Sfida Puglia Rosso 2006 - yummy pizza wine

This wine was recommended to me as specifically a "pizza wine"... i.e. you must eat with pizza. So, I picked up a pepperoni from Papa Murphy's (which I love with any wine) and I LOVED THIS WINE with my pizza. I'm not one for "pairing" "wine" with "food" ... love all the quotes?... but seriously you've gotta try it with this one.

So, LOVED IT. With pizza.

Found it at Sheridan's Finest Wines & Generous Spirits at the Milwaukee Public Market for $9.99

Jesus Jones Liquidizer

Best album by Jesus Jones... even if I only listen to the first 5 songs.

P.S. Don't everyone be so surprised I haven't posted any dave yet. Seriously. Man.

chateau coucy - love it everyday

Chateau Coucy - Maureze - 2001
Montagne Saint-Emilion
Bourdeaux

Anyone who knows me probably knows that if the bottle says "St-Emilion" on the label, I will probably say I love it. Even before I try it. Same goes with this one.

Found it at Trader Joe's at Bayshore for $14.99

Vina Robles - fulfills the role

Hmmm... so I have a hard time LOVING any wine that is not red. I think I just have limited experience with white wines ... and roses are always at random times when really all I want to do is smoke a cigarette and act like I'm really cool. Which doesn't really happen all too often.

I got this Rose (ROSE - NOT WHITE ZINFANDEL) to go with my crab cakes and it was perfect.

Plus, it's from Paso Robles, which probably makes me a little (or a lot) biased.

Seghesio Sonoma Zinfandel - sucked

... okay so it sucked, but I feel like I should give it another shot considering it seems to get good reviews.

Ernie, it really tastes like that one that you liked from Vinum Populi - that I hated and you loved. So it just might be that it's not my thing. In other words - - buy! buy!

Found it at Sheridan's Finest Wines & Generous Spirits at the Milwaukee Public Market for $21.99

BTW, this happens to be the most expensive wine I bought on this trip (by $1 whole dollar) - and I hated it! That might just go to show that I have no taste. But I know what I like.... I think.

P.S. My bottle label looks like this one ... with the red wine drippings (that's the technical term - "drippings")

le holga, c'est bon

ernie, this is for you. i put the holga to work! do you like? it's on the homepage of shopdetour.com right now. i had to have jason take a picture at the same with my nikon d80 ... to use as a pretty expensive flash. but it worked. we employed a very elaborate system of counting off (1-2-3) to try to synchronize our shots so that the nikon flash would go off for the holga picture. ha. anyway. i need a hot shoe. is that what i need? is it like the shoe phone?

Altos de Luzón - loved it.

50% Monastrell Old Vines, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Tempranillo

PS I guess I'm really loving Monastrell / Mourvedre that's the same thing right? Like Syrah / Shiraz?

made me want to drink the whole bottle in one sitting. [contrary to popular belief, not all bottles of wine have this effect on me].

white on blonde

best. album. ever.

white on blonde by texas.

don't pop it in your car or about your daily monotony. get to know it while traveling or experiencing something new in your life.

oh, and make sure elle's toddler CD doesn't come on after it and ruin your moment.
