Writing and wine: “Finding the right words to describe the way a wine tastes is the same as trying to find the right words to describe a moment, a look or a feeling when writing.” - M. Robertson - Author of "Mask Among The Bones"

The White River Killer
A friend of mine, Stephen Wilson, has written a great mystery titled The White River Killer. Stephen's book moves at a quick pace and the characters come with that true southern flavor that often goes missing in many such attempts. White lightning, ghosts, questionable cops and a dead body with some history. All of this, plus an added sprinkle of romance, are carefully stirred into the makings of a fine story. Very enjoyable. Looking forward to his next book already. Give it a read for good entertainment.

Angove Special Blend Recipe 2012 Red Blend
Angove Special Blend Recipe 2012 Red Blend
This 2012 Red Blend is from South
Australia. It is a blend 50% Shiraz, 30% Grenache, and 20% Petit Verdot. The
red blend, “The Recipe”, is a modern take on Dr. Angove’s original red wines
and features a rich nose of tart, dark berries with a hint of spice, leather
and oak. Dark, rich, tart blue & red berry flavors on the palate. Has a
nice aftertaste that lingers. A nice round balance of flavor, it's medium-bodied
with a rich full finish that would go
great with red meats, red pastas or meaty stews.

Winter weather
Good morning;
Sorry for the lack of postings. The weather has been so bad that I haven't been near a wine dispensary in over a month. My friends and I have been forced to enjoy the old reliables and forgo experimentation. So much for the sunny (and warm) South. I am truly looking forward to Spring and all that it brings.
