All about wine and spirits. Sunday, January 16, 2011. Old Vintages of Barolo or Pour It and They Will Come. There are wines that burn their way into your taste memory and turn rational analysis on its head. Somewhat like the magic of a great work of art, or the heartbreak of an exquisitely performed opera. Try to bear this in mind because we are about to encounter one of those wines. 1978 Mauro Osvaldo Barolo. 1981 Casa Vincola Nino Negri Inferno. 1980 Brunello di Montalcino. Posted by Frank Haddad.

In the glass: Wine and Climate Change or don't sell the ranch

But it looks like we might be making a mistake selling the ranch. I know cattle prices are down and all, but apparently a rock ranch might have some value about now. There was some big study done on Climate Change. And the BC government is thinking BC can grow grapes. Somewhere besides the Okanagan. Sure beats a couple of grand for grazing land.
