5 In a newly-released interview with Rap RadarÂ’s Elliott Wilson, rapper Jay-Z fired back at Harry Belafonte over BelafonteÂ’s criticism that he, among other artists, had Â“turned [his] back on social responsibility.Â” Jay-Z responded, Â“IÂ’m offended by that because first of all, and this is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like ObamaÂ’s is. Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, the hope that he provides for a nation, and outside of America is enough.Â”

Exactly, the sneeze wine!

By they way, my pediatric dentist growing up was quite often drunk. Nice man, but seriously, 8am is a little early to be drinking. At least he smelled better than my parent's dentist, who was Greek and insisted on eating as much garlic as he could before 8am. By noon it was coming out every pore. You always wanted the morning appointments because at least the garlic was still fresh...

110 >>97 Is Malbac (sp?) a dry or sweet type wine? This one was somewhat "jammy." Pretty deep fruit (not sweet though) compared to the pinot noirs I've had. It went very well with my (pretty rich) tomato sauce.

111 Is Malbac (sp?) a dry or sweet type wine? I am looking to expand my wine repertoire. I like Pinot Grigio and the one that sounds like a sneeze. Two of my favorite wines are blends though, Conundrum and Lucky Evolution. I am also really enjoying the Middle Sister series of wines. Their labels and catch phrases are what drew me to them--plus they are cheap at Target. Posted by: ParanoidGirlInSeattle at July 29, 2013 09:09 PM (RZ8pf) It's a red. Tends to have both fruit and a bit of spice. It's definitely not sweet. I've paired it with everything from peanut butter cups (and Buckeyes!) to steak. You can get whites from Argentina, but they're harder to find. If you want to try another red, you may want to give Grenache a shot. The SO's dad is a Pinot Grigio drinker but I let him try Grenache and he loved it.

@97 Do you like sweet or dry. If the latter, stay away from German whites, especially anything with a variant of the word "lese," i.e. Spaetlese, Auslese, etc. Too sweet for me. French Cabernets, Medocs and Pinot Noirs from Bordeaux really kick tail for dry reds and you can find them for less than 20 bucks a bottle usually, at least here in Flyover Country.

It's dry, dark in color, tends to be a little stronger in flavor than average, but there are varieties from around the world that are quite different. It's closer to Merlot of Cab than anything else, it's sometimes used in blends.

Peaches, I think re-gifting wine is OK especially if you know the person you are giving it to will enjoy it. As long as it doesn't have your name scrawled across it or anything they probably wouldn't know.

I get kind of frustrated sometimes because people bring me Trader Joe's table wine and present it to me like they have done me some favor. Ummm, no, you haven't done me a favor, cheap red wine gives me the devil's own headache. However, like the snob I am, the more expensive the red, the less likely it is to make my head hurt.

...so among everything else, I have awesome taste buds.

I went to a winery in Door County last week, since Fruend had noticed we go to a lot of wine-producing areas but never actually drink wine. After tasting all the ones made with grapes trucked in from other states, we settled on a bottle of the local cherry wine, which tasted like juice. And then we never managed to pour it into plastic glasses and take it down to the hot tub (where I was extremely unconcerned about how I looked in my bathing suit, lol) because while we had three church keys between the two of us, neither of us had a corkscrew. Usually the wine in my fridge doesn't need one.

Here's betting to the fact that the "2016: War on Women" will leave out the facts about Anthony Weiner and Bob Filner or else they will idolize them. And I bet the Republicans won't even mention those two when they are getting pounced by tampons.

204 Well, agreed you don't have to spend a ton of money to get a good red wine. It's just I am still annoyed with the person who came over to my house and gave me the Trader Joes wine like it was a bottle of Chateau La Tour or something.

by the way, I have gotten Trader Joes wine from moron horde folks before, but they didn't act like they were gifting me with a black Amex card when they gave it to me. It was more of a "hey, here's a good cheap wine, give it a try" sort of thing. Which is reasonable.

226 I'm so embarrassed . . . I stopped at TJ's on the way to Mr {ampersand} Mrs BFF's house last weekend and got Mrs BFF a red wine.

Cat tastes like cat piss smells. Guinea pigs on the other hand are pretty good.

If you act now you can get in on the ground floor with a franchise for Peruvia Fried Guinea Pig. We're still trying to come up with a logo.
