Taste 2007
Flichman Vineyards
I recently had a chance to attend a wine tasting for Flichman from Argentina. I especially enjoyed the experience because I had a chance to chat with the winemaker, Luis Cabral de Almeida. From my standpoint, it didn't hurt that he was pretty hot also.
We began with a bottle of their Chardonnay for $8. Frankly I didn't want to taste a bottle of $8 Chardonnay as I hate that overly oaked buttery flavor of vanilla predominating, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was delightful and easily equal to wines I have enjoyed at twice the price. In fact every one of the wines' price points was spectacular. Although there were some I preferred more than others, I enjoyed all of them. All the others, with the exception of an interesting and delightful champagne (for about $8!!) all the rest were red. In fact, even the champagne was made in part from Malbec also!

You Give Some Complicated Kisses
"When passion takes a grip, a kiss locks two humans together in an exchange of scents, tastes, textures, secrets and emotions. We kiss furtively, lasciviously, gently, shyly, hungrily and exuberantly. We kiss in broad daylight and in the dead of night.The Contradictions between the Creationist Movements
Source: Scientific American magazine The Contradictions between the Creationist Movements A skeptic engages three types of creationists who claim science supports their beliefs, yet they contradict one another By Michael Shermer April 28, 2009 During the tsunami of bicentennial celebrations of Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday in February, I visited the fringes of evolutionary skepticism to better understand how one of science’s grandest theories could still be doubted. Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol, England, is run by a kindly gentleman named Anthony Bush, who insisted that I not confuse him with those “loony American creationists” who think that Earth is only 6,000 years old. “How old do you think it is?” I queried.CHAPTER 95

I did not count on it anymore – too many days had passed; i.e. more than a month.
