After the Falls

Facinating book.  Very quick read.  Great story about how to transform your life as the environement around you changes.

The DUDE

Well I finally watched The Big Lebowski.  What a hilarious movie!  The Coen Brothers Rock !  It all makes sense now...lol 

recent movies

Really liked the King's Speech and the Joan Rivers documentary.  Just saw Sunshine Cleaning.  Which starts out funny with so much potential.  Then about half way through, it turned into depressing psychological analysis.  Ugh!  Loved Little Miss Sunshine, by the same director.  Also liked The Other Guys, very funny movie with Will Ferrel and Mark Wahlberg.  Also amazing was Mao's Last Dancer!!! OMG that was a movie; Love, loss, drama, determination, China, beautiful ballet dancing....

My favorite movie is Fanny and Alexander.  It is an obscure Swedish film by Ingmar Bergman.  Well obscure to most people anyway.  I love this movie because it shows a family that loves to be together.  There is a struggle between good and evil characters, ghosts, beautiful costumes. 

NxNW

I received a bottle of NxNW Cabernet Sauvignon as a holiday gift.  Drink it with a girl friend last night with her homemade fish soup and tapioca pudding!  Yum !  Well this wine is amazing.  Lots of flavors and layers of flavor.  Can't say enough thanks !

Wine from Oregon

Two Pinot Noir wines from Oregon are fantastic!  They are in the $15-20 range.  They are well worth the price and make a nice hostess gift.   They are A-Z Pinot Noir and Argyle Pinot Noir.  The Argyle Sparkling Wine (Champagne) is also amazing.  I know, I know....Sparkling Wine from Oregon ??? Are you crazy??? Just try it ... you won't be sorry. 

Escudo Rojo

BARON PHILIPPE DE ROTHSCHILD MAIPO CHILE

CHILE RED

 

This is my new favorite everyday red wine.

It is reasonably priced at $10 - 13 per bottle.

It is smooth, drinkable, nice finish.

Hello and Happy New Year !

The purpose of my Blog is to record experiences and opinions of products that interest me.  My favorite things are books, movies, art, travel, sex, fashion, wine, friends, golf, and the beach.  Not necessarily in that order, and it changes from day to day, of course. 

This is my first blog and I guess it will develop and change, such as life.
