movies & wine

A good wine from the lambrusco area: by REggiano, Le Grotte- a soft red, very nice from the lambrusco grape variety. emilia romanga , its really sweet with a spirit taste(bubbly). cheap too, i dont buy wines over $10. not practical, and not worth it. i dont care if your a connoisseur because i have been drinking wines for the past two years, and buy nearly 10 bottles every three weeks. ive cut that down, but i still had bought about 3 every 2 weeks or less, they were all racked up at a friends. ironic, how some people never buy wine nor drink it, but like the look of it. anyways, this is a good for the price . i also tried an excellent argentian wine la glamour, very nice taste. the ganacha grape from spain has a different, way different taste very strong, velvety color , more deep than the others so it takes a little getting used to. really, most people dont know shit about wine. these so called experts are not really viticulturists or something. what makes wine good, is the region its from, and type of grapes used, and thats about it really. region & grape is what makes all the difference, particularly where- because thats what influences taste, the soil of the climate hemisphere, etc. the year, is the last thing, because how the hell are you supposed to know a good year? yeah if i look up an almanac. i buy based on country,grape, & region, nothing else. im buying under 10 bucks, so year is the last thing, i'll look, but not really, because i dont store wines. waste of time and money. unless you got big bucks, and like to show off. because these guys keep a cellar, until that fire hits (hear about that guy?- had to choose from his 900 bottles), damn waste if you ask me. its nice to have some greek, some georgian wines(i heard they are really nice), and some exotic ones. but id rather keep an electric thermosat cooler for around 200 bucks that stores 9 wines; plenty to chose from for a group of 4 for a late night binge. lets see, other wines & grapes- temperanillo, excellent. i ordinarily do not get california wines, although they are reputed to be as good as the european counterparts from spain, italy & france, why? because they cost like 3x as much. the chilean wines and argentian flavors i find are the best tasting in the world. especially from chile, the root- which is a unique one to say the least, is the most different tasting wine in the world ive had. yes, some bottles of Moet , and other high grades are supposed to be amazing, from the champagne region, but those fetch 100 or more. yeah you can a 30$ of really nice pinot noir from the central valley, or all over california, but for those prices, no thanks , ill stick with the exported ones, although they are cheaper in quality and price, its not much of a quality difference, and frankly those hispanics know what they are doing still... the soil is clean, the tierra is fresh, and the air free from all those damn pseduo-chemicals the US is blistered with. Although california is the best place for wines & yoga..im still against local guys who want to charge me , for $30 a pop. yeah right stick that back ahem...near your wifes portus and drink. i am going to chill with a nice sud american red.

o h a fantastic movie, yet again from brazil. the year my parents went on vacation, slow, playing, these foreign films are simply ...what is the word. just great. the art, the people, actors, are so more fulfilling the damn american cinemas, not say the same for indian cinema to.
