Robocars As the Best Way Geeks Can Save the Planet
timothy posted more than 6 years ago | from the at-least-the-parts-we-can-drive-on dept.394
Brad Templeton writes "I (whom you may know as EFF Chairman, founder of early dot-com Clari.Net and rec.humor.funny) have just released a new series of futurist essays on the amazing future of robot cars, coming to us thanks to the DARPA Grand Challenges. The computer driver is just the beginning — the essays detail how robocars can enable the cheap electric car, save millions of lives and trillions of dollars, and are the most compelling thing computer geeks can work on to save the planet. Because robocars can refuel, park and deliver themselves, and not simply be chauffeurs, they end up changing not just cars but cities, industries, energy, and — by removing dependence on foreign oil — even wars. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords." (More below.)Templeton continues: "The key realization is that while the safety and timesavings that come from having computers as chauffeurs is very important and can save a million lives every year, a number of interesting consequences come from the ability of robocars to drive themselves while vacant. This allows them to deliver themselves to us on demand, to park themselves and to refuel/recharge themselves. On-demand delivery makes car sharing pleasant and allows the use of "the right vehicle for the trip" on most trips. Self-refueling means the people using cars no longer need care about range or how common fueling stations are, enabling all sorts of novel energy systems with minimal "chicken and egg" problems. Because passengers don't care about the range of their taxis, battery weight and cost are no longer issues in electric cars and scooters."

Across the road from our building we have a private gated garden for the residents complete with two little lakes, some might call then ponds but we are in Ilkley.
Every apartment has a key and residents are free to stroll round or sit a while on the benches. I'm hoping if I get gardening withdrawal I might do a bit of weeding in there and depending on what comes up in spring I could be tempted to plant a few interesting bulbs. We have a lovely collection of rather over fed ducks who I'm sure are very respectful of the plants.
Across the road from the garden is access to the moor with a small car park for walkers. A good path leads up to White Wells, a pretty cottage that is an occasional cafe and houses the baths for taking the healing spa waters.
Apparently it's a local custom to take a dip in the baths on New Years Day, I'm also told that the water temperature is usually about 4 degrees so I may give that a miss.As I said the cafe doesn't have regular opening hours, the owners fly a flag that can be viewed from some distance to indicate they are serving which saves a wasted up hill walk, we were there on Sunday afternoon as they closed and the flag came down.
Its a lovely view from White Wells back down to our building, we really appreciated how grand it looks. You can see the detail of the internal glazed atrium quite well. We had to resist the temptation to tell anyone who would listen that we live there and felt quite smug walking back home.
So hopefully you will get to see the town soon and I also need to tell you about how we've adapted to apartment living over the past couple of weeks. Its all very exciting and very different but so far its all very good.

When it comes to quickly ushering high-value frequent fliers across the tarmac to connecting flights, United Airlines relies on Mercedes-Benz vehicles, while Delta turns to Porsches. Now add American Airlines to the list of air carriers that have a luxury auto partner for these urgent trips at four major US airports: American passengers will be whisked in Cadillacs.
The program to cover the Los Angeles airport, the Dallas-Fort Worth airport and both major airports in New York for American's ultra-high-end ConciergeKey club members is just part of a broad new alliance announced Monday between the GM premium brand and an airline that has been boosting its premium image lately.
Other facets of the relationship, which will expand to other airports, include the display of new Cadillac vehicles in the shopping areas of key American Airlines hubs and the rewarding of 7,500 frequent-flier miles to any AAdvantage member who signs up to test-drive a Cadillac at a dealership.
"There's a lot of alignment" between the two brands, Suzanne Rubin, president of the AAdvantage loyalty program, told brandchannel. "We're thrilled with this partnership that brings two iconic American brands together, both focused on improving the customer experience."Continue reading...

It used to be that you could spot bold nail polish colors, elaborate nail art and sparkling gel manicures on hands left and right. But after several years of unparalleled growth, the nail polish market has slowed down, with retailers like Coty (which owns OPI) noting a four percent drop in sales at the end of 2013.
So this year, it's no surprise that nail polish brands are turning to new, innovative partnerships to reposition nail polish as not just a beauty product, but a key part of consumers' aesthetic lifestyle, in an attempt to drive sales and attract new customers.
OPI is leading the way through a collaboration with Clark+Kensington, a line of house paints from Ace Hardware. Together, they've developed three new color palettes of house paint that match some of OPI's most illustrious colors. Each palette contains 6 shades and is designed to reflect consumers' personalities with names like "The Artist," "The Wild Heart" and "The Romantic."Continue reading...

If it wasn't clear before, MOOCs (massive open online courses) are becoming… massively popular as television networks, elite universities and search giants join the fray.
AMC's hit show The Walking Dead is now being used as the "primary text" for an eight-week online course from UC Irvine titled "Society, Science, Survival: Lessons from AMC's 'The Walking Dead." Now Google has thrown its hat in the ring by teaming up with not-for-profit edX to create an open-source learning platform, which will launch in 2014.
"We support the development of a diverse education ecosystem, as learning expands in the online world," Google wrote in a blog post. "Part of that means that educational institutions should easily be able to bring their content online and manage their relationships with their students. Our industry is in the early stages of MOOCs, and lots of experimentation is still needed to find the best way to meet the educational needs of the world."Continue reading...

Dr. Oz has been working his medical magic and wowing the 25- to 54-year-old female demographic from the comfort of America's television screens since he first appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show back in 2004. Five years later, he followed in the footsteps of Winfrey and launched his own show, and now he's taking another note from the multi-talented star.
Oz announced that he will be launching a lifestyle magazine with Hearst. The publication, which doesn't have an official name yet, is scheduled to have two issues come out in the first half of next year, according to Mashable.
"Hearst has a very successful track record of partnering with unique brands and personalities to create engaging content for readers," said David Carey, president of Hearst Magazines in a company release. "Dr. Oz's spirit and message clearly resonate with American women, and the time is right to translate that into a print and digital magazine that will introduce an entirely new category to the market."Continue reading...

No doubt, Ford could stand to generate a little excitement these days.
It has done a great job of instilling the confidence of American consumers in its ability to field a highly competent and very competitive lineup of vehicles across every important segment, but the new F-150 pickup truck won't come along until next year, and in the meantime the most buzz the brand can generate has to do with a newly redesigned—yet decidedly middle-of-the-road—Fusion mid-size sedan.
So hype for the 50th anniversary of the Mustang is coming along just in time. Not only that—Ford has come up with a perfect vehicle for an integrated marketing campaign that will keep the original pony car and its golden anniversary front and center right up through when the actual occasion is marked in early 2014.Continue reading...

Sometimes serendipity brings marketers together in a partnership that makes great sense for both. That appears to be what has happened in a California-only linkup between Fiat and Jones Soda.
Fancying themselves on the cutting edge of American culture, the two brands were already talking, but when they discovered that Fiat was planning to roll out its new California-only 500e this spring at the same time that Jones was planning to launch distribution of its new Natural Jones Soda in California, a fated promotion took shape.
Thus, the newly announced "Jonesin' for a Fiat 500e" summer-photo contest promotion featuring the new all-electric version of the Fiat 500 and the lighter-calorie, reduced-sugar line of new sodas introduced by one of the original boutique-soft-drink brands. They'll be seeking submissions of photos of any Fiat 500 model via social media, partnering in sampling Natural Jones Soda and providing peeks at the 500e at California surfing events and other showcases, and even giving away Natural Jones to visitors to Fiat "studios" in the state.Continue reading...

More than 50 million Americans are "food insecure," according to a 2011 US Department of Agriculture study. In its latest designer collaboration, Target is partnering with FEED Projects to help change that.
Target is joining forces with Lauren Bush Lauren's FEED Projects, which has previously partnered with Gap, Bergdorf Goodman and Pottery Barn, but the Target partnership is the largest to date. The collection is due to launch June 30. The duo just wrapped up a five-city tour of Feeding America programs that took them to food banks and local pantries in San Francisco, Minnesota, New York City and more. Target and FEED are hoping the partnership will generate 10 million meals for Feeding America.
"Target (has) such a massive reach that we just don't have," Lauren told USA Today. "So it's wonderful when we can partner with Target to really just blow it out and have such a big impact in a short amount of time."Continue reading...

Ron Howard, who was the D-League's co-MVP and led the Mad Ants to their first championship, was selected First Team all-league by coaches.
Also receiving the honor were Iowa's Othyus Jeffers, the other co-MVP, Rio Grande Valley's Robert Covington, Sioux Falls' Justin Hamilton and Idaho's Kevin Murphy.
Howard, whose Mad Ants completed their undefeated run through the playoffs with a 119-113 victory over Santa Cruz on Saturday, is the only player on the First Team never to spend time in the NBA. He averaged 20.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists in the regular season.
The second team included Canton's Jorge Gutierrez, Santa Cruz's Hilton Armstrong, Sioux Falls' DeAndre Liggins, Maine's Chris Wright and Texas' James Nunnally.
Fort Wayne's Tony Mitchell made the third team. Maine's Frank Gaines, who completed his rookie season out of IPFW, was one of 12 honorable mentions, as was Fort Wayne's Tim Ohlbrecht.
Gaines was also selected as First Team All-Rookie, while Fort Wayne's Trey McKinney-Jones made the third team. Sadiel Rojas made the All-Defensive Third Team.

I love working with print magazines. And while I've had features, or interviews, or reviews in magazines, I've actually never had the privilege of illustrating an article before! So this is a first!
This month, Parent & Child Magazine asked if I'd illustrated an article on mindfullness in kids. It's a great article that you can read online here. I'm a huge believer in teaching children meditation and giving children the tools they need to control their bodies and minds in order to be happy. So, naturally, I was thrilled! My kids saw the magazine on the table before I could show them my feature, and Addie ran up to me and said, "Mom! Great article! I saw your drawings, and it looks great!" I love that I get to share my art with them, and that it speaks to their level of understanding.
Have a lovely week! We are busy in the studio with tons of orders, and getting ready for BYU Women's Conference this week. Will any of you be there? We have a booth at the BYU Bookstore….more on that later! xo sarah
a few more, and counting.
So, after a bit of thought, I'm not going to be offering fabric bundles in the shop after this run. It was super fun to have them with the prints as a bundle, but with with the amount of illustration work I have (and mommy work) I've decided that cutting the folding fabric isn't something I want to keep up. I wanted to offer these so you had a decor package that you could design around, and get directly. So, if you were considering buying these, we only have a few left.
You can see the bundle here in the shop.
Happy Decorating!

Morning and Evening 3/25 PM
March 25
Evening ...
John 3:13
The Son of man.
How constantly our Master used the title, the "Son of man!" If He had chosen, He might always have spoken of Himself as the Son of God, the Everlasting Father, the Wonderful, the Counsellor, the Prince of Peace; but behold the lowliness of Jesus! He prefers to call Himself the Son of man. Let us learn a lesson of humility from our Saviour; let us never court great titles nor proud degrees. There is here, however, a far sweeter thought. Jesus loved manhood so much, that He delighted to honour it; and since it is a high honour, and indeed, the greatest dignity of manhood, that Jesus is the Son of man, He is wont to display this name, that He may as it were hang royal stars upon the breast of manhood, and show forth the love of God to Abraham's seed. Son of man-whenever He said that word, He shed a halo round the head of Adam's children. Yet there is perhaps a more precious thought still. Jesus Christ called Himself the Son of man to express His oneness and sympathy with His people. He thus reminds us that He is the one whom we may approach without fear. As a man, we may take to Him all our griefs and troubles, for He knows them by experience; in that He Himself hath suffered as the "Son of man," He is able to succor and comfort us. All hail, Thou blessed Jesus! inasmuch as Thou art evermore using the sweet name which acknowledges that Thou art a brother and a near kinsman, it is to us a dear token of Thy grace, Thy humility, Thy love.
"Oh see how Jesus trusts Himself
Unto our childish love,
As though by His free ways with us
Our earnestness to prove!
His sacred name a common word
On earth He loves to hear;
There is no majesty in Him
Which love may not come near."

Marina Shifrin's 'I Quit' Video Goes Viral; Company Responds With Parody Video
Marina Shifrin spent 18 months working for the Taiwan-based video journalism company Next Media Animation before she decided to quit in a video that went viral. Ironically, her job at Next had been creating viral videos.
Shrifrin, who graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism, became fed up with working the night shift as NMA's International Content Editor, where her focus was less on content than on clicks. "I went crazy a little bit," Shifrin told Daily Riverfront Times . "I snapped, and that was the video."
"It was horrible," she added. "I've always used humor to deal with anything that's difficult in my life. In that video you're genuinely seeing me unravel and the end result was... it was just so silly."
In the video, made at 4:30 a.m., Shifrin dances throughout her office – from a recording booth to a bathroom stall – to Kanye West's "Gone." Prior to uploading the video, which now has over 9 million views on YouTube, Shifrin gave her two weeks notice to her boss' boss, who said they'd pay her through October but that she need not return to the office.
To respond to Shifrin's video – and to get some final clicks off their erstwhile employee – NMA posted a copycat YouTube video. In the post, Shifrin's boss dances around the office with the other employees, who make light of the daily grind. NMA executive Mark Simon further address Shifrin's allegations in a letter to Gawker. Simon, while stating he likes Shifrin, doesn't want her video to misrepresent the company as a sweatshop.
On her blog, Shifrin states that after six years in the journalism business, she's hanging up her hat. "I am not saying that all journalism is bad. I am saying that most popular "journalism" is bad. You can't blame the writers, though, we're scared into it. We're the ones writing the stories about the poor job market, we're the ones sitting in classes that have adopted the motto, 'Journalism is dead,'" she wrote, adding, " I am stepping aside and making room for the real journalists."
Shifrin plans to move to New York and pursue a career in standup comedy.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Intolerance rather than apples inhabits Hope McIntyre's Eden
It was a decade ago that Hope McIntyre began conceiving a play in answer to how the post 9/11 fight against terrorism was fomenting a disturbing political repression and intolerance of dissent on both sides of the Canadian/American border.
"It was George W. Bush mostly, some of the rhetoric, the whole if-you're-not-with-us, you're-against-us mentality, a lot of his speeches and the actions of the U.S. government," says McIntyre, the artistic director of Sarasvti Productions for all of its 12 years.
Often playwrights will use their fervour about an issue du jour to blurt out a quick script in protest. That wasn't how McIntyre birthed her seventh play. The 38-year-old North Ender followed the slower, more painstaking path through multiples drafts, rewrites, workshops and readings, never losing the passion that had initially moved her.
"I realized that the idea was not going away," says McIntyre. "Why I kept working on it was that it seemed to be continuously relevant. We are moving away from being a society that cares about people and that's what really frightens me."
The result is Eden, a dystopian drama focused on two 15-year-olds who come from two very different classes but share a world built on lies and manipulation. Adam, the son of an interrogator/torturer named George, meets Evelyn, a young outcast. In this repressed society marginalized groups are the scapegoats for all its ills and must live underground.
"I was reading about Syria the other day and it felt like it came from out of the play," says McIntyre. "It was about Syrian refugees who had videotaped proof of the massacres by the government. They were trying to tell the truth and that's what happens in the play. The characters in the underground are trying to prove they aren't the evil terrorists the government has made them out to be."
The title is meant to be ironic. Canada is often seen as a paradise by many, especially those from aboard living in versions of hell. Every person has a different vision of paradise, says McIntyre, whose previous plays include Revisionings, Death of Love, Hunger and Ripple Effect.
"If you are living in poverty in Canada or on a reserve, it's not going to be Eden or paradise for you," says McIntyre, whose new play about hunger called Empty will debut at FemFest in September.
Eden is the biggest production Sarasvti Productions -- which is dedicated to staging theatre that inspires, challenges and encourages positive social change -- has ever undertaken. Most of its presentations have been small scale, primarily as part of FemFest, its annual festival of plays by women. This production is a step up with a large cast, video presented on three onstage screens and directed by actress/playwright Sharon Bajer.
Creating the whole new world of Eden has been a challenge. During rehearsals one day to make sure everyone knew their place, Bajer had the entire cast draw a map of the play's universe. It was up to videographer Jordan Popowich to find a visual representation of the undesirable section where the under class exists in the two-hour play being presented at the University of Winnipeg's Asper Centre for Theatre and Film on Colony Street.
"It was shot by the Louise Bridge," says Bajer. "You hike into the bush from the parking lot where there is this crazy place full of old rusted out pieces of metal with graffiti on them. This is exactly where the undesirable people live."

The Patriots may have found their permanent kick returner. Starting cornerback Devin McCourty returned a kick for a 104-yard touchdown on Sunday against the Jets. The impressive special teams play was the Patriots' first kick return for a touchdown since Brandon Tate brought one back for 103 yards against the Dolphins on Oct. 4, 2010. McCourty has been the primary returner for New England this season, sharing the duties with Danny Woodhead. Woodhead lead the team with 20 returns last year and averaged 21.9 yards per return. McCourty had seven career kick returns coming into the game, this was his first NFL touchdown. Watch McCourty's return in the video below.

Help. Obligatory tasting trip in Temecula.
- p
- pickypicky Oct 7, 2012 06:00 AM
I've been asked to design a tasting trip (3 vineyards) in Temecula for a group of sophisticated, well-traveled, knowledgeable wine drinkers and collectors visiting San Diego. Here are the wineries I've come up with to choose from. Please pass along your experience re: my selections or offer new ones. Also any particular wines to look for. Thanks!
Mt Palomar
Masia de Yabar
Wiens Family
(Palumbo is closed the day we're going)
Orfila (Escondido)
So, I'd go to Temecula with low expectations so that you can be pleasantly surprised instead of disappointed. There's a lot of bad wine out there, and they're still figuring out what's best to grow there while still being marketable. I'd book appointments//tours wherever possible. That said I'd go to:
Wilson Creek
I'd drop Mt Palomar
I've never been there. I've talked to someone who's judged a couple of competitions for Temecula wines. I asked if there was anything good there. His advice: Ignore the hype from the wineries and avoid Bordeaux varietals. They just don't grow properly. But If you want to get big bucks for the wine, you have to grow a grape people recognize. So that's why they continue to grow cabernet sauvignon, etc.
He felt Rhone, Italian and Mediterranean varietals tended to do better.
re: pickypicky
Have no experience with Orfila but based on what I can gather I would skip.
I'd definitely stop at Orfila -- I've always preferred their wines to anything out of Temecula. Your choice, but I'd make it the first stop so as not to have it drop from your itinerary **just in case** you end up running late. (Note: I haven't had any of their wines since the new winemaker took over, following Leon Santoro's passing in 2009.)
I'd listen to Steve's advice, and avoid the classic Bordeaux varieties. The best Cabernets I've had from Temecula wineries came from grapes grown in Sonoma. That said, Orfila's red Bordelais varietals have been pretty good in the past.
Other than that, I only have suggestions as to what to avoid, not what to go to. Sorry.
re: zin1953
Any to avoid in my list? (I'll make Orfila a definite. I'm intrigued by their winemaker from Sonoma who looks like a movie star.)
re: pickypicky
None specifically. I truly try to avoid the region entirely. That may not be completely fair, I know, but the best wines I've ever had from Temecula-grown grapes were what I would describe as "very good." Not great, not exceptional, not outstanding -- just "very good," and those were (overall) few and far between.
Bailey has made some very good Rieslings, for example, which is well worthwhile. But most of what I've had from Temecula grapes is eminently forgettable.
Orfila for sure. Though it's not in Temecula, so time could be an issue.
Doffo has been the best wine I've had there (relatively speaking), though bottles are really expensive for the source.
Palumbo has been good.
I keep hearing that Briar Rose is good but haven't been there.
I've found some decent wine at Baily and Hart as well.
But........... tasting in Temecula is, overall, a matter of 'what will you compare it to".
re: Midlife
Amen to that
re: zin1953
A friend compared it to tasting wine in Texas, which goes a bit far. It sounds like TX and Temecula have the same issue, which has been a slowness to discover, grow, and make wine with grapes well suited to the area.
re: pickypicky
OR . . . in many cases . . . bad winemakers!
re: zin1953
Agreed. Many of the Temecula wineries I've spoken with have told me that they buy a good portion of their fruit from pretty decent growing regions in the Central Coast or Northern California, so I've always felt that winemaking MUST be a factor at work here.
re: pickypicky
I dunno about that comparison.... I lived in San Diego in 1987-88 and the wines in Temecula were..... some were not terrible, (some were) but none were wonderful. OTOH, in 2005 I was in Dallas for a conference, and attended a seminar of Texas wines -- most from the Hill Country. There were a couple in that tasting that were quite delicious. I'd say Texas ranks above San Diego -- at least in my mouth.
re: ChefJune
Agreed, although there seems to be enough mediocre-to-terrible wines to go around . . . in both locations, but -- yes -- I'd probably pick the Texas Hill Country over Temecula!
re: zin1953
I'm a native Texan. My mom has lived in the Hill Country 38 years. And I can't agree. They are equally uninteresting wines. Until a region develops a grape growing industry, fine wines won't happen. THAT'S what Texas should focus on: subsidies for ranchers to grow grapes. Both Temecula and Texas wine industries focus on tourism, not wine, and the results are not pretty.
re: pickypicky
I'm not sure what being a native Texan has to do with anything, nor your mother's home address, but there are several wines from Texas that I would choose *over* wines from Temecula. Indeed, I'd choose them over and over again, over the wines from Temecula.
C'est la vie . . .
re: zin1953
I cite my native Texan status because most native Texans will argue everything Texan is better. My mother's long stay in the Hill Country has given me 3 or 4 visits a year to watch and taste as the wine industry has grown. Most Texas grapes are grown in the panhandle. HC wineries source from the Panhandle and from CA. Very small percentage of grapes from the Hill Country make it to wine. The Hill Country is like a showroom. Because that's where tourists come, that's where the wines are sold.
I know a French winemaker, schooled in Sonoma, who works for a Texas winery. She commutes between the Panhandle and the Hill Country. Her grapes are in one place, the winery in another. Not unusual, but it's tough to learn this information from wineries or labels in Texas. Even my friend is reticent to discuss the Texas wine industry, which is still experimenting with the best grapes for the various regions -- like Temecula.
re: Beach Chick
I'm a little uncomfortable with Ponte's motto: "If you like it, it's good wine." Hmmmm.
re: pickypicky
The most important thing you can ever say about a wine is "Yum!" or "Yuck!" It's what YOU think that counts, not what anyone else thinks . . .
re: zin1953
Wine I like is wine I like. That doesn't make it necessarily "good" or "bad."
re: pickypicky
Au contraire, mon ami -- I would say that the best wine in the world . . . to YOU . . . is the wine you like the most. I would say that there is no such thing, factually, as THE best wine in the world. Rather, it's a matter of personal opinion.
Just out of curiosity, how many bad wines do you like?
re: zin1953
A pinot that tastes like bubblegum is not good no matter how many bridesmaids say it is. A winery that would trouble to make that their motto is hawking wines I'm guessing would not meet my standards. I could be wrong.
re: pickypicky
The difference is that you and I might (probably; no doubt about it) absolutely hate the bubblegum Pinot Noir, but to those bridesmaids you're referencing? They think it's the best thing they've ever tasted, and who am I to say they're wrong?
re: zin1953
They're wrong. (you're more egalitarian than I.)
re: pickypicky
No, but after 35+ years in the wine trade, I've come to realize that TRUE likes and dislikes are based solely upon one's own personal palate preferences, and one shouldn't discount them.
re: zin1953
<Just out of curiosity, how many bad wines do you like?>
If you're considering Orfila, then I really think you should consider Vesper / TripleB in Valley Center. I truly believe that they are producing the best wine from local sources in the entire area. Chris and Alysha are winemakers with the knowledge, passion, and the vision to make world class wine from local grapes
re: RhonelyInsanediego
Can't do it on this trip. Orfila (iffy at this point for us) we could hit on return down 15, it looks like. But not enough time to do more. Will keep it in mind.
Report on Temecula Trip. I'll do my best to be kind.
Meritage for lunch - gorgeous view. interesting menu. I chose Callaway Italian and Rhone varietals by the glass, thanks to above reco's. The new owners of Callaway -- a young couple -- were sitting behind us. The tasting room is now automated. Insert card to a machine, a wine spurts out. We passed on that.
Doffo - fun. real. the winemaker poured our tastes. we bought two wines, a syrah and a late harvest zin (aka port). Expensive, but might be interesting after forgotten and opened far in the future. Nice olive oil.
Leonesse - walked in. nobody liked tasting room atmosphere (a few bus loads of big haired seguined jeans women were crowding the counters), and none of the pourers could explain why the labels show Leonesse spelled two different ways. tasted, left.
Wiens - tasted, left.
Wilson - walked in, left. tasting room smelled of potpouri and hand lotion.
Mt Palomar - disaster.
IF I go back, I'll visit Palumbo and Orfila. We did not have time to stop at Orfila, because my group wanted to experience as much of Temecula as they could. The heartening thing to me, as we drove home via backroads through Ramona, were the acres and acres of vines spreading through the county, which I don't remember a few years back. The more grapes that are grown agriculturally, the better wines may become, imo. Of course, the vineyards will need real winemakers.
Thank you, thank you, to all who made suggestions. It really helped.
re: pickypicky
Yes, well . . . (yuck) . . . you're very kind indeed.
>>> none of the pourers could explain why the labels show Leonesse spelled two different ways <<<
THAT is hysterical!
>>> The tasting room is now automated. Insert card to a machine, a wine spurts out. <<<
THAT is disgusting! ;^)
re: zin1953
It's probably just an automated cuvenee. Not so disgusting if the wine isn't so. I agree that it does sound like a very intimate and personalized experience though.
re: RhonelyInsanediego
At some of the wineries in Temecula I might just prefer an Enomatic or Napa Technology system to a live person trying to tell me I'm enjoying what I'm not. But.................. actually having one there is REALLY advancing the well-earned idea that Temecula has been developed more as a tourist destination than a 'serious' wine experience. Sheesh!!!!! Must make it harder for the owners there who are really trying.
Just seeing your thread now, picky, and can definitely recommend Robert Renzoni as worth a visit your next time there. Truth be told, that's the one winery my husband and I plan to spend time at the next time we breeze -- I mean that literally -- through Temecula.
When we first paid Renzoni a visit in May 2010, we sampled the winery's six selections and were really surprised by their balance and elegance, the Sangiovese most of all (we bought a bottle to take home). Additionally, we really appreciated the tasting room manager's knowledge of grapes and winemaking. Truly intriuging was the premium Old Friar Red: It's 90% Lagrein and 10% Merlot, and is memorable for its deep, brooding black fruit and smokiness on the palate and the finish. Although Renzoni fruit is from Paso Robles, the winemaking's on site.
I should point out these other items regarding our Temecula stop:
1) We enjoyed Ponte's Viognier, and found that everything else had that nasty "alcohol burn" on the back palate.
2) Wiens' Syrah is worth a look; it has a hint of garrigue and earthy, brooding black fruit that reminded me slightly of a northern Rhone Syrah (St. Joseph, perhaps?). Nothing else was noteworthy there, other than -- what else? -- that too-too-Temecula alcohol burn.
3) The less said about Leonesse's one-note selections, the better. The same holds true for the tasting-room employees, who seemed utterly uninterested in wine, and provided next to no information about their winery's selections. Perhaps their approach works for the party-hearty crowd, but it sure as heck doesn't for wine geeks like me.
re: Dornfelder
Thanks, Dornfelder, for this info. I wouldn't have chosen Renzoni because I was looking for local grapes as a criteria. But I'll keep it in mind should I "breeze" back through Temecula. Also, that alcohol burn you mention intrigues me, and I wonder now in hindsight if that's one of the things I found repugnant in our tastings. I believe first and foremost were the tasting rooms, which seemed more like Spencer's or Bath/Body Gift Shops. If winery screams tourist stop, then it probably is.
re: pickypicky
Honestly, picky, most Temecula wineries seem to be tourist/"drunky" hangouts -- that's just why my better half and I are truly not fans of that region. I couldn't agree with you more about the gift-shop vibe, which puts us off to no end.
And what is with the proprietors of Thornton, their need to create a site -- its tasting room, restaurant, and other areas -- in a building nearly as opulent as the Taj Majal? Fer cryin' out loud, folks, your're an OK-at-best Temecula winery, not Chateau Petrus, Lafite-Rothschild, d'Yquem or Beaucastel.
*rolls eyes*
re: Dornfelder
Don't get me started about Thornton's "restaurant"...
re: Dornfelder
Very helpful comment re the alcohol burn. That is definitely an issue I've found often in Temecula tasting. It would seem to me to be more of a style thing than a fruit thing unless it's mostly prevalent with local fruit. Any thoughts on that??
re: Midlife
IMHO, it's a style thing. The folks I've spoken with who like Temecula wines most -- from all of California's wine regions, believe it or not -- seem to really crave those uber-elevated alcohol levels. I guess they don't see an issue with glugging down a 15% ABV Pinot Grigio that sets their back palates afire, other than getting seriously buzzed ... *shrugs*
