... be attending the alcoholic version I've hereby dubbed The Moronic Convergence. Playmate Dave is in town ... Last week, as I was bare-assedly soaking away life , I picked up a copy of the Harbin newsletter thing and read an article about the 20th anniversary of the Harmonic Convergence. Ah, sweet, naive yesteryear. Astoundingly enough, it took place in 1987. And what's even scarier is that I remember...

So, much like the 1987 Harmonic Convergence, nothing too earth-shattering happened last night at our Shango summit. I did, however, get to meet Playmate Dave's formerly New-Orleans-based daughter (you all have good genes, my dear), I got to fantasty-plan a spa day with Marla (no, really - we do deserve it!), and I got to chat a bit more with Adam of VOS . I met Adam last year at Premier when he...

Convergence Vineyards is located in Plymouth California, outside of Lodi in the Amador Valley named for the three rivers that converge on the property. Its an 8 year old working winery that focuses on Rhone varietals...

Appellation America's founder has left the on-line publication. And it doesn't really matter why.  What matters is that the North American wine industry's most committed and dedicated voice for wine diversity in this hemisphere will no longer set the tone for the only substantial publishing vehicle dedicated to wine diversity ...

Another Moronic Convergence set for our place tonight: tonight's showdown is Monastrell/Mourvedre. So far, I think we have to Spanish, two Californian, and one French. Highly anticipated results to follow...

Right, there is SOME wine-related news... We're having a Jon-David tasting at Per Se next week, which means I'll be in NYC for part of the week, which means The Bloke's flying down to join me which means we're eating at The Natural Gourmet on Friday which means that we'll ...

Once in a while, a wine idea comes along that's so mind-bendingly inspired, so of the moment, so subtly brilliant...unfortunately, SexySommeliers ain't one of them. I don't know what it is: Crass? Bizarre? Moronic? Creepy? Hilarious? Take...

... mondosapore My twitter handle. You can send your most fleeting and moronic thoughts to me, and I will reciprocate! I feel even sillier than when I did the facebook thing. Like FB, I'm betting the twitter phenomenon will blow over. Do you? Now that I think of it, just send me emails. I get them everywhere on my blessed Blackberry and I tend to check them and reply obsessively. And it doesn't cost...

Aside from the endless, vapid, Foxnews-driven moronic assholish presidential campaign. (Uh-oh. There goes next year's wine blog awards thingie. Oh well.) Lessee...there's more to be depressed about. Coldplay is on the Daily Show. They aren't funny. Sorry, they are pretty shitty. Pret-ty shit-ty, as Larry David would say. Why are they there? Coldplay! Delightfully mediocre. The Pinot Grigio...
