the students from your floor until a Campus Official
(University Student Life or Plant Services Staff Employee) or a Fireman dismisses you. -
Call 911 and Campus Security (ext 2090) if the Area Coordinator is not onsite or you are not sure if either has
been contacted. Not all buildings have fire alarm systems that automatically call the fire department. -
Do not allow anyone to re-enter the building until a Campus Official (University Student Life or Plant Services
Staff Employee) or a Fireman announces an ALL CLEAR.
If there is no alarm but you smell smoke, see flames, or are alerted to a fire – stay calm but act immediately – warn
others, sound the alarm by pulling alarm box, shout and pound on doors as you leave, and call 911 from a safe location.
Other general procedures:
When there is a fire alarm of any kind, always feel a closed door before you open it. If it is hot then stay in your
room. If it is cool open the door a crack but be ready to slam it if you find smoke or flames. Only attempt to open a
closed door if it is the way out. Knock and shout loudly on doors where you suspect someone inside needs to be
alerted. -
Stay low or crawl if there is smoke, it is deadly and can quickly confuse your sense of direction. Crawl to the exit if
you can see it. Turn back and stay in your room if the exit is blocked with heavy smoke, heat or fire. -
If you are trapped in your room – stay calm. Keep the door closed and seal the cracks with tape, clothes, or towels.
Open window slightly if it lets smoke out and is not letting smoke in. Place a wet towel or cloth over your nose and
mouth. Stay low (smoke rises). Signal rescuers by waving a sheet of bright clothing out the window. Do not jump if
higher than the 2nd floor. - Only fight a small fire with a fire extinguisher and alert others to sound the alarm. Stay between the fire and the exit.
Aim at the base of the fire and sweep side to side. If fire spreads, get out and close the door behind you. Sound
the alarm. Save yourself and others before trying to save the building. The building and its contents can be
replaced. -
If clothing catches on fire, stop, drop and roll. Use a rug, coat, or blanket to smother the flames. Cool a minor burn
with water, treat for shock, and get prompt medical attention (call 911).
Familiarize yourself with the location of all fire and life safety systems in your building, including:
Fire extinguishers
Smoke detectors
Alarm pull boxes
Sprinkler heads
Exit signs
Fire doors
Exit routes
Assembly points
Exercise precaution and prevention:
Do not allow tampering of any sort with fire and life safety systems. Report missing extinguishers or damaged
detectors immediately. Do not hang anything from sprinkler heads. Do not prop open fire doors. -
Keep exit routes clear and unobstructed, especially hallways, exit doorways and stairwells
Report electrical problems immediately, do not use faulty appliances or any electrical wiring or device that is arcing
or sparking. -
Do not allow use of any open flames, candles, or electric heaters without tip over safety shutoff switches.
Limit posters and paper decorations on doors, walls, and ceilings to no more than 10 percent of the surface area.
Pick up and clean up any accumulation of trash or newspaper, especially in hallways and stairwells.
Do not keep paint, paint remover, any type of gasoline or fuel containers, cans of oil, or any type of combustible
material in dormitories. These must be stored in an approved metal storage cabinet. -
Do not leave any heating appliance on and unattended. This includes hot plates, irons, hair dryers, curling irons,
electric blankets, toaster ovens, heat lamps. -
Keep combustibles away from electric space heaters. This includes clothes, furniture, trash, or paper.

Appendix K: School Closure Policy and Procedures
Appendix K: School Closure Policy and Procedures
The following policy and procedures will be followed for school closures caused by inclement weather or by other
events, such as an earthquake or power outage.
The vice president for academic affairs decides if conditions warrant canceling classes or closing offices. Major
considerations are road conditions, utility service disruption, and how long the severe weather or event is likely to last.
This decision is made by 6 a.m. for day classes and by 2 p.m. for evening classes. Once the decision is made to
cancel classes or close offices, the Office of University Communications staff will notify local media and the George Fox
Announcements will specify whether the closure affects either or both the University's Portland Center and Newberg
campus, as well as teaching sites in Salem and Eugene. The Boise Center will be responsible for making its own
decisions about closures, for contacting local media, and for informing the University's Department of Professional
Studies of such cancellations.
To find out if a closure decision has been made, you can do any of the following:
Listen to local radio and television stations.
Check the appropriate conference on Foxmail. (Faculty and staff should access the Employee News & Info
conference, while students can check the Student News & Info conference.) -
Call Newsline, the University's recorded source of announcements, at 503-554-EVNT (3868).
Visit the George Fox University Web site (www.georgefox.edu/news/closures).
Check the www.pdxinfo.net Web site, or the Web site for various local media (newspaper, television, or radio).
Call the George Fox University switchboard (503-538-8383).
In some circumstances, it is possible that a decision will be made to cancel classes but keep offices open. In this case,
administrators and support staff will be notified by telephone that they are to report to work, or they may check the
recorded messages on Newsline or the switchboard. (Radio and television announcements about school closings may
not make a distinction between classes being canceled and offices being closed.)
When University offices are closed, employees will receive pay for that day as if they had worked. Employees required
to work during a closure as part of an emergency Plant Services crew, or in any other capacity deemed essential by
their supervisor, will be allowed to take the corresponding time off within the following 30 days.
Because employees and students live varying directions and distances from George Fox campuses, weather may make
it difficult or even impossible for some of them to come to work even though the University is open for business as
usual. In no circumstances should students or employees put themselves in great danger or peril in an attempt to get to
the campus for class or work. If they feel in danger, or believe conditions are too hazardous for travel, they should not
make the attempt. In this situation, students should notify their professors and employees should notify their
supervisors (as soon as possible after 8 a.m.) of an absence or late arrival. Time missed from work will be charged to
an employee's vacation balance.

I think this product was overrated. I couldn't even make it through my stick, which killed me because it cost $20. The pencil was practically a liquidy slip n' slide, which was cool to put on but not cool for staying in place. It did dry and stay nicely after awhile, but it took an hour sometimes. The biggest problem I had though with applying was that the sharp wood would sometimes graze my skin, it really hurt! It like wow, ow! What the hell. I'm not sure what the heck that was about. Maybe it's because I used my normal eyeliner sharperner and didn't purchase grind house, but I wasn't about to drop $10 for a special sharpener for 1 stick of eyeliner I felt luke warm about.
I was just really surprised this was so popular, I was unhappy with it.
It's been a few years for me and I'm thinking of revisiting the cult classic, but I'll have to see some kind of special deal for the pencil though cause I can't stomach dropping $20 to get my eyes stabbed again. I guess this pencil is good if you don't mind sharpening every other day to make it super sharp to use, which wastes a lot of product. Maybe it works better with grind house. Just seems like high maintenance that isn't worth it.
I'll be sticking with NYX for the time being.

I've bought lots of UD pencils and the colours are lovely. They go on easily bit are soft so I find myself using an eye liner brush. I won't purchase again though as I find they don't last long (not on your face I mean in general a few sharpens and they are nearly gone) so I'm in the lookout for a different new eyeliner when they run out.

Don't like these pencils at all! I got a gift set with three different pencils in it and was so excited to try them out. But they're too thick, you can't get a nice slim line even when it's sharpened to within an inch of its life. And it can't be smudged or even corrected easily if you make a little mistake. Can't get right into the lash line. Also doesn't stay on the inner corner of the eye at all! Not worth the hassle.

This is a nice soft pencil, I also like to use a liquid to get a blacker sharper line with it. Its better for thicker lines alone. When it gets older it seems to get softer. It dosent tug or break like other pencils. I don't think it would work for the inside water line as others have noticed. Ive never done that myself. I think its by far the best eye liner pencil Ive used.

I love eyeliner and buy tons of it, pencil, liquid, creme etc. I dont believe in spending too much on eyeliner and usually buy drugstore eyeliners and have found some great ones (Loreal and Prestige blackest black come to mind for pencils, Milani and NYX for liquid)-with that being said--the additional money spend on this is NOT a waste. It is a superior product. It def lasts much longer (all day) than regular drug store pencils, glides on very smoothly and when sharpened properly makes a fantastic and steady line, some of the creamier pencil liners dont actually sharpen up to a fine tip, but this one does. I have swatched Perversion which seems to be an awesomely intense deep deep black (which i love) in the stores a lot and keep wanting to try it, however, it always smudges on my hand more so than Zero. I go through eyeliners so much i dont know if its worth buying these all the time, but with that said, yes this pencil is budge-proof and smudge-proof and lasts all day for me

I have been purchasing this eyeliner pencil for almost four years now. Although I have ventured out to try different eyeliners, I always come back to Urban Decay. I love the fact that it is a pencil that can be sharpened, not a twist-up, because I often find it difficult to get a fine point for making a precise line in twistable eyeliners. The pigmentation on the 24/7 is amazing and the application is smooth. This is the richest, blackest black pencil I have used (believe me, I have tried a lot!), and a new shade "Perversion" just came out that is even darker and bolder. I prefer "Zero", however, because it is a little less pigmented, so it is easier to apply and more wearable. I also have the 24/7 pencil in "Rockstar", which is a matte eggplant color with the same great pigmentation and consistency as "Zero" and "Perversion".
I read that some people experienced issues with the staying power of this eyeliner. These eyeliners are very rich and pigmented, so if not applied properly, they can smudge, especially if you have oily skin/lids like me. I do this method myself and would recommend using this pencil with a good face primer before you apply your face makeup, or eye makeup if you don't wear face makeup, and then using a primer specifically designed for eyes. I like the Urban Decay Primer Potion, but less expensive drug store eye primers work well too. If you are not controlling your skin at the source before you put makeup on, you won't have as good of results.
This eyeliner is on the pricier side, but it will last you a few months, like any normal eye pencil, and the results this eyeliner gives in comparison to others I have tried is phenomenal. I hope this will help those of you struggling with making this eyeliner work and those of you thinking about giving it a try. Hope you all can enjoy this eyeliner like I have :)

Absolutely -love- these and do a happy dance any time I get a free one either in a palette or as a GWP. They do exactly what they say: glide on and are just unbelievably pigmented and beautiful, augh. They are just lovely. I really like that I don't have to tug at my lids when I'm running it across because as I've gotten older, my the skin around my eyes has started to get much more sensitive. Pencils that do that at tugging thing also end up making the line look all jagged and bad which means you have to go little by little which is time consuming. This pencil is awesome at just making a straight line and moving on.
They will smudge out on you if you don't apply some sort of primer or base under them, but if you do all of your smudging and messing around with it immediately after the pencil is applied (especially on the rim of the lower lash line) and then let it set, if should work out for you with no issues. You can also apply a bit of eyeshadow on it to set or translucent powder if it's really that big of an issue, but it's going to take away some from the pigmentation.
My favorite part about this liner is that it doesn't have any glitter in it. It's just dark, and black, and beautiful. So many pencils out there seem to be amazing but then end up having all this clunky glitter in them that gets everywhere. Hate that. But this one is just as black as black can be.
My least favorite part about the liner is the price tag. They are pricey little suckers, especially for every day use. They're just so creamy and soft that it's easy to use a bunch of it during applications. Just try to use a light hand, smudge right after if that is the look you're going for to see if you got enough, and then layer if needed (which won't be much) so that they last. Also, look out for them in the GWP deals at big makeup stores as well as in the UD
palettes! Urban Decay throw these in all the time when they run the specials or come out with a new palette.

Where I live we usually distinguish eye liner pencils and other eye liners, we call eye liner pencils just eye pencils and use them mostly for the waterline, and the rest (liquid/gel) mostly for the upper lid. Therefore, the waterline is where I use it most.
I hate to say I'm disappointed. I got this as a part of the smoky collection last year and I think the other liners are better (although I must admits I use the metallics more than the mattes).
It doesn't glide on that easy, not enough to be given the title "Glide-On", you have to go over it a few times to get an even black line ,and it doesn't stay, not for 24 hours and not for 5. Smudges too.
It's not a terrible liner but given all the hype I expected much better. It doesn't irritate, but it's not much better than average drugstore eye liner pencils. Not worth the price nor the hype. I had much better experience with MUFE aqua liner pencil.
I've been trying a lot of products lately that haven't lived up to the hype and it has been really frustrating, I honestly don't know which beauty media sources I can trust :(

I love how rich & black this liner is but it disappears super fast on my water line & it smudges a lot for my watery eyes! I love ud products & I enjoy using them as we'll I just hate that their eye liners dry up fast every if I keep the lid on... For the price and the brand I would think it would last longer on the eye.

James Brown dead [nytimes.com]
He shall be sorely missed, but never forgotten as his music will continue to entertain and bring enjoyment for a looooong time to come.
Onya James! Woz
[edited by: Woz at 12:02 am (utc) on Dec. 26, 2006]
He'll be dearly missed..
..the jam band in heaven has got a new lead singer
He claimed something he wanted to catche the thief nicking his toilet paper, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Although James Brown was no stranger to the Judicial system at various points his life.
He was certainly a fine songwriter and performer, and his live show was something else... great band, great songs, great performance. Glad to say I saw him, sorry I won't get the chance again.
RIP James Brown
I'm there.
Al Sharpton surely brought a smile to many when he beseached Gabrial to open the gates wide, "because although he's a small man, he walks with a big swagger."
I saw him performing in Hyde Park a couple of years ago. He put on a great show.
