TAR: I was so happy! And you're right Jessica -- any of the three winning would have pleased me. But I loved that they went to Japan!!!

Top Chef: I guess they decided that forgetting one order was worse than being mediocre with all three challenges? I was surprised that Tiffani did so poorly because she has been doing well with the Quickfire challenges all season.

Oh, BTW, in TAR - what was the thing that they teams had to carry in Maiden. I can't remember what it's called for the life of me.

Thanks!

In Somona at a vineyard tasting, I had a wine dude tell me all about "the big bell pepper on the nose." mr. flea and I cracked up for days. I'm sorry, I do not want my red wine to even allude to a bell pepper. Much less on my nose.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

"Fruity" flavors are just indicators of slight sweetness in some way. "It has a lot of fruit" = little sweet. "Oaky" - drier, not sweet, slight woody astringency. "Buttery" - doesn't mean tastes like butter but a smooth mouthfeel. It's all code!

I see. Although I think the yellowtail merlot really does taste like cherries. And I would not want a big bell pepper on my nose either!

I have a big bell pepper on my nose right now. AIFG!

Oh, like you weren't expecting it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

One of my favorite wine blogs linked to a story of the history of the Yellow Tail company a while back, and it pleased me no end to find out that the best-selling wine in North America got that way just by tasting good.

So, nobody watched ALIAS? I enjoyed it, but I don't really have anything in the way of comment on it.

No wait, loved Spydaddy's grumpy enjoyment that "Apparently, I'm amusing".

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That joke was just nast. I can't imagine why they gave it so much build-up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Fruity" flavors are just indicators of slight sweetness in some way.

I find a lot of the time, if you just smell the wine, you can really see what they're saying (I had something the other day that really did smell like apricots, like the menu said), but drinking it, you don't notice so much.

Today, I need to: go to the post office, have a phone interview, pick up my parents at their hotel, and go to my school's graduation. (!!!!!)
