What wide pots do you use? I've always tried to get small stoves to fit narrow pots, but it makes much more sense to have a wider pot. What's your favorite?
Evernew:600ml, 900ml, and 1300ml wide pots. I have them all 3. They fit like a glove inside each other, so storing is easy and convenient. Very high workmanship. High quality titanium I chose the version without the nonstick to keep it simple and durable. 600ml I use for solo900ml for big meals solo or duo use1300ml for big meals duo or for 3 person groups And i bring a combination for fancy cooking. Use them with esbit and gas. The sidewinders in titanium from Trail Designs, makes a great windscreen and potholder combination. Very expensive, but my future kids can inherit them ;-)

+1 on the Evernew. Currently I have the 600. Have a stainless set from the 80's as well. Good quality. Last forever.
Titan Kettle. Don't know if it is considered wide, but it is my widest solo pot.
kmart grease pot
MSR Titan kettle for my alcohol cone clone, and for my 2 person canister boils. SP 600 for my single guy canister boils. Firelite 550 for my solo Esbit setup. Titanium screens included with each setup.
Mini-Trangia (Trangia 28). Great for solo trips - cheap and light.
Me, I prefer a simple two quart aluminum cooking pail like this one –http://www.campmor.com/outdoor/gear/Product___82008 7.38 ounces, eleven bucks from Campmor. Light enough for solo use and holds plenty for cooking for a group or a towel bath or for carrying water back to camp.If my memory serves, that's about the same weight as an unmodified Walmart grease pot, which makes a fine tea pot but is otherwise not so good for cooking in. I simply insist on a pot with a bail so I can hang it over a fire if need be, and the wider pot certainly does heat much better than a tall narrow one. A really great deal on a cook kit and one I've been using for twenty years now is the U.S army surplus "mountain" cook kit.It has a steel fry pan / lid, and two lightweight aluminum nesting pots with bails.It's an excellent set, and you can find 'em here for under twenty bucks –http://store.colemans.com/cart/mountain-cook-kit-us-gi-p-1340.htmlThis set has been around since at least the Korean war, and I highly recommend it.Car camping or canoeing or maybe cycle touring I'll take the whole kit and get up to some fancy cooking.Backpacking I'll take the one biggest outer pot and a lid from an old cooking pail that died years ago. I have two plastic bowls and old palco plastic cups that fit inside. This weighs 13.2 ounces all together, and has been my standard two person kit for about twenty years now. I forget if that weight also includes our Lexan spoons or not, which completes our cook kit. I'll have to check my notebook at home. Allot of UL-ers may consider this "too heavy", but Ray Jardine and his wife use a similar sized pot for two, although my wife and I still haven't given up on bowls and cups! I find this size pot essential for the way I cook. For example - Frying up sausages 'n stuff in the pan over an Optimus 8R, with a big potful 'o rice on the side. Cooking dinner for three over a tiny fire. The pot is simply balanced upon an empty tin can, the contents of which were dumped into the pot to contribute to dinner – Warming water for a nice hot towel bath. It was a rainy and cold evening but with a roaring fire in an old established ring, why not clean up before going to bed? I almost always use a stove, usually an MSR Whisperlight, but for some reasons I don't have any photos of that, to ordinary I guess.

Montbell has a series of wide short pots.Many stoves work more efficiently with wide short pots
I'd second the Evernew pots, I have all three (600, 900, and 1300). Love them. I recently got the 1600ml from LiteTrail.com and am loving that for winter solo and summer duo. I think it's worth checking out.-James
Like others I use (and love) the wide Evernew Ultralight Ti pots. I have both the 600ml and the 900ml. The 900ml is my regular pot and the 600ml is currently a back-up which might become my regular pot once I figure out how to get stove, fuel bottle and windscreen all tucked away inside it.
The snow peak trek titanium bowl holds 20 oz (591 ml), weighs 1.6 oz (45 grams) and is 5.5" wide 3" high. It's hard to use it completely filled, but works for 16 or 18 oz.
"The snow peak trek titanium bowl holds 20 oz (591 ml), weighs 1.6 oz (45 grams)"I've been using one of those for a couple of years. When I got it, I was shocked to find that it weighed 1.8 ounces. I use it with a wire bail instead of a pot gripper.--B.G.--
I like this bowl too. Its light, simple, shaped well, easy to clean.
+1 on the Snow Peak bowl for solo trips. I can get a hot drink and rehydrate a meal with one boil.On hikes with my hubby or for winter snow melting I use the Trangia 25 HA saucepan - 112gm (4oz) for 1.5L capacity.
Edited by jkclancy on 04/30/2013 18:20:08 MDT.
I have used these for several years. good for cooking as reasonably non stick. Cheap too.Works well with wider flame pattern Stoves.Sits stable on an Esbit wing stove and homemade Bushbuddy type woodburner.Also, Nests very snugly inside an Evernew 900 too- The AGG lid fits both pans. Useful set for proper cooking (for 1 or 2)Also Trangia Pans are Good. Homemade Cones (from Kevin Beedens script on Zen Stoves site) fit (sidewinder style inside )All these pans need a gripper. ( I once drilled holes all through a £2 one to save 1/2oz!)If just boiling water, though I tend to use an MSR Titan Kettle. (with cone and Starlyte)I have small Evernew wide pans but for some reason don't 'feel' comfortable with them- the 'sticking out' handle with a cone makes me edgy!( I often cook in tent doorway in bad weather and am clumsy...)
Another +1 for Evernew wide pots. 600, 900, 1300ml are all excellent.Years ago I tested a number of <1L pots looking at fuel efficiency. I don't remember everything I tested but it included the AGG 3cup pot, Walmart grease pot, MSR blacklite and I think one of their Ti pots, Primus Tea Kettle, some Ti Mug/Cups, and the Evernew .9L wide pot. The Evernew was 20% more fuel efficient than the second closest pot.I have been the REI branded version of the Evernew wide 1.3L on group trips for the last 13 years with no plans to make any change. I used the .9L pot for around 10 years until I switch to the MLD pot/mug + ULC Caldera Cone. The MLD pot/mug + ULC is not as fuel efficient as the Evernew .9L + Caldera Cone, but it's the perfect size/shape for me to pack/use, and since I switch to esbits the fractional improvement doesn't matter.--Mark

1L UL hard anodized pot from the Trangia 25-series. Good price (though sometimes tough to find) but no lid (made one from a cheap pie tin.)2L and 0.75L hard anodized set with lids from Four Dog Stove. Great price for a 5-piece set. When I'm gram-weenie'ing, I take a DIY pie tin lid instead.
+1 Titan Kettle+1 AGG Anodized pot (this is my loaners; I have 3)+1 for Evernew 1.3L (when I'm boiling for 2-4 people)-Barry
I like my REI 1.3 liter ti pot quite well. I think it is a rebadged Evernew.

So it looks like there is a major exploit set to wreck havoc on the Apple iPhone. This is for all Apple iPhones. Wired.com is reporting on it and they are saying that "a hacker could control all the functions on the iPhone, such as e-mailing, dialing contacts — and, most alarmingly, sending more text messages to hijack even more iPhones." This is really scary since from the sounds of it the person who hacks into your phone basically can do anything they want with your phone remotely.
The only thing you can do to prevent it apparently is turn off your iPhone and you know that you are being hacked if you receive a text message with a single square character according to Forbes.
At this point Apple has not issued any patch to prevent the exploit or commented on it as far as anyone has seen. Also please remember as was stated in the Wired article "researchers informed Forbes of the SMS exploit, it's worth noting they did not demonstrate it to Forbes." So until we actually see someones Apple iPhone or 3GS get hacked or Apple confirm it we have to say take it with a grain of salt.

POTSDAM A new report from a national nonprofit research organization has slammed SUNY Potsdams teacher education programs, but college officials were quick to defend the schools integrity.
The National Council on Teacher Quality looked at nearly 1,200 programs at more than 600 colleges in a study compiled over two years and released last week.
SUNY Potsdams undergraduate programs for elementary and secondary education both received one star out of four, as did the graduate secondary teacher prep program. The graduate elementary teacher prep program received no stars, only a warning sign of low quality.
Few schools studied by the council emerged unscathed. Only 105 programs scored three or more stars, and only four got perfect marks.
We just dont see that the system that is currently in place today is rigorous enough. We think we can do better, council spokeswoman Katie Moyer said.
SUNY Potsdam officials defended their programs, accusing the council of performing an agenda-driven, methodologically shoddy study.
We were prepared to be disappointed. Weve known about this for quite some time, said Peter S. Brouwer, dean of education and professional studies.
The study was based primarily on course syllabi, demographic information and program requirements. This is not enough to get an accurate picture of the programs effectiveness, Mr. Brouwer said.
They only look at inputs. They dont look at outputs, he said.
SUNY Potsdam interim President Dennis L. Hefner phrased things more strongly, accusing the council of performing hatchet jobs on institutions that dont fall within its narrowly defined standards of quality.
They never met a fact that interfered with their predetermined conclusions, he said.
Mr. Brouwer used the studys view of college selectivity as an example of inaccuracy. All four of SUNY Potsdams programs received zero stars for admissions requirements. According to the study, the college is allowing subpar students to enroll.
However, Mr. Brouwer said, this view is misleading. It looked only at the enrollment requirements for the college as a whole, ignoring the higher standards set by the education department. Students applying to the college do not immediately declare a major, and the department accepts only students with a B average or better.
SUNY Potsdams teacher education programs are nationally recognized by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, and more than 90 percent of students pass the states teacher education exams in most categories.
I think the standards that we are being held to are extremely rigorous, Mr. Brouwer said. These students who go through our systems are very motivated and very prepared.
These qualifications are not rigorous enough to do an accurate job of measuring course effectiveness, according to the council.
Were trying to provide a more nuanced look to consumers, Ms. Moyer said. We are looking to determine where there are gaps or strengths in the design of the program.
Each program was ranked in numerous categories, but the council would not reveal how these categories were ranked to produce a final rating. The organizations methodology has come under fire from the SUNY system.
SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher released eight talking points listing flaws in the study, including a lack of transparency and a lack of research backing up the methodology.
NCTQs rating standards are based on a series of 10 studies conducted over eight years.
At SUNY Potsdam, the education department has paid little attention to the study after the initial furor following its release. Mr. Brouwer said he is confident that it will prove to be just a blip, unlikely to shake things up at the college.
The faculty here know how hard theyre working, he said.
The study, along with more information about methodology, is available at www.nctq.org.

The percentage of high school students reporting they had tried cigarettes reached a historic low in 2005.
The latest Utah Department of Health data show that 25 percent of the teens in the state have experimented with smoking, compared to nearly 50 percent in 1991.
The 2006 tobacco prevention and control program report also shows that the state's youth smoking rate has decreased 38 percent since 1999 and continues to be the lowest in the country.
"Utah's efforts are successfully reducing tobacco use among Utah's teens through local school and community-based prevention programs, a high profile marketing campaign, and efforts to enhance tobacco policies to help youth stay tobacco free," noted Heather Borski, program manager at UDOH. "Local health departments and law enforcement have done a tremendous job of reducing youth's access to tobacco through retailer education and compliance checks as well," continued the statewide program's manager.
Recall of the TRUTH anti-tobacco advertisements was exceptionally high, with 98 percent of youth ages 13 through 17 reporting they had seen or heard the ads in the past month, according to the state health department.
A recent national study of state-funded anti-tobacco media campaigns found that Utah's campaign reached youth more frequently than any other campaign in the study.
Borski said ongoing exposure to the messages is crucial for ensuring that youth smoking rates don't rebound.
The report highlights the accomplishments of the health department's anti-tobacco campaign and the program's partners.
The program report shows that adult smoking has decreased 17 percent since 1999; twice the average decline reported in the United States.
In 2005, 80 percent of Utah adult smokers indicated that they wanted to quit and 60 percent tried to quit for at least one day.
During the 2006 fiscal year, more than 12,000 Utahns enrolled in UDOH-sponsored free or low-cost tobacco cessation services.
The data indicate that fewer pregnant women in Utah are smoking as well, with a 23 percent drop posted between 1999 and 2004.
In addition, the data indicate that the tobacco prevention program's statewide campaign to reduce the exposure of noncigarette and cigar users to secondhand smoke has been particularly successful, pointed out the health department.
Children's exposure to secondhand smoke in homes has fallen by 53 percent since 2001 and more Utahns have adopted household rules barring smoking in homes.
Since 2005, more than 2,500 additional multi-housing units became smoke free at various locations throughout the state.
And since 2003, fewer Utahns report work site exposure to secondhand smoke.
It is anticipated that even fewer people will be exposed to secondhand smoke as amendments to the 2006 Utah Indoor Clean Air Act eventually phase out smoking in taverns, private clubs and other previously exempt venues, according to the public health department.
"We are very encouraged by the latest survey results of smoking behavior in Utah," pointed out Borski. "But we can't sit back and think the work is done."
"The tobacco industry spends over $60 million each year to market and advertise its dangerous tobacco products in Utah. A long-term commitment to tobacco control is crucial to continue to save lives and reduce smoking-related costs," added the program manager.
Borski cited additional public health challenges in the tobacco prevention and control arena. The challenges include the fact that:
Tobacco use remains almost as high in Utah as national figures in the state's low income and less educated populations as well as in some racial and ethnic minority groups.
More than 200,000 Utahns continue to use tobacco.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. And more than 1,100 Utahns die annually as a result of smoking cigarettes.
Every year, Utah incurs more than $530 million in smoking-related medical and productivity costs.

APEX Tip: Page Auto Refresh
This tip provides your users with the option of choosing a refresh interval for the page. The following steps were tested with Apex version 2.2 but should work on earlier versions of Apex or HTMLDB.
- Create an Application Item to store the current refresh interval (e.g.
- Create an Application Computation to initialise it (e.g.
- Computation Item =
- Computation Point = On New Instance (e.g. On Login)
- Computation Type = Static Assignment
- Computation = (default number of seconds, e.g. 60)
- Computation Item =
- Create a static List of Values (e.g.
Display – Return
1 sec – 1
5 sec – 5
10 sec – 10
30 sec – 30
1 min – 60
5 min – 300
(you can change this list how you like, as long as the return values are positive integers)
(it is probably not a good idea to provide zero seconds as an option, as this will cause the page to continually refresh without giving the user much chance to intervene)
Now, for each page you wish to have auto-refreshed, edit the Page Properties:
- HTML Header =
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="&F100_REFRESH_INTERVAL.">
Somewhere in your application you will want to provide the user with a way of modifying the refresh rate. I prefer to provide this on the same page that is auto-refreshed.
Create an Item (e.g.
- Display As = Select List with Submit
- Region = (any region, I prefer the Breadcrumb region if one exists)
- Label = Refresh
- Source Used = Always, replacing any existing value in session state
- Source Type = Item (application or page item name)
- Maintain session state = Per session
- Source value or expression =
- List of Values definition =
I also like to show the date/time when the page was last refreshed. To do this, I just add a display-only text item to the page with:
- Source Used = Always, replacing any existing value in session state
- Source Type = PL/SQL Expression or Function
- Maintain session state = Per session
- Source value or expression =
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'Dy DD Mon HH24:MI:SS')
Now, the page will be auto-refreshed according to the default interval, and the user can change the refresh interval using the select list.
You can add the item and the auto-refresh header to any page you like. If you need a different refresh interval on different pages, you will need to create additional Application Items, along with their own Application Computations to initialise them.
If the user hits the "Stop" button in IE, the page seems to stop auto-refreshing. I don't know if this feature works the same in other browsers, however.
Mette Stephansen permalink
Hi there
I have an application with this style refresh – and I discovered just 10 min ago, that the app runs a pl/sql procedure depening on the REQUEST value .. .so now this procedure har made lots of inserts (every 3 minutes).
How will I best solve that problem? I'm on Apex. 4
Bipul permalink
or whatever value in HTML header works :-)
Hi Jeff:
Hope you could help me out, followed your steps but every time I change the refresh interval using the select list, after submit it gets to the previously set value, i.e. I set the default application item to 150 seconds, so the select list shows 2,5 minutes, when I change it to 5 secs, after it gets reloaded the select list gets back to 2,5 minutes.
Any ideas?
Thanks a ton in advance.

It was almost midnight when someone spotted the banana.
Word on the boat spread quickly. Guys in the back corner were snacking on a bunch, people said, but it was unclear if they threw the talismanic fruit overboard.
No matter — the damage had already been done.
The Western Pride — a no-nonsense, 76-foot Ditmar that had taken off from Davey's Locker Sportfishing and Whale Watching in Newport Harbor about five hours earlier Wednesday evening — was headed back to port without having hooked a single squid.
The 75 or so anglers onboard anticipated waters teeming with Humboldt squid, which are known for their mysterious sudden invasions of California coastal waters.
"This is a natural occurrence that happens periodically since about 2003, although we are not exactly sure why," California Department of Fish and Wildlife marine biologist Dianna Porzio wrote in an email. "Humboldt, or jumbo squid, is a short-lived species that has experienced a range expansion in the last decade or so and are probably feeding and spawning off our coast, but they are normally found in deeper water."
Sometimes, though, they ascend from the depths, making for massive sportfishing hauls.
Sunday night alone, about 15 anglers reeled in approximately 340 squid within about an hour near Dana Point, Rob Armes of Davey's Locker said earlier in the week.
The only reason they didn't catch more was because they didn't have enough anglers.
"If we'd had 40 or 50 people, we'd have gotten 800 to 900 squid," Armes said. "They were floating all around the boat. They were jumping. They were everywhere."
Squid-fishing excursions have been leaving from Dana Wharf nightly since late last week, said General Manager Donna Kalez, and have been coming back with hundreds.
The cephalopods, which in warmer waters can grow to the size of a small person, Armes said, "eat everything in their path."
"They eat fish, they eat each other, anything," he said, adding that the squid chow down on the types of fish anglers usually try to catch.
Porzio said there are no state season or bag limits on Humboldt squid, other than a general invertebrate bag limit of 35.
The problem is predicting when — and for how long — they'll bite.
Wednesday, Anglers had lined up at nightfall, bundled in thick jackets and beanies, or sporting classic yellow slicker suits, drawn by frenzied reports of the squids' arrival off San Diego and Orange County.
Bao Cao, a Fountain Valley resident working in the financial industry, recalled hitting gold on a "crazy" calamari harvest a couple years ago.
"Most likely everyone's going to be soaked with water and ink," he said as he tied a glow-in-the-dark squid jig to a line.
Crew members fillet the squid onboard for $3 a pop, Western Pride crew member Paul Rodriguez said, because the city of Newport Beach "frowns on" the ink stains they leave on cement.
Ripin Young, who said she'd nearly had a panic attack sitting in traffic from San Bernardino, chatted excitedly with her brothers Thomas and Ting about the evening's prospects.

CANTON After nine months of negotiation, St. Lawrence County remains without a contract for assigned-counsel coverage with the county Bar Association although indigent defendants are receiving lawyers through what was to have been a temporary solution.
The contract stalled over the lack of a detailed plan that the Bar Association is working on for approval by the state Office of Court Administration, said Michael C. Crowe, county attorney.
County legislators routinely ask Mr. Crowe for an update on the contract but he has little new to say.
The legislators were disappointed it has not happened sooner, Mr. Crowe said. It could be a while.
Bar Association President Paula A. Michaud did not return calls for comment.
The problem with how indigent defendants received attorneys surfaced when the state Office of Indigent Legal Services refused to allow the county to install grant-funded software.
At the time, the countys indigent defense coordinator worked out of the county Board of Legislators office but the state wanted the work done under an attorneys direct supervision to avoid violating attorney/client privilege.
As a solution, county officials created a legal secretarys position in Mr. Crowes office to handle the clerical work for assigned-counsel cases. The contract with the Bar Association is supposed to create an assigned-counsel administrator who will make the selection of attorneys for clients.
Assigned counsel is the third leg of the system to ensure the poor have legal representation in criminal cases. If determined eligible, their case heads first to the public defender. If that office cannot provide representation, the case goes to the conflict defender. It is only if there is a conflict there that an attorney from the assigned-counsel pool is designated.
Without an administrator for the program, Mr. Crowes office has picked up the slack.
The assignments always done by the judge. The legal secretary assists the court, Mr. Crowe said. We dont do the assigning. The judge has the authority.
It is unclear whether an official plan previously existed that was state-approved.
There may have been a plan many years ago, Mr. Crowe said. I havent seen a current plan unless the contract was the plan because it is very detailed.

You would have to have a shoe repair shop evaluate them - some heels are hollow except at the tip so you might not be able to shorten them and retain the necessary strength - others are solid, so he would have to look at them. Might be able to just remove heel cap, cut down, and put heel cap back on.
Bear in mind that cutting the heels down will rock the shoe "backwards", so you will be walking on sole further back on the shoe - if the unthickened sole part betweenthe heel and the ball of the foot would be walked on because of this, you might have to pay him to add leather there to, which might mean resoling the entire shoe - could get pricey, if these are not worth hundreds of $.
As for evaluating a shoe repai place - only thing I can think is if these are pricey shoes, call store and see if they recommend a particular place. Otherwise Search Angies List for sheo repair places and reviews.

Playoffs? Playoffs?
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Fri, 04/14/06, 02:07pm:
Here, the shtick goes something like this: Win just enough to secure home-court against Denver in a 3-6 matchup...but not enough to overtake Memphis and leave ourselves with a 4-5 matchup against Dallas where we'd play games one and two in Chez Cubano.
We've all sounded the usual refrains about the silliness of a system that rewards mediocrity down the stretch. Sure, it's one thing for lottery teams to be tanking games in service of additional ping-pong balls, but quite another for playoff-bound teams to be phoning it end in the hopes of their failure actually earning them home-court advantage.
What few people have offered up is a remedy - a foolproof playoff system that addresses the failures of the current structure. To review, those failures are:
- Rewarding the first three seeds to the three divisional champs, but not really rewarding them because home-court isn't guaranteed with that seed. As a rule, I'm against "divisions" in leagues where "division" doesn't really mean anything because teams play balanced schedules by and large. But if you're going to crown a champ and give them the seeding, you might as well give them the home-court, too...or else you end up with a Memphis-Clips situation.
- About a third of the time 4s are actually 2s. Dallas drawing San Antinio would be an example of this glitch. This is what happens when you have a prime number of divisions. Four divisions? Good. Two divisions? Good. Three divisions? Not so good.
- The Round One schedule. Just take a look at the ferkakte Denver-San Antonio series last year. Sunday-Wednesday-Saturday for games one, two and three? No wonder San Antonio is always referred to as a veteran team. By the time they get through a single series, their roster has collectively aged 70 years.
My friend, Andrew Davidson, presented a proposal that had me suspicious at first: A World Cup "pool structure." My skepticism emanated from two places. First, I'm not really a soccer fan; I'm not a hater by any means...just not where I choose to do my shopping. Second, I like brackets. They're linear. And pretty.
Nevertheless, Andrew emailed me a spreadsheet from Chapel Hill. And you know what?
His Round One playoff schedule is a helluva lot more fun than watching New Jersey-Milwaukee for the next two and half weeks. Each team plays 6 games. The top seeds in each pool play 4 of those 6 games at home; the bottom seeds in the respective pools play only 2 games at home and 4 on the road; the "middle" seeds play 3 at home and 3 on the road.
I made like an NBA office slave, took into account travel and rest. Here's what I came up with:

(1) San Antonio
(3) Phoenix
(6) Denver
(8) Sacramento
Pool B
(2) Dallas

A badly written cover letter can hurt your chances for landing a great job. More than 76 percent of recruiters said in a recent survey by the Society for Human Resource Management that they would not consider a cover letter with typos, or at best they would toss the accompanying resume into a file rather than consider it for that current job.
It pays to pay attention to every detail in your cover letter.
Avoid Common Blunders
The most common cover letter mistakes are the following:
Style Points
There are some other stylistic pointers to keep in mind:
Before You Hit 'Send'
Proofread and spell-check your letter before emailing it. Now do it again. Ask a friend or family member to read your cover letter for typos and grammatical errors. (Do the same on your resume before you upload it.) If you're stuck on a grammatical point, consult a guide such as the classic Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White or the Chicago Manual of Style.
Finally, send the letter to yourself as a test to check formatting. If you find errors, correct them and read it one more time -- it's easy to overlook a mistake, and you don't a want a typo to ruin all your hard work.
A cover letter may be a brief document, but it's an important one. It introduces you to the recruiter and interests him or her in reading another important document -- your resume.

Joe arrived at our doors in February 2007 from far away, Washington, DC to be exact. Just so no one gets the wrong idea, though, he was merely earning a living in DC; Joe's cultural identity, as well as his professional sports allegiances and, when he has a few drinks in him, his accent, are all Baltimore through and through. After working on the wholesale side of the business for nearly 4 years, Joe decided that he wanted to work wine retail with the best, so he emailed Cindy Westby at K&L and the rest is history. While Joe is well versed in a number of wine regions, he most enjoys the wines of Europe, though he is growing increasingly interested in the great wines of the Santa Cruz mountains. When he is not at K&L, Joe enjoys cooking, traveling, catching up on The Wire, doing occasional PR, booking and recording work for reggae band JohnStone (www.johnstonemusic.com), and writing for his wine, food and music blog, Old world Old School (www.oldworldoldschool.blogspot.com)
2013 Viu Manent Chardonnay Casablanca Valley
Review Date: 10-13-2015
This Chardonnay shows the crisp yellow fruit, lively acid structure and minerality which Chile's Casablanca Valley is already known for in that country (and, we suspect, will soon become better known for here!) Flavors of yellow skinned apples combine with hints of ripe citrus and well integrated oak - subtle toast and spice - all resulting in a very well put together Chard. Enough oak for those who crave some toast, but crisp enough for others who want to taste clean fruit above all else.
Price: $9.99
2012 Bodegas Teso La Monja "Almirez" Toro
Review Date: 10-13-2015
Bright aromas of kirsch and ripe blueberries are sweetly aromatic, literally leaping from the glass. Chai spices also contribute to the pretty aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine shows brooding dark fruit and spicy oak, as it usually does, with flavors that I would describe as falling somewhere between a Syrah and a structured Washington Bordeaux blend. As usual, this is serious wine for fans of full bodied reds with a nice tannic backbone. At under $20 there is a lot of wine for the money.
Price: $19.99
Amaury Coutelas "Cuvée Louis Victor" Brut Champagne
Review Date: 10-07-2015
A blend of Chard, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, what makes this Champagne unique is that the wine comes from a single 6,000 liter foudre, which is fractionally blended so that in includes more vintages than your typical NV Champagne. Interestingly earthy on the nose, the palate is rich, with flavors of apples and, maybe this is just the power of suggestion given the fractional blending (which is sort of like a one barrel version of a solera) but it has some very gentle oxidative and Manzanilla like notes. A great value Champagne for those looking for great quality and originality.
Price: $34.99
2007 Michel Loriot "Monodie Meunier" Extra Brut Champagne
Review Date: 10-07-2015
Just when I thought it could not get any better after tasting Loriot's 08 Inspiration de Saison, Westby pours this wine...what!? This Champagne has it all: fruit purity, a generous palate, electrifying acidity. This is easily one of my favorite Champagnes of the year.
Price: $49.99
2008 Michel Loriot "Inspiration de Saison" Extra Brut Champagne
Review Date: 10-07-2015
From the cuvee reserve right on up the line, I love Michel Loriot wines. That said, I think that this one in particular is truly special. Spicy yellow-fruited aromas and bread dough notes lead to a rich, golden fruited palate. Bright, broad shouldered and richly textured, this is a great wine.
Price: $39.99
2009 Cune Gran Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 10-07-2015
If there is a more accessible, friendly, and yet true to form Rioja Gran Reserva out there for under $30, I have not yet found it! This shows beautiful red fruit flavors - fresh and primary - and just the faintest hint of the savory earthiness that lies ahead, should you choose to cellar this wine. It certainly does not need the extra age, though, as it's impeccably balanced and delivering lots of pleasure at the table.
Price: $29.99
2008 Louise Brison Vintage Brut Champagne
Review Date: 10-07-2015
The product of both a great vintage (2008) and a very closely followed, highly regarded Aube region, that for the past several years has managed to be the source of so many delicious, coveted, even, Champagnes, Louise Brison 08 Vintage Brut is great wine. Given the confluence of terrific vintage and a great grower, this is, surprisingly, a bargain! Aromas are clean and dry, with expressive, focused fruit amplified by electric acidity. While impressive now, it should age nicely as well. A MUST BUY!
Price: $29.99
2010 Señorío de P. Peciña Crianza Rioja
Review Date: 10-05-2015
Along with the likes of Lopez de Heredia, La Rioja Alta, and some others, Señorío de P. Peciña is one of the standard bearers for traditionally styled Rioja. The folks at Peciña are steadfast in maintaining traditional Rioja winemaking practices, pointing out that along with La Rioja Alta, Lopez de Heredia, and a few others, they are the only bodega that continues to carefully age and rack all their wines by hand. That fact combined with their excellent quality vineyards in San Vicente and Labastida makes for consistently satisfying, delicious wines.
Price: $19.99
2013 Yves Duport "Origin'L Reserve" Bugey Brut
Review Date: 10-01-2015
This is a delicious sparkler: bright and yellow fruited aromas lead to a fresh, juicy palate. Quite mineral as well. Tasty!
Price: $16.99
2014 Veronique Anne Perret "Le Minéral" Vin de Savoie
Review Date: 10-01-2015
Aromatic, with lovely pear aromas leading to a crisp palate, punctuated with a very discreet herbal note. Good wine.

2014 Veronique Anne Perret Roussette de Savoie
Review Date: 10-01-2015
The hits continue chez Perret! This 100% Altesse shows the classic creamy, apricot fruited profile that makes it so charming and drinkable.

2011 Domaine Dugois Savagnin Arbois Blanc (Sous Voile)
Review Date: 10-01-2015
Aromas of yellow fruits, particularly loquats, along with that lovely oxidative and flor quality, lead to a convincing palate of first rate sous voile Arbois Blanc! Wonderfully savory, chicken bouillon accented citrus flavors on the palate. This traditional Jura white truly satisfies!

2012 Bodegas Volver "Tarima Hill" Monastrell Alicante
Review Date: 09-16-2015
This is one of our most often requested Spanish value reds. It has ripe dark fruit flavors, intertwined with some sweeter red fruits, spicy as well as smoky notes, and licorice. A big wine for those who like their wines in the bigger, more fruit forward style. As usual, there is a lot to like in the Tarima Hill for those in search of flavor!

2013 Zorzal "Terroir Unico" Chardonnay Uco Valley
Review Date: 09-16-2015
Based in the Gualtallary district of the Uco Valley, an area prized for its complex soils containing calcareous, granite, and stone alluvial deposits, Zorzal, and the brothers Michelini who make its wines, are definitely forging a new path for Argentinean wine. Their m.o. is generally to harvest much earlier than everyone else; they prize acidity in their wines and believe that even wines from the warm, sun drenched Uco Valley should be crisp, vibrant and refreshing. All the Zorzal wines feature fruit from the aforementioned Gualtallary district, and many of them are raised in concrete eggs, a natural choice for folks as avante as they are. These are incredibly interesting wines and well worth discovering. This Chardonnay is all bright, pure, yellow fruit. An honest and very tasty Chard!

2010 Von Siebenthal "Parcela #7" Gran Reserva Aconcagua Valley
Review Date: 09-15-2015
As always, the Viña Von Siebenthal Parcela #7 is a delicious, elegantly textured, detailed Cab blend that brings much more to the table than most any $15 Bordeaux blend has a right to! Layered red fruited and savory aromatics lead to a very complete palate of red cherry fruits, solid secondary flavor development, and very supple, elegant tannins. This is a Bordeaux lover's, perhaps an old school California cab lover's red wine. Typicity, texture and balance are the keys here. Recommended.

2013 Montsecano Pinot Noir Casablanca Valley
Review Date: 09-12-2015
If you found your way to this product description, let's say accidentally and you're not one of the people hip to this project, here is some quick info. Andre Ostertag helps to make the wine. Vineyards are composed of granite. Professional photographer/proprietor Julio Donoso is putting some truly interesting cooler climate Pinot Noir out there and we strongly recommend you try it. It's unlike any other Pinot Noir I've tasted this year, from anywhere. This is the flagship bottling, from Julio's family vineyard. All "winemaking" is in concrete eggs. No steel, no barrels, just huevos concretos!
Price: $44.99
2014 Casa Ferreirinha "Planalto" Branco Reserva Douro
Review Date: 09-08-2015
Bright, steely, and yellow fruited, yet also richly textured with a creamy mouthfeel, this blend of local grape varieties (Viosinho, Gouveio, Arinto, Codega, Malvasia and Moscatel) is delicious. Famous for the highly collectible, very expensive Barca Velha, Casa Ferreirinha also happens to make some of the best value reds and whites in all Portugal. Recommended.
Price: $14.99
2010 Benito Santos "Pago de Xoan" Albariño Rias Baixas
Review Date: 09-08-2015
If you think you know Albariño and want to further explore the variety, Benito Santos' offerings would be a terrific place to start. Benito Santos was one of the original growers in Rias Baixas when the D.O. was created. The company that now bears his name farms Albariño in three distinct vineyards in Salnés. Each of the vineyards is owned by the church and each is dominated by an 8th century chapel. Benito Santos leases the vines in perpetuity. All of the vines are certified organic by CREAGA, the first vineyards certified in Galicia. Xoan is a mere .5 hectare granite vineyard, originally planted 80 years ago. Intriguingly mineral, and not totally dissimilar to very good dry Chenin Blanc - just replace limestone with granite. Aromas of ripe, spicy yellow fruit and stone fruit, as well as apples, lead to a bright and creamy palate: ripe, mineral and incredibly stylish. It is a serious white wine for people who are serious white wine drinkers.
Price: $32.99
2014 Bodegas Re "Recoleccion" Maule Valley (500ml)
Review Date: 09-02-2015
Recoleccion means "harvest" in Spanish, and this is a co-fermented harvest wine, a delicious, bright, crunchy one at that, featuring lots of old vine Cinsault, as well as some younger Pinot Noir and Merlot, all from the family's dry farmed vineyards in the Maule Valley. Pure, tangy, mixed berry and currant fruit flavors show an intriguing balsamic quality as well. This is great stuff, and one of the increasing number of exciting wines representing La Nueva Chile!
Price: $13.99
2013 Borsao "Tres Picos" Garnacha Campo de Borja
Review Date: 09-02-2015
With its juicy red fruits, hints of spice and oak tones, there is a lot to like in this Garnacha, particularly for fans of richer CA Pinot Noir.
Price: $14.99
2010 Marqués de Murrieta Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 08-30-2015
Marques de Murrieta was one of the two oldest, historical bodegas to put Rioja on the map in the mid-19th century (the other one was Marqués de Riscal). It is also an estate wine with fruit coming from various parcels on their property just outside of Logroño. A blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano, this is always one of the very good Reserva Riojas on the market.
Price: $21.99
2010 Hopes Grove "Silver Lining" Syrah Hawke's Bay
Review Date: 08-27-2015
"Hey Manekin, check this out," our resident Kiwi, Australian, South African and English wine buyer called out to me one Saturday, before the store turned into its usual loud, buzzing, frenetic weekend environment. Woodhouse pulled up a site near a limestone quarry on Google Maps and proclaimed, "I'm going to buy this vineyard one day." Turns out that this is very close to where Cypress Terraces planted their Syrah eight years ago. This is extremely high toned, blue and purple fruited Syrah, with terrific fruit purity, less tannic grip than the Syrah grown nearby on gravels, and without much of Syrah's peppery, smoky, animal side. Do not misconstrue that as a lack of complexity, however, since this is so detailed, fresh, and absolutely leaping from the glass. This is a Syrah you need to try.
Price: $39.99
2010 Bodegas Muga "Selección Especial" Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 08-22-2015
I did not think that Muga could top their 2009 Reserva Seleccion Especial, and I'm not sure that they have. However, I do know that they made a wine at least as good, that in time may well turn out to be its equal or even better. In contrast to the 2009, this wine has a bouquet of black cherries, crushed cherry pits - you know that beautiful, intense, sweet-ish almond aroma, and some fine oak, with savory counterpoints of soy glaze and dried, spiced beef. On the palate the blackberry and darker fruit flavors are concentrated yet pure, at the moment rather wound up due to the acidity and tannins. The same as your better 2010 Bordeaux and Brunellos, this will demand some patience, but what a wine will result from this ageing! For anyone who has some 2009, I strongly suggesting continuing the vertical. Anyone with room in their cellar for more red wine should load up on this one; you will be amply rewarded in time.
Price: $34.99
2013 Enderle & Moll "Liaison" Pinot Noir Baden
Review Date: 08-14-2015
While I am far from well versed on the topic, I must admit: I'm generally not a Spatburgunder guy. That said, something about this wine, with its pretty, delicate pale color, fresh and pungent yet delicate and discreet aromas and flavors...this wine has allure for fans of fragrance and finesse!
Price: $32.99
2014 Pichard-Jourdan Chinon Rosé
Review Date: 08-12-2015
Very good Chinon rosé, this is bright and refreshing, yet snappy, slightly green and savory as well. Cab Franc, the pink version!

2014 Heger Pinot Noir Rosé Baden
Review Date: 08-12-2015
This German rosé stood out to me recently, and amongst some tough competition from the Loire Valley! Sticky red fruited aromas are intense and immediately make you take notice. Great flavors and palate presence on this wine. Serious, but fun as well.

2013 Kingston Family Vineyards/K&L Pinot Noir Casablanca Valley
Review Date: 08-05-2015
Bright, juicy, crisply red fruited Pinot Noir such as this, without excessive oak or fruit sweetness to weigh it down, is a rarity at this price, but our friends at Kingston Family Vineyards managed to make it happen for us! The history of this wine is that I visited the winery outside Casablanca, stumbled across a lone, small stainless steel tank, which we were told contained press wine for the folks who work at Kingston. After tasting, I knew that we would have to offer this wine for sale. It's so expressive of Pinot Noir, fun and easy to drink, that I can see why the wine was set aside for employees only! Not to worry, though, I was told that there is a small back-up supply of wine for the workers there..

2009 Lambuena Reserva Ribera del Duero
Review Date: 08-05-2015
A great year for Ribera del Duero, 2009 vintage reds from this region should show rich, generous fruit and balanced acidity, as this Lambuena does. Only the best wines, though, also manage to convey their chalky soil origins and a sense of elegance in this warm, dry vintage. And this is where Lambuena succeeds, managing to be bold and structured, but confident enough to not over do it. This is a great wine for anyone who prefers full bodied reds on the young side, though it's best years are clearly still ahead.
Price: $29.99
2013 Campo Viejo Tempranillo Rioja
Review Date: 08-05-2015
With its plush darker cherry, plum and berry fruits, Campo Viejo retains a similar character in most vintage - it is remarkably consistent. Given this winery's size and reach, the consistency is almost as impressive as the Rioja typicity. For a winery this large, to deliver consistent quality, value and regional typicity is no mean feat. Very solid under $12 Rioja.
Price: $11.99
Can Mayol Loxarel "999" Brut Nature Rosat Penedes
Review Date: 08-05-2015
Little by little, more folks are discovering this gem of a a producer of sparkling Penedes wine (they refuse to label it Cava, since cava can technically come from many places outside of the Penedes region where they are based). This is our go to household pink bubbly. It is unapologetically dry, yet so flavorful, explosive and authoritative on the palate, that it is hard to believe we are dealing with under $15 bubbles here. Tangy red fruits, perhaps a suggestion of hibiscus, combine with a nice bead and pleasing texture to make this such a great sparkling wine for the money. As this is a DI, I have been to the property, seen the care with which these vines are grown and the wine is made, and can only say that all of the Loxarel wines, including this one, have my highest recommendation.
Price: $12.99
2012 Bodegas Castaño "Solanera Viñas Viejas" Yecla
Review Date: 08-05-2015
We have sold boatloads (literally) of this wine, and yet folks still can't get enough of it. I can see why as it's a lot of wine for the money. My review from when we first brougt this in: "I'm getting the sense that, the more I taste of 2012 vintage wines from the Mediterranean portion of Spain, the more there is to like: all the usual intensity in flavors, but with the added bonus of extra freshness and structure. Solanera, for example, is usually a well made wine, with generous dark fruit and a flavor profile that suggests a good value red. In 2012 it is that plus more transparent minerality, a chalky and saline character mark this wine as it would a Bandol, or a Faugeres. While you won't confuse this wine for a Pradeaux, Tempier, or Barral you will pay less than one-third the price, with the added bonus of being able to enjoy it young! Recommended."
Price: $13.99
2013 Bodegas Casa Juan Señor de Lesmos "Cuarteto" Rioja
Review Date: 08-05-2015
Cuarteto is a classic, Alavesa style "maceración carbonica" wine where the whole clusters of grapes are thrown into vats and the CO2 enables an intracellular fermentation. The difference between this wine and its peers (as well as many Beaujolais) is that the fermentation is entirely achieved with native yeasts and the aging occurs in concrete vats. As a result this wine has a fresh and subtly jammy nose, with hints of dried herbs, and a peppery, spicy, cherry fruited palate, with surprising structure. I have yet to taste an unoaked Rioja that even approaches the Cuarteto in quality; the wine is a joy to drink and represents real value.
Price: $9.99
2014 Sharp Zombie Rioja
Review Date: 08-05-2015
Yes, I know, zombies are everywhere and I don't blame yoiu if you think that perhaps this is just a cutesy label taking advantage of a particularly strong zombie trend? That said, this zombie wine is actually very tasty! Composed of primarily Tempranillo grapes and made at Covila's facility, this is dark cherry fruited Tempranillo that is unoaked and delicious. The particularly cool conditions of the 2014 growing season produced fresh, crunchy, joven style Rioja this year. Enjoy this with a slight chill to highlight the freshness of the fruit.
Price: $8.99
2010 Viña Real Crianza Rioja
Review Date: 08-04-2015
Viña Real Crianza for under $12? Si, porfa! This bright, red fruited crianza is a good example of vintage (a very good, fresh one in 2010), house style (fruit forward yet never excessively so) and region (a lot of the fruit still comes from Rioja Alavesa). If you're looking for an inexpensive, classically inspired Rioja to buy in quantity, Viña Real is your wine.
Price: $12.99
2013 Bodegas Puelles Blanco Rioja
Review Date: 07-28-2015
My favorite white wine value in the store, Chus Puelles' white wine is based primarily on Viura grapes, which give the wine a bright, citric and green apple character, as well as a clean, crisp chalky minerality. Most of the fruit in this wine is grown in the village of Abalos, one of the prime Rioja Alta villages. At under $10 it's tough to find a dry white that consistently hits the spot like this one.
Price: $9.99
2011 Bodegas Zugober "Belezos" Rioja
Review Date: 07-24-2015
Produced by Bodegas Zugober, from vineyards in the Rioja Alavesa village of Lapuebla, this 100% Tempranillo-based Rioja is delicious, a great tasting, crisp, and generously fruited wine. Rich red and dark fruits display themselves on the palate, which has some textural heft that is held in check by fresh acidity. This is a red that would be great for parties, particularly amongst people who are more accustomed to California wines.
Price: $19.99
2013 Joan d'Anguera "Altaroses" Montsant
Review Date: 07-24-2015
Joan and Joseph d'Anguera have been making some serious changes at their family owned winery over the past decade or so. Starting with a focus on organic farming (they are now Biodynamic, Demeter certified), the brothers soon reaped the rewards of healthier vineyards and fruit, but felt that they were still looking for brighter, lighter, fresher wines. To achieve this they began picking a bit earlier and including some whole clusters in the fermentation, going for what Joseph calls more an "infusion" rather than extraction, of color and flavor. The result is in this 2013 vintage Garnacha, a beautiful wine with aromas of almonds, peaches, red fruits and rose hips, and such a pure, crisp and fresh palate profile. This is wonderful, honest, incredibly drinkable red from Montsant.
Price: $18.99
2013 Bodegas Chacra Pinot Noir "Cincuenta y Cinco" Rio Negro
Review Date: 07-24-2015
Named for the year in which this Patagonia vineyard was planted, 1955, this is a delicate, nuanced, exciting Pinot Noir. Juicy mixed berry fruits show freshness over a surprisingly light frame, with discreet oak notes adding subtle spice. Unlike most Pinot Noirs made in Chile and Argentina, whole clusters are carefully utilized to add textural nuance and complexity. Allowed some breathing time, this opens up to show even more poise and energy than it does upon first sip. This is undoubtedly one of the top three Pinot Noirs I have yet to taste from Argentina or Chile--a very tasty and convincing rendition of Pinot Noir.
Price: $49.99
2007 Bodegas Lan "Viña Lanciano" Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 07-24-2015
This single vineyard wine, produced by Bodegas Lan in the Rioja Alavesa village of Lanciego, is a phenomenal value. Composed of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Mazuelo, it shows the rich, spicy red fruit characteristics of Rioja as you start heading southeast from Rioja Alta towards the city of Logroño. Also, given the cool, Atlantic climate influenced 2007 vintage, this wine shows loads of freshness and poise. It's great to drink now and should continue to age beautifully for a while.

2008 Miguel Merino "Vitola" Reserva Rioja
Review Date: 07-11-2015
Vitola was well received last year, so much so that we decided to get serious this time around and buy some more. That said, this rich, crowd pleasing Rioja hits so many sweet spots and palate types that I don't see it lasting too long this year either! Spicy cherry confit and mixed berry aromas are 100% classic Rioja Alta chez Miguel Merino. On the palate the wine is similarly dark fruited, densely textured, and yet so fresh and mineral towards the finish, with some red fruits revealing themselves, as well as dried orange peel. This will likely work for you whether you are a Rioja aficionado, Bordeaux fan or California Cab drinker. Great stuff, and so versatile!
Price: $19.99
2014 Ritual Pinot Noir Casablanca Valley
Review Date: 07-11-2015
Another very well made, crowd pleasing effort from Veramonte here with their 2014 Ritual Pinot Noir. Fruit forward on the nose, the palate shows straight ahead Bing cherry and red plum flavors, with very soft tannins and no discernible edges. For fans of some of the fruitier, fuller bodied stuff a la Belle Glos and other Santa Lucia Highlands wines, this bottle should be in your cart, and this wine in your glass!
Price: $17.99
2013 Lambuena Tinto Ribera del Duero
Review Date: 07-10-2015
2013 was a cooler vintage in Ribera del Duero, and it seems to really have played to Lambuena's favor, if this young, very briefly oaked (4 months) red is any indication. Classic brooding, dark fruit aromas lead to a seriously structured, black fruited wine, with an evident gravelly sense of minerality, hints of licorice and solid tannin structure. Compared to last year, it's more serious, with less ripeness and wood spice, more Tempranillo grit and goodness. Hard to believe that there is so much material here for an "introductory" Ribera del Duero wine!
Price: $12.99
2014 Pedro Martinez Alesanco Rosado Rioja
Review Date: 07-10-2015
Mouthwateringly delicious rosé, Martinez Alesanco is an acknowledged master of the Riojan "clarete," style, whereby white wine is added to direct press Garnacha. Bright strawberry aromas lead to a crisp, red fruited palate, one with great attack, and flavors of strawberries, stone fruits and blood oranges. For under $10 this is one of my favorite rosés in the store.
Price: $9.99
2014 Pedro Martinez Alesanco Blanco Rioja
Review Date: 07-10-2015
This is a delicious white Rioja, one that we're very excited to have begun importing last year. 100% Viura grapes, grown in iron rich clay in a particularly cool climate, leads to a white wine full of rich yellow fruit, clean minerality and poise. It's richer than last year, with lots of stuffing but still not an ounce of fat! An excellent unoaked white to have in your stable of fresh white wines.
Price: $9.99
2014 Zudugarai "Amats" Rosé Getariako Txakolina
Review Date: 07-10-2015
We're stoked to have another bottling of rosé from our direct import Txakoli producer, Zudugarai! Produced from 100% Hondarribi Beltza grapes, in the cool, damp climes around Getaria, in Spanish Basque country, this is all bright red fruits, very dry, with a lovely faint herbal quality in the background. Delicious with oysters, grilled or cured fish (especially anchovies), and charcuterie. A delicious and very serious rosé for the money!
Price: $12.99
2014 Zudugarai "Amats" Getariako Txakolina
Review Date: 07-10-2015
Yes, new vintage of Amats Txakoli! 2014 was a second consecutive cool and damp vintage (even by Basque coastal standards!) That said, this is delicious as always, so bright and energetic, a shot of fresh ripe citrus fruits with just a hint of sea salt. So good - especially with oysters!
Price: $12.99
2014 Bodegas Colomé Torrontes Valle Calchaquí Salta
Review Date: 07-09-2015
This is such a textbook representation of Torrontes: kaffir lime rose water and jasmine on the nose lead to a delicious, incredibly dry palate, full of citrus and an appealingly mineral, salty kick. Best Torrontes ever produced at Colomé means this is one of the best Torrontes' produced anywhere. Very good stuff!
Price: $11.99
2013 Tongue In Groove "The Mound Vineyard" Riesling Waipara Valley
Review Date: 07-09-2015
Very interesting Riesling. While the nose seems to suggest something on the dry, maybe even austere side, the palate tells a different story. It's all stone fruit and peach pits, with a richness and lees driven quality that reminds me of some Rheingau Rieslings. Tongue in Groove continues to make some of the best Rieslings in this unique, expressive, German influenced style.
Price: $19.99
2014 TWR (Te Whare Ra) Riesling "M" Marlborough
Review Date: 07-09-2015
Very juicy and playful, with a mouthwatering blend of acidity, fruit, and subtle sweetness, this takes the cake for most balance and gulpable 2014 NZ Riesling. So tasty!

As a devotee of the Church of the FSM, I have read many posts that utilize allusion to the Gospel of the FSM (hallowed be its pages, may it bring pasta upon us forever).
Unlike other religions, especially those without our vast repository of scientific evidence, we have no standardized format for citing His word as revealed to His prophet.
I find this a bit unbecoming of such great religion.
Where other religions may cite holy writs also, the very act of citing them seems to add authority simply because of their citation format.
Citing "(Penguins ?:42)" is much more powerful than saying "page 40 of the Gospel of the FSM states..."
I hereby propose that the first Ecumenical Council of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster should be created to establish a proper standard.

SAN JOSE, CA-The Vermont Shamrocks took the first step forward to their goal of winning a national title with a 4-1 win over the East Coast Wizards in their first game of the USA Hockey Girls U-16 Tier II National Tournament on Wednesday.
It looked like the ECW was (were) going to get the early advantage, but Courtney Peyko stood tall in the VT net, turning away an early penalty-shot.
The Shamrocks, motivated by the stop, won the race to the score board when Molly Dunphy kicked off the scoring late in the first period, clanging home the first goal of the game.
In the second, the Shamrock penalty-kill was put to the test.
They killed off two before Peyko handed over the goaltending reigns to Victoria Gibson mid-way through the second.
Gibson would help kill off the third Wizard PP before the Shamrocks headed off the ice for intermission number two.
Jade Remillard had finally seen enough, and added the Vermont lead with 13 minutes to go in the third.
Rachel Morse, who set up Remillard's tally made it 3-0 for the Green Mountain Girls, and the end seemed near.
However, the Wizards' had one last trick up their sleeve, cutting the score to 3-1 while on the power-play.
It was too little, too late, as Remillard and the green and white would have the final word.
Jade knocked home her second tally of contest, pacing Vermont to a 1-0 record in the standings out in the land of Sharks.
Vermont is back in action against the Lady Ducks on Thursday morning at 10:00 AM EST.
