Cable News Sucks

Why can't people, especially overpaid college educated talking heads learn to argue without constantly devolving into streams of logical fallacies? It's an ad hominem followed by a false analogy, all wrapped into a straw man. And it's not just cable news, politicians all the way to the top spew this crap. ("Some say...")

Aarrghhh!

St. James Winery 2005 Norton

Another St. James Norton, this one is much better than the St. James Cynthiana and doesn't have the overpowering muskiness. My taste buds are acclimating to Norton. It's no longer the unfamiliar flavor that it was on first taste, and I'm getting to like it. Having decided that Norton likes air, I ran this through a Vinturi and it made a big difference. However, unlike the Cross J, this one seems to have peaked after being open for one day and wasn't quite as nice the third day. It's a big wine and was an easy move from the '04 Bordeaux we had with dinner. Aged 18 months in unspecified oak, $10, 14.9% ABV. Good value for a ten buck bottle.
