YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
Thursday February 9, 2012
My friend Rolf alerted me to a website yesterday with Twitter-like reviews of wines. Best I can tell, the writer has a good palate, but the main reason to go is his/her wit.
The motto is "one-line wine reviews -- sans wankery."
Wish I'd written a line like this one, re. the Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc: "It might say 'Ferrari,' but it tastes 'Camry.' "
Check it out here.

- Coldest Day of February (drought lingers, brushfire risk increases)
- Brief Late Week Cold Snap (since Dec. 1: warmest winter since 1878)
- "A Useless Winter" (4th warmest January on record, but why?)
- Data center construction strong
- "Bottoming Out" (Jan. 12 is coldest day of winter...not hard to believe today)
- Denver Blizzard (Marchlike and virtually snow-free here into mid February)
