EPHEMERA: Wine Blogging--Just Another Kind of Sad and Lonely Exhibitionism
I spend a lot of time wondering why I do what I do now, considering where I've been, and considering the big wine picture. It seems to be out of some sort of need for attention. Which is pathetic. Writing HoseMaster of Wine™ was originally a way for me to see if I could still write satire. But after five years and more than 400 pieces I think I've answered that question. No fucking way. However, I have received an awful lot of attention, much of it negative, and, like the flasher in a battered trenchcoat who lives for the reactions, I keep waving my weenie around hoping for applause for my limp apparatus. Maybe wine blogging is just another kind of sad and lonely exhibitionism.
The nominees for the Poodles were announced (the winners having just been announced) and I ill-advisedly perused many of the nominees. Ouch. I don't know who the judges were, but theirs must have a terrible task, the equivalent of judging the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest and having to drink the hot dog water afterward. Yet this year I felt some compassion for the nominees. Most must have felt gratified to have been nominated. I lobbied hard not to be nominated, I hate meaningless awards, which is another kind of pathetic. I didn't vote for the Poodles, but I certainly hoped that Chris Kassel would win for Best Writing on a Wine Blog (he didn't, but he won for Best Blog Post of the Year, ironically, for a post that had nothing really to do with wine, but with Robin Williams' suicide--Morgue and Mindy) because he's smarter and funnier than I am, and comedy is so much harder to write than tepid wine prose. That said, I'm sure Chris doesn't give a crap that he won. I never did.
I ask myself all the time, what am I trying to prove by writing HoseMaster of Wine™? I don't know the answer. Maybe I'm not trying to prove anything. But it feels to me like I am. Only I don't know what. If anything, it's to prove that I love wine. Not particular wines, not the romance of wine, just wine. And like any great love, I can't explain why. I can only say I know my life would have been empty without it. That my love for wine is what led me to everything good about my life. So I feel protective of it, and I dislike those who merely use it, those who talk about it thoughtlessly, those who pretend to love wine, pretend to know more about wine than they actually do, but are merely using wine to benefit themselves. And they are legion.
I've always hated the pretentiousness that surrounds wine. Smart people can be pretentious, which is shameful. And stupid people can be pretentious, which is laughable. Wine writing these days seems guilty of being both shameful and laughable. Not all of it, not every single instance, not every single writer, but far too much. On the cosmic scale of being human, knowing a lot about wine barely ranks above being good at pinball. The endless debates that surround wine elevate trivia to heights equalled only by TMZ and pledging sororities. Yet chat rooms and blogs are filled with the kinds of wine frauds that would make Rudy Kurniawan proud, and only because wine is deemed important. I love wine, but I'd never, in the grand scheme of things, attribute it much importance.
In 2014 I judged in six wine competitions. This year I've judged two, and I'm probably done for the year. I know why I attend competitions. For the simple joy of being around a bunch of interesting wine folks, many, if not all, of whom know more about wine than I. It's kind of like attending Bible Study, only everybody's nuts and drinks too much. So just like Bible Study. Judging reminds me over and over again how endlessly fascinating wine is, and how it unfailingly outmatches us, humbles our feeble senses of smell and taste. Wine isn't about those senses, though in a strictly objective sense it is. Wine is really about camaraderie, congeniality and laughter, the simple joy of intemperance. Or it's supposed to be. Too often that is missing from wine judging, and from wine writing.
Truthfully, it's also flattering to be asked to judge a prestigious wine competition. Not getting asked to return can be disheartening, a kick in the old grape nuts, but when you're the HoseMaster, well, you never expect to be invited to the cool parties in the first place. Satirists never are. Getting invited even once is pretty cool, makes me feel accepted and appreciated. So, again, we're back to pathetic.
Pardon my little rambling essay. EPHEMERA has always been about sitting in front of the fucking blinking cursor and just expressing what's been running through my twisted mind. I do wonder why I do this. I don't need to; it isn't keeping a roof over my head. It isn't a path to fame and reputation—not the way I do it anyway. It's not even very good, not a repository of wit or insight that the world will some day honor and read. It seems to be some sick way of caring about wine, some way to repay what I owe to wine. As if that were possible.

Excerpts from Parker's "The Emperor's Diaries"
Editor's Note: The Emperor's Diaries were only recently discovered in the shopping cart of a homeless natural wine salesman living on the outskirts of Monkton, Maryland. After a painstaking translation from the Emperor's native tongue, Hyperbole, a few excerpts from The Emperor's Diaries were made available for publication prior to the diaries' holiday release. The excerpts only hint at the importance of the document to the history of wine. We are honored to be the first to publish them.
February 1978
I think I'm going to start a brilliant wine publication, with hints of brimstone and new-mown hubris. I'm sick of being an attorney. No one likes attorneys. I want to be liked. I'm sure that if I become a successful wine writer, everyone will like me. Wine writers are far more popular than lawyers, even though both occupations are based on empty rhetoric. I would be able to travel the world and taste the greatest wines with the greatest winemakers, show them what they're doing wrong. Wine needs a writer like that, with impeccable balance, and subtle notes of ultimate authority and papal infallibility, a critic whose palms aren't quite as unctuous as our current wine writers'. I'm the guy.
Now I just need to think of a name and a gimmick.
June 1978
I've been wrestling with what to name my new wine publication tour-de-force. I have so many ideas, but none seems to stick. "The Wine Tour-de-Force" sounds pretty good. I might go with that! Imagine seeing my wine reviews published everywhere—in winery newsletters, on wine shop shelves, on the damned wine labels themselves—followed by the initials "WTF!" I predict this is exactly what will happen. And everyone will know what "WTF" stands for—it will be suffixed to my name for decades. But Wine Tour-de-Force just doesn't sound right.
My wine publication will have a sole purpose. Not sure what that will be, but I'm dedicated to it. If it were up to me, the sole purpose would be to make me rich and famous. But that won't work. Wine critics don't get rich and famous. They get drunk and gout. Maybe the sole purpose should be integrity, to bring truth and independence to wine reviewing! Nah, that's just crazy talk.
I'm still stuck on a name though. Right now I'm a lawyer, so maybe "The Wine Lawyer." That could work. Or maybe "The Wine Public Defender!" Sticking up for your wine rights at no charge! Oh. That's not quite right, either, but I think I'm getting warm. I'll think about it. Meanwhile, I have to go and read the interview with Robert Lawrence Balzer in the new issue of "The Advocate." Can't wait.
July 1978
For practice, I've already started writing wine reviews. They're dazzling, with lingering notes of thesaurus and echolalia. But I think I need some kind of ranking system so that my readers will know which wines I prefer. Writing reviews is easy for me, I have the nose of cadaver dog and and the vocabulary of William F. Buckley, Jr. getting a blowjob from Farrah Fawcett, but the wine descriptions will be the least important part of my new wine publication, "The Wine Closet." (Not yet sure of that title, but the Balzer piece inspired me.) What will be important is the ranking system I employ. The ones out there right now don't appeal to me. The 20-Point Scale is for academics. Everyone hates academics, even more than they hate lawyers. And, besides you have to spend all this time assigning numbers to crap that doesn't matter, like aroma and clarity. Hell, I go to the john for aroma and clarity. Besides, I want to review hundreds and hundreds of wines in every issue of "The Wine Dandy." (Getting closer…) Having to pay close attention, and then doing a bunch of addition, just won't cut it.
And then there's those guys out in California who rate wines with "stars," though they look more like pasties for hot, busty Smurfs, or those rubber thingies you put in your bathtub so you don't slip. Doesn't matter, but that's a damned stupid rating system. Wines have to go up higher than three. Three's not a number that catches your attention. "Why, this fantastic wine is a 3!" That doesn't make anyone want to buy it. Those guys are stupid. Maybe 100 would get your attention, but not 3. I don't know, I'll have to think about it some more.
I didn't know it would be so hard to start a new wine publication.
August 1978
The 100-Point Scale! It was there all along! I can be so stupid sometimes, like when I bought all those '72 Bordeaux futures. I'll rank my wines using a 100-Point Scale. It's genius. Everybody who went to public school knows that 100 points is a perfect score. Oh, I won't give out 100 point scores very often. That would cheapen them. When you only have three crummy stars to award, well, you have to give three stars a lot. There just aren't that damned many scores. There are only THREE! Duh. I'll have 100 points. I'll award 100 points maybe a couple of times a year. Any more than that and, well, I'd look like a profligate jackass. Oh, this is really gonna work great.
So now I just have to make up an explanation of how I arrive at my numbers for wines. No problem, I have a law degree, making up specious explanations comes under, "Previous Job Experience." Now I'm just free-ballin' it here, but let's just say I start at 50. A wine gets 50 points to start with, kind of like how you get $200 when you start playing Monopoly for no apparent reason. Yup, 50 points, and then I start rolling the dice. Just off the top of my head, let's say I give up to 10 points for color. Color doesn't mean shit in wine, but I need to jack up the points, so let's say 10. What the hell would a wine look like that got a 3 for color? Who knows? Who cares? It would have to be orange. Yeah, like orange wines make any sense.
Of course, for aroma a wine can get up to 20 points. It doesn't really matter. I'm not ever going to actually assign numbers for color, or aroma, or intensity, or finish, or anything else individually. I have a life, for Christ's sake. It's only wine. But the 100-Point Scale needs to have the appearance of objectivity. Otherwise, people will think I'm just making the numbers up. Which I am, but I don't want them to think that. It won't take long, and I'll know exactly what "87" smells and tastes like. Scoring for color and aroma and texture and balance and length? You can't give numbers to those things. That's crazy. I'll just give a number to the wine.
Oh, I'm getting a good feeling about this. If I work hard enough, everyone will rely on my new wine publication. Everyone will want a subscription to "The Wine Probe."

Doin' It Horizontal with Limerick Lane
For the most part, I avoid panel discussions about wine. Nothing I hate more in the wine business than a Burgundy seminar. Trust me, NEVER go to one. They make waterboarding seem like summer fun. I do love listening to a knowledgeable person speak about wine. I was lucky enough once to listen to Gerald Asher talk about wine. His love for wine was matched only by his apparent and articulate love for language. And, of course, he has that cool fake accent. Panel discussions, on the other hand, tend to devolve into the worst sort of holiday dinner party—a lot of posturing, a lot of interrupting, a lot of people who were told once in their life they were funny and foolishly chose to believe it. There's an old expression in TV that describes an unfailingly witty and charming guest on a talk show (think Amy Sedaris or Billy Crystal) as "giving good panel." Far too many wine people think they give good panel when all they give is, well, panel.
So when I was invited to a panel discussion about Limerick Lane Zinfandel, I cringed. I loved the concept. Jake and Scot Bilbro, the brothers who own Limerick Lane, blackmailed all the folks who make Zinfandel from their fruit into bringing bottles of their 2013's and talking about the vineyard. I love Zinfandel, so the chance to taste the Limerick Lane Zins next to the Matthiasson, Carlisle, Bedrock, Siduri and Biale versions made my heart race. I've got a little boner for Zin and it was being insistent, as boners can be. (I don't know, is it me, or is there not enough use of the word "boner" in wine writing?) So, despite hating the idea of sitting through a panel discussion, I accepted the invitation.
The tasting was held at Healdsburg's SHED. SHED is on the very cutting edge of wine country pretension, a place that uses the word "curate" a lot, and has a fermentation bar. I find that kind of thing creepy. After I visit I want to wash my hands in the Men's Peristalsis Bar. But they do have a pleasant event space upstairs that comfortably accommodated the fifty or so attendees, who were curated by Limerick Lane's David Messerli. On the panel were Jake and Scot Bilbro, Mike Officer (Carlisle), Steve Matthiasson (duh), Adam Lee (Siduri), Morgan Twain-Peterson (Bedrock) and Tres Goetting (Biale). The moderator was Tegan Passlacqua (Turley, and his own Sandlands). That's a lot of winemaking talent.
Zinfandel gets short shrift among wine folks, in general. This is nuts to me. I've noticed there is a sudden fascination with Barbera among wine people lately, for example, a Barbera has won about four Best Red in Show Awards at recent wine competitions. I like Barbera just fine. But Barbera isn't nearly as compelling a variety as Zinfandel. Where Zinfandel bats a robust third for California, Barbera is a scrappy eighth place hitter. Why all the fuss about Barbera? Well, it's usually leaner and more emaciated than Zin, and we seem to be in that sort of wine-consuming modality these days. Courtesy of IPOB and the Natural Wine crowd—all those Wine Amish People. Zin, at its best, is curvy and voluptuous, busting out of its undergarments, absolutely ready to go at the drop of a trou. Yet at its best, it also delivers beauty and completeness, and can be wonderfully generous with food (I love Zin with most pizza, as well as rare lamb and all sorts of other foods). And there's just something special about the Limerick Lane Vineyard. The panel attempted to explain why.
I won't bore you with the discussion. Mostly because, like the quality journalist I am, I didn't take any notes. The aforementioned winemakers are all friends, and their camaraderie was contagious, but the talk was a lot of Brix, pH, TA, and other assorted chemistry crap that no actual wine person cares about any more than FaceBook users know shit about how the internet actually works. Besides, I was distracted by the six wines sitting in front of me, all Limerick Lane Zinfandels from the classic 2013 vintage.
I get invited to events like Limerick Lane's because they hope I'll write about it. I always intend to, but if I'm not compelled by the event or the wines, I lose interest. And that's deadly to writing of any kind. But there's another issue with an event like this one. None of the wines tasted, outside of Limerick Lane's, is available. Limerick Lane doesn't have a lot of extra fruit to sell, so each winemaker on the panel had but a couple of tons of Zinfandel with which to work. A couple of tons translates into about 125 cases. So good luck with that. There are more cases of mad cow disease in California (if you can, get the one made from Old Bovines). My apologies for writing about wines you probably can't get. The point of the tasting, simply put, was that Limerick Lane Vineyard is such a great Zinfandel vineyard that even some of the best young winemakers in California can't fuck it up.
A point that was repeatedly made by the panel (and the nature of panels is to make the same point in different words several times) was how well the Zinfandel at Limerick Lane holds its acidity at high levels of ripeness. This seems to be unusual for Zin, if not most varieties. The result is wines of uncommon freshness, and, indeed, most of the wines were brilliantly vivid considering their weight and ripeness. The '13 Matthiasson was by far the leanest of the bunch, though it had also just been bottled and couldn't have been at its absolute best. Nevertheless, it showed the typical red fruit profile of Limerick Lane Vineyard, though in a very lean, restrained, rather ungenerous style. When I spoke with Steve Matthiasson afterward he told me that had he been more familiar with the vineyard, with its propensity to hold its acidity, he wouldn't have picked his grapes nearly as soon as he had. Honest guy. Of all the wines, I found his Zin the simplest and the least interesting. Yet it still had great brightness and lovely aromatics, and was expertly made.
Siduri's version struck me as the most disjointed. It was elbows and knees and Adam's apples. Much riper than Matthiasson, it was sweet with alcohol, noticeably oaky, and kind of fat. That can be a style that folks like, but sitting next to the Twiggy version its extraction and ripeness really stood out, and not in a flattering way. Maybe it points out that folks who don't spend a significant amount of time making Zin often struggle with it, make odd wines. Zin is a harsh mistress, even more challenging, I think, than Pinot Noir, and far more difficult than Cabernet Sauvignon. The guys on the panel who specialize in Zin made much better examples.
Morgan Twain-Peterson's Bedrock version was brilliant. Morgan is a great winemaker of Zin, in my book, one of the best—even better than his illustrious father. His Limerick Lane Zin had everything—a beautiful nose, all that luscious, ripe red fruit (raspberry and plum), Zin's spicebox, amazing vibrancy and delineation, remarkable freshness for a wine of such power, and a very long finish. Oh man, I wish I owned some of it.
Same goes for Mike Officer's Carlisle Limerick Lane 2013 Zinfandel. Wow. It seemed a bit unkempt at the event, I can't remember when Mike said it had been bottled, as though it was bottle shock-y. But it was great Zin. It was really cool to taste the stylistic differences between two such great versions of that great vineyard, the Bedrock and the Carlisle. The Carlisle was bigger, a bit more extracted, and, at that moment, showed chalkier tannins. But a lot of the '13 Zins I've tasted have significant tannins, which may be symptomatic of the vintage, and maybe related to the drought's effect on vines. Hey, I'm guessing. Which is why they don't put me on panels. Or maybe why they should. Anyhow, the Carlisle is really big and really beautiful—why does Charlize Theron come to mind? I don't think it has been released yet, so, Mike, if you're reading this, HEY, SAVE A COUPLE OF BOTTLES FOR THE DAMNED HOSEMASTER!
I didn't know that Biale made a Limerick Lane Zin, but it makes perfect sense. Their 2013 was also stunning, though it seemed to me to be the least emblematic of the vineyard. So what? It was delicious. Slightly jammier than the others, except maybe the Siduri, it had great intensity and that brilliant bright red fruit and invigorating freshness that is the hallmark of the place. Amazing how that ran through each wine, each winemaker improvising on that theme. Cool to experience. Like listening to five great sax players riffing on the same melody. All great, but all about style.
Scot Bilbro presented two of the Zins from their Limerick Lane label, the 1910 Block Zin, and their "basic" Limerick Lane Zin. The 1910 Block Zin was big and bold and beautiful, but, that day, it was very unyielding. I guess that's as it should be, and one might hope that a wine like that would be held back by the winery for a couple more years for it to blossom in the bottle. But economics don't work in harmony with winemaking. So it goes. I wish I could sit with this wine for several days. Like a great storyteller, I know it has a lot to say, and is no hurry to say it. There's little doubt it's wonderful Zin, but when you have about ten minutes to taste it, well, that's not nearly enough time for something so intrinsically interesting.
But the humble 2013 Limerick Lane Zinfandel (available at some point in the near future) was the star of the show, I thought. It synthesized the beauty of the site's bright red fruit, flashy acidity, sweet succulence, supple tannins and lingering finish. Zinfandel just doesn't present like this very often, but at this place, in this little corner of the Russian River Valley, it sings. It makes me wonder how many places in California Zinfandel would outdo Pinot Noir, outdo Cabernet, if only people showed it more passion and respect. If you love Zin at all, try a Limerick Lane Zinfandel. These seven talented winemakers can't be wrong. If you don't like a Limerick Lane Zinfandel, trust me, it's you. But you knew that.

Sonu Sood, who has dubbed for the Hindi version of Hollywood film "The Legend of Hercules", wants to lend his voice for action star Sylvester Stallone.
"I have always been a huge fan of Sylvester Stallone. His films left an impression on me and I started exercising after seeing him. I would love to dub any of his films," the 41-year-old told reporters here Saturday.
There were reports that earlier Akshay Kumar was approached to dub for the film.
When asked about it, Sonu said, "I had also heard this. But Akshay is family and we have recently shot 'It's Entertainment' together. He is like an elder brother.
"He is also a Punjabi and I am also a Punjabi, so it doesn't matter who does it as long as the film is good."
Sonu was last seen in "R...Rajkumar" and is currently shooting for Farah Khan's "Happy New Year".

Rumor: Bill Ward Fired from Black Sabbath?
Update: Sharon Osbourne has posted the following message on her Facebook account: "I am not in any position to hire or fire anyone in Black Sabbath. I don't manage the band, I manage my husband." The original story follows.
The drama surrounding Bill Ward's relationship with Black Sabbath is still heating up, and according to MetalTalk.net, Sabbath's original drummer has been fired by Sharon Osbourne.
The website cites a "reliable source" who told them Ward was sacked from the band, and would be replaced with Ozzy Osbourne's solo drummer, Tommy Clufetos, in the meantime.
This all stems from a long message Ward posted on his website last week, letting fans in on the fact that he may quit the band unless a "fair contract" is drawn up that he feels recognizes his contributions as a founding member of the band.
Sabbath posted a response the next day, saying, "We were saddened to hear yesterday via Facebook that Bill declined publicly to participate in our current Black Sabbath plans...we have no choice but to continue recording without him although our door is always open... We are still in the UK with Tony. Writing and recording the new album and on a roll... See you at Download!"
We'll keep you posted as the facts surface.
If you want to throw your support behind Ward, there's a new Facebook group called "1,000,000 Black Sabbath fans say yes to Bill Ward" that you can check out here.

Just ask Iron Maiden, Billy Corgan, or VH1/SIRIUS radio rock jock Eddie Trunk if they think Sharon Osbourne is a manipulative douchebag. They would probably say yes but ask why was I being so lenient in my description.
February 08, 2012 at 1:11pm
Since when has Sharon been the manager of Black Sabbath? I know she is Ozzy's manager/master/owner but I cant see Tony letting her be the manager of the band. If this is true, she is the evil witch that Vince Neil said she was. Good luck Bill. I've seen you on a few shows, listened to many interviews with you and believe you to be a good person. If your not involved with the tour, I wont be going to see the show (thats if Tony is healthy enough to even do a tour). Speedy recovery Tony.

DEFINITION of 'Riskless Society'
A fictional society in which the world markets become complete and sophisticated enough that every imaginable risk can be mitigated by insurance. The notion of the riskless society was deveopled by Dr. Kenneth Arrow and Gerard Debreu, which has led the way to further progress in the risk management sciences.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Riskless Society'
The theories presented by Arrow and Debreu were based on an assumption of market equilibrium that stands in opposition to much of the empirical evidence the markets provide us with. Modern behavioral finance theory attempts to study markets under states of non-equilibrium.
Debreu won the Nobel Memorial Prize for this work in 1983. Since Arrow and Debreu's work was first published, the prevalence of financial derivatives products has grown exponentially.

Anti-Mafia Police Detain Man over Phone Threat against Bulgaria PM
Officers of Bulgaria's Chief Directorate "Combating Organized Crime" have detained a man who made a phone threat against Prime Minister Boyko Borisov.
The threat was made via the 112 emergency phone line, according to reports of the Interior Ministry.
A 61-year-old man called to voice his dissatisfaction with the way Bulgaria was being governed, saying that Borisov "ought to be killed."
After an hour, operators of the 112 emergency phone received two similar calls made from the same number.
GDOP officers found that the number was of 61-year-old Y.B., a Sofia citizen with a criminal record for theft.
The man was detained for 24 hours and his mobile phone and five SIM cards, were seized, including the one from which the threat had been made.
After a questioning, the man was issued a warning protocol.

Beautiful handmade leather goods of fine quality, excellent customer service
In one year I made several orders through your website and I'd like to tell you how much I appreciate your products.
I was delighted to receive my phone case, made of beautiful leather, in a wonderful orange. I couldn't believe that I could get such a lovely phone case, so quickly and at such a low price. I have had other cases, which cost ten times the price, and were of comparable quality. Very highly recommended indeed. Alan Haste

A range of test shots are shown over the next few pages. Here, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, but on some shots a crop taken from the original at full resolution has been placed below it in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.
Full-sized versions of some of the following images can be downloaded by clicking on the sample shots as indicated. However be aware that the average file size is over 2MB, so those on very slow connections will experience some delay.
The 8MP sensor is a good size to take advantage of the high quality Retinar lens, which provides plenty of sharp detail.
This is a 100percent resolution crop from near the bottom of the above shot. Not a trace of edge distortion or chromatic aberration.
The Kodak Colour Science image processor is one of the best around for perfect colour reproduction.
The lens does produce some barrel distortion at its widest angle setting, but it is no more severe than that produced by many other 3x zoom compacts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by anoodle7 No better place to vacation We have stayed at the St. Regis several times, and it is by far the best place we've been to. We will be back as often as we can. The setting is luxurious, beautiful, and relaxing all at the same time. The service is second to none. And the food both at Fern and Molasses is simply delicious. If I could go back three times a year, I would. You're making a mistake if you don't book a trip here. There's no place that compares for a great get away in paradise. May 30, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by JTCSMB Great Service, Relaxing Vacation Just returned from 5 wonderful days at the St Regis Bahia Beach. The staff was exceptionally friendly, very accommodating, and always around (but never in the way). Our butler checked in with us several times a day, to ensure that we had everything we needed to make our stay an absolute pleasure. As a SPG Platinum member, we were upgraded to a St Regis Suite, which was enormous. The property was very clean and the pool was spectacular. There are plenty of things to do, and plenty of places to do nothing at all! I Highly recommend this property, although reluctantly, but only because I don't want everyone else to find this gem. We're already planning our return trip. May 6, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by EscapeFromWinter Beautiful property close to San Juan It feels like a completely different world, yet so close to San Juan. The property itself is absolutely beautiful. A huge, private beach, which is great for walking. We also enjoyed paddle-boarding in the lagoon. The pool area was nice, but fairly crowded when we were there with lots of kids. The best part about our experience was our wonderful suite. Huge, very nice, and quiet. We enjoyed breakfast each morning on our balcony, which was very nice. The service was hit or miss at the hotel and the food was good, but nothing to write home about. April 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by itewk Relaxing, Bug Food Was a Let Done We had a relaxing time but must say that the food was the biggest let down. For the prices charged we would have expected something more then just average fair. I do not mind spending at those levels for a quality meal. But each meal we tried at the various on resort restaurants, while not bad, did not seem worth the expense. April 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Keadyfamily World Class Experience at Every Touchpoint Our family just returned from 5 nights at the St. Regis Bahia. We discussed it on the flight home that we were not dissapointed on ANY level with our selection. Flight from Charlotte was direct and 3 hours. Driver met us as promised and delivered an excellent overview of the property on the 30 minute ride to the hotel. From the minute we stepped foot on the property we were addressed by name. Our room (Astor Suite) was perfectly cleaned, stocked and very comfortable. Our 13 year old daughter basically had her own room and bathroom when the living room couch was set up for her. The Spa on three visits was perfect!! We visted all three restaurants and expereinced In Room dining. All were superb. We were introduced to Tiago the hotel manager who was extremely gracious and attentive over our stay. What I was so impressed with was that everyone is engaged!! You wont pass someone that doesnt greet you and smile and rest assured you will see alot of staff. Tiago informed us they have 450 staff memebers for 120 rooms. Thats almost four to one staff to room ratio. Special recognition to Freddy the pool manager and Jessica in the Spa. Thank you to Tiago and the entire staff for creating a lasting family experience that we wont soon forget! We have every intention of returning...All the Best!! April 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jinkie Not a quiet and relaxing resort The location and facilities, with the exception of the dank and moldy smelling rooms was beautiful. The direct flights from Philly, DC, NYC, Boston, and Chicago encourages families with very young children to descend on this property. It was overrun with families and children under the age of 12. Pool was nothing short of a zoo with kids running the show and lack of discipline from their parents . Hotel staff were clearly overwhelmed causing service to be affected. Not a quiet, romantic resort. April 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AP15 Mind blowing property with amenities Impeccable property with fantastic service. We stayed in a St. Regis Suite and it was beautiful and spacious. Beach is fantastic at this property with plenty of fun things to do for the kids. Butler service is perfect as you dial one number (0) and that person handles everything. Property is just about 25 to 30 minutes from the San Juan airport, which is very convenient. Rented a car, drove to many of the sites near the hotel. Feeding the fish at 6pm was a highlight for our 3 yr old. Everyone greets you with a big smile and everyone knows your name. Nice golf course on the property as well. Will bring my clubs next stay. Definitely recommend this site. Prepare to be spoiled! One last thing...have the chocolate chip cookies at SeaGrapes bar near the pool. April 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bill613 Great Escape Two couples spent three nights, four days at the resort. Best place for relaxation. The staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to make sure everyone is taken care of. It was Easter break and many small kids there but there are only 169 rooms so it wasn't crowded or too noisy. Food was great but expect to pay island prices. The Kobe burger is terrific. There are only two things they need to do to make the vacation perfect. They need towel clips at the beach to keep the towels from flying off the chairs in the wind. They need to consider entertainment by the pool from 5-7pm with some live local music and keep the bar open longer. There is very limited activities after 5 pm in and around the pool. This is a special place with special people. You will love it!! April 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by chels33 Loved everything about our stay The St. Regis Bahia Beach was first class in every aspect. The property was beautiful - between the pool, private beach and luxurious rooms everything onsite made us feel relaxed and pampered. Everyone on the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The food at Fern was especially delicious! April 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by sal623 Accommodations are amazing! the room and the facilities were amazing! the staff was so courteous and the guys that help you on the property were friendly and just over the top to make your stay pleasurable. The only thing that was a disappointment was the food. the service is the Fern restaurant was poor; the steak was overdone and the server never even came back to see if the food was prepared correctly. other than that, the place was amazing. April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gaywyn1 Wonderful Hotel Beautiful Hotel. Staff was very accommodating to our needs. Several staff, Robert and Jose at Fern for breakfast were wonderful. Jeff also went above and beyond to make our stay fabulous. Joselle also was terrific! April 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Newyorkcouple Luxury and Relaxation in a Beautiful Setting Our vacation started with a wonderful greeting from Liza at the front desk who welcomed us back as it was our 4th visit to this wonderful resort! My husband and I love that the hotel is intimate but has all of the luxurious service you expect at a St. Regis hotel.We dined each night at the Fern restaurant (a Jean-Georges!) and the food/service is excellent. The servers are knowledgeable about the food and so warm and personable. The pool staff is also so friendly and accommodating! We can't wait to return! April 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cb180 Excellent everything was great..had alot of fun. April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MAwestcoast Wow another wonderful St. Regis!!! This was the first time we stayed at this St. Regis and everything was top notch. From the very smooth check in and the recognition of me being a SPG Platinum member (we got there early and even though they were at full capacity they got us in our room without having to wait – thank you Platinum SPG!) to the very large and comfortable room with a great shower, balcony and bed, and off to enjoying the resort. Although we passed by the pool for the 6 days we where there we never utilized it but it looked very nice. We love the beach! The beach guys would set up your very own spot on the private 2 mile beach with chairs, towels, umbrella and table and where very accommodating. We want to personally thank John, Karlos and Angel (Seagrapes bartenders) as they where so great offering us some wonderful local drinks and took care of us the whole time! Kudos to the 3 of you for being very personable, nice and fun to talk with as you made our stay very enjoyable!!!Now to Naomi (Front Desk Manager) for trying her very best to get us a upgraded suite (even though we were NEVER in our room) and offering us a very romantic rose petal turndown service what a nice touch! All in all we loved the private 2 mile beach and taking walks to the end of each side of the beach each morning to dinner at Fern each night (so much better than Molasses which we only eat at once) to the boat house to enjoy bike rides and the kayak's during the day. Thanks for making our stay one of the best we have ever had at a St. Regis and we will definitely be back!!!Oh and one last thing - USA Network was there one day tapping one of their drama shows on the beach and the day before Chi-Chi Rodriguez (world famous PGA tour professional) eating breakfast at Fern then doing a interview on the lawn – just goes to show how nice this place is as Chi-Chi owns multiple resorts throughout PR but came to the St. Regis! April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jbs1977 Beautiful location, unbelievable staff My wife and I chose the St. Regis for a long weekend away from the kids for its proximity to the States but received so much more. At the moment we landed, we were greeted by our driver Charlie who was professional yet incredibly friendly. The trip from the airport was quick and scenic, and upon arrival at the resort, we were amazed by both the staff and the amenities. The staff is unparalleled in the Caribbean, exceptionally friendly and always willing to help. The room feels brand new and our view of the water from the lanai was amazing. The pool, though crowded at times, was tranquil and relaxing. The location on Bahia Beach is beautiful and conducive to long walks with your spouse and/or kids. The spa is exceptional for relaxation, and we strongly recommend yoga and a beachfront massage. The food was great, especially the tasting menu at Fern. Overall, we had a great trip and hope to be back soon! April 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SPGTraveler Fabulous Hotel This is an absolutely fabulous hotel, and I have been back five times now. From the minute you arrive, it feels like you have entered a tropical paradise. The staff are friendly and courteous, they make you feel at home. My only two criticisms from this trip are: (1) the mini-fridge was not complete cleaned from the previous guest and (2) poolside drink service continues to be slow. Even with these two items, I'd highly recommend this hotel for your next tropical vacation. It is one of my favorite SPG properties. March 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DFamily Family vacation Our family of 5 just returned from 6 wonderful nights at the St. Regis Bahia Beach. After a few mix-ups on arrival, the hotel manager and staff did everything they could to make up for the issues and ensured we had a great vacation. Traveling with a baby and 3 and 4 year old is not easy but we were having such a good time we actually extended our stay by 1 night. The pool is great and warm. Food was expensive, as expected, but the quality was very good. The chocolate chip cookies are fantastic! The beach is beautiful although very windy much of our trip. The spa is beautiful and services great. I cannot say enough about the kids club- the Iguana Club. It is small but the staff great so our 3 and 4 year old boys begged to go each morning! The Koi fish feeding ritual each night at 6pm was a highlight for our children. We prefer the St. Regis Punta Mita but from the east coast Puerto Rico is a MUCH easier trip so we would recommend this resort to friends! March 30, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Baldy013 Not for couples! This is a great place if you have kids. But if you are a couple looking for a getaway, this is not for you. There are little kids running around making noise in every area of the resort. When we asked whether there is any area designated for adults, we were told to go sit on the lawn! They need to designate an area of the (large) pool for adults as other couples felt the same way. Also, when we needed to shower after our checkout, they sent us all the way to a sister resort to use their facilities, rather than let us use the showers in the spa (despite us paying a high daily "resort charge"). Overall not entirely worthy of st regis name. I do recommend the tennis instructor - he is great! March 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gold2013 Superb facility; staff quality fluctuates hotel is maintained impeccibly; high end restaurants are well staffed with professional help; pool restaurant staff is spotty and service is painfully slow at times; same true with breakfast staff; room service needs vast improvement as does turndown serivce. the overall facility is one of the best in Puerto Rico. But for the weakness in the training of some of the staff, the Hotel would qualify as a perfect Five Star. No SPG recognition. March 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by frequentguest99 beautiful resort, but with a few problems For the rate charged, I expect to be able to get two pool side chairs at 10 am each day. Also, the service is not great and the hotel simply misses on many areas that a 5 star luxury hotel shouldn't like stacked chairs visible by the morning coffee station, like a mix of very average tables and chairs in the Molasses restaurant, like not being able to get a drink at the bar after midnight when the staff basically stacks up all the chairs and cushions and gets ready for overnight vacuuming. Very unprofessional. March 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by APEKC In tune with nature We felt good about staying in a resort that's certified by Audubon for its environmental friendliness. Speaking of which, we got a great lesson on Puerto Rico's coral reefs from a friendly environmentalist at the boat house. March 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NUGGY Spectucular Vacation I Stayed at the hotel with my 3 daughters and we could not have been more pleased. Everyone treated us like royalty. No one would let us lift a finger to even take our own towel at the pool. All of the staff was so friendly and made us feel so welcome and cared for. the facility is beautiful as well as beautifully maintained and fits so nicely into the environment. It was a perfect vacation for us. We can't wait to return. Thank you, Ruth & 3 daughters March 17, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by fragglejax nice amenities The grounds were beautiful. You will not have an ocean view, but the rooms are spacious. The floor looked like it needed a really good scrubbing. It was gross. The staff behaved like the room was amazing, but it smelled really musty. The service was good The pool was nice and the ocean was nice. The drinks were insanely pricey so probably a good idea to buy liquor elsewhere. I wouldn't really bring kids because there is no lifeguard on the beach. However, there were families with kids, but they kept them in the pool. The bicycles were Cannondale, I was impressed until I saw they were not maintained at all. They removed the shifters from many of the bicycles. There is a short bike path which was nice. Jean Georges was delicious and we did the tasting menu. The atmosphere/view was great and the food was yummy. Would be a nice venue for a wedding, for sure. March 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bklyn2012 great family vacation! We loved our recent stay at St. Regis in Bahia Beach. The choice of where to go for vacation with our 3 and 5 year old children was extremely hard - we wanted to stay at a premium resort/hotel with good food and enough activities to occupy the kids for 5 days. After reviewing our options in Jamaica, Turks & Caicos, and the Dominican Republic, we decided to come here and WERE VERY HAPPY WITH OUR CHOICE! We redeemed Starpoints for a free stay in a Standard Room, which was extremely spacious and beautiful. The food was great, although I think the kids menu could use more healthy options. For adults, food at Fern was great - we tried almost everything on the menu and especially liked the Hamachi Sashimi, Avocado Pizza, Truffles Pizza, Snapper with Brussels Sprouts, Grouper with Black Beans, and Beef Tenderloin. Breakfast at Fern was wonderful, with lots of choices for the whole family. Upon check-in, we were recommended to sign up for a dining plan so we enrolled one of our kids in that program ($35/day includes 3 meals, with drink+entree+dessert at lunch and dinner). It was a valuable option and I would recommend it to other parents (our younger daughter often shared the meal with our older, so they both didnt need their own plan). The property is beautiful and well maintained. We did a "nature trail" tour (offered at 10:30am every day except Tuesday and Wednesday) and got to explore the entire area of the resort, with citings of beautiful rare birds). There were many other families at the resort, so the kids made new friends and had fun interacting with others at the pool. The resort also maintains a beautiful pond of koi fish, and they invite the kids to come feed the fish every night at 6 oclock. Lots of fun, not to be missed. We look forward to returning here some day! and would definitely recommend the resort to others. March 15, 2014

Friendly helpful staff
Our room needed repair
Bathroom ceilings were moldy and texture falling down rm 305
The location was excellent
My room was a little dusty and the carpet was not vacuumed properly.
Great room and close to so many things. Highly recommend for individuals not wanting to break the bank for a nice room!
dead bugs in room no ac poorly maintained. very poor staff
nothing a dump is cleaner
The staff were friendly and brought a microwave and hooked it up right away when we told them the room we were given didn't have one as we expected.Super Walmart just down the road from motel. Quiet, no road noise. Fast wireless signal.
Bathroom door wouldn't stay closed. Room had bad odor but we remedied it with plug in freshener's.

Regular Price: $22.99
Special Price: $21.00As low as: $20.50
In the vernacular of cricket commentators, 'whaddarippa!'. Does everything you want of a lightish to mediumish bodied red. Bright, friendly, fruity, spicy perfume. Juiciness to texture, some savouriness of earth and stones in the mix of dark, gently sweet fruit with a whip crack of acidity to freshen the palate. It's like every wine you've drunk too much of because you're onto a good thing. Slurp away, satisfied, touch of complexity, feels good in the mouth,
goes down with a glide. Yes thanks; and what a bargain! 93 points Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $52.00
Special Price: $49.99
Cool climate. In the best sense of the words. This is a beautiful wine. Fluid, riven with pepper-spice, satiny and long. The Jimmy Watson wasn't a fluke. This is quite exquisite. Meat, cloves, liquorice, roasted nuts and black cherries. Woodsmoke drifting through. Herbage as an afterthought, but an important one. Water-based flavours but with a gentle slink of alcohol. 400 dozen produced.
Expect them to fly. 96 points Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $21.50
Special Price: $20.00As low as: $19.50
Review "Includes 15% whole bunch and 30% new oak. Good numbers.
Bright floral purple fruit, almost jubey, but spicy and lightly earthy too, with a smattering of dried herb and chocolate. Medium bodied, fresh and well defined, boysenberry and red cherry, clean acidity and a light drag of slatey tannin on a long finish. Pretty, complex and easy to smash.
Significant over delivery of pleasure and value here. 94 points Gary Walsh Winefront.com.au"
Regular Price: $20.00
Special Price: $19.00As low as: $17.99
Nice wine this – feels like essence of Hunter Valley Shiraz. Medium bodied with savoury tannins drawling through the wine. Offers up red fruits, dustiness but not too much, and light, washy acidity keeps things fresh. It might lack some stuffing but it's pitch-perfect as an example of Hunter and drinkability with savouriness. Crunch and chew in the finish lends a hand.
Better than you think. 91 points Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $27.99
Special Price: $26.00As low as: $25.00
Dusty scents of earth, red berry on briar, cedar and game meats. Reserved, kind of serious perfume. Red currants, sweet-sour flavours, plush in texture but contained in architecture of dusty tannins and drawn long and tight across the palate to a cinched, puckering point.
Like the medium bodied feel and tension here. Excellent. 93 points Mike Bennie Winefront.com.au
Regular Price: $33.99
Special Price: $32.00As low as: $31.00
.....It tastes like the future of Barossa Mataro. Just 1290 bottles produced.
Dark maroon-purple, it's genuinely fragrant - which is revelatory for dour old Barossa Mataro - with the spicy whole bunch fruit giving a whole new sexy edge. There's a lightness and freshness of black fruit, tilled earth and fine tannins, if not quite the depth and length of a superstar. Gee this is much more approachable and lively than nearly any other Barossan Mataro though! Love the licoricey fruit and refreshing style.
Yes. Yes yes yes.

"94+ Points. I reckon I've tasted every vintage of Leeuwin Art Series Chardonnay on release since 1992, so this brings me up to 21 vintages. I'm an adult now. I like this a little more than the 2011.
Hazelnut, pear, melon, toast and clove spiced wood. Full bodied, toasty savoury wood plays a leading role in the flavour profile, though of course there's the typical Leeuwin fruit power to go with it. Pear and lime in the mix, silky honeyed texture, then a little crunch of tannin on the finish. Great length. Has complexity already as a young wine, but really needs a few years to settle down and mesh, at which point it will almost certainly rate a little higher. Tasted: Mar15 Alcohol: 14% Price: $99 Closure: Screwcap Drink: 2018 - 2025+"- Gary Walsh, The Wine Front. 94+ points
This nero d'avola is another. It's sweetly fruited, leathery but bright, and is awash with integrated, refreshing acidity. A 'one glass isn't enough' kind of wine. It tastes of jubey boysenberry shot through with spice, dust and aniseed, and has plenty of grippy dryness through the finish. Not a big wine, but it makes more of an impact than its size would suggest. " 92 points Winefront.com.au

Romantic awakenings for Robin Williams!
The comic and Oscar-winning actor, 60, married graphic designer Susan Schneider at the luxurious Meadowood Resort in the Napa Valley town of St. Helena, Calif., on Sunday. Rumored guests at the bash included Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Billy Crystal, among others.
PHOTOS: Gorgeous celeb wedding photos
In the days leading up to her wedding, Schneider, who heads up graphic design firm Critical Eye Design, told the San Francisco Chronicle she was "so excited and so thrilled" for her big day.
It's the third marriage for the "Good Morning Vietnam" star who finalized his divorce with second wife Marsha last year. He has three kids: son Zachary, 28, with first wife Valerie, and daughter Zelda, 22, and Cody, 19, with ex Marsha.
PHOTOS: Huge celeb engagement rings
According to British paper The Guardian, he met Schneider shortly before undergoing heart surgery in mid-2009; she nursed him back to health at his L.A.-area home.
Daughter of the groom Zelda Williams tweeted about the big Napa weekend. "Let the wedding madness begin!" she wrote Saturday. "Dad just called @RobertKazinsky and @ShannonCollis my hetero-lifemates at the wedding," she cracked of two male pals.
PHOTOS: Surprise! Meet Robin's celeb roomie
"Just realized my tweets have probably been misconstrued. No, it's not my wedding, haha. Thanks for the congratulations regardless. The wedding festivities rage on but my tired feet are done. Think it's time to lay in the tub, eat m&m's and write."
