Guigal

E. Guigal, 2007, Côtes du Rhône (red), France

Soft tannins, fairly light in acidity. Aftertaste doesn't linger around much. Doesn't pack a whole lot of punch but is very smooth and easy to drink. Also a great value at around $12 a bottle.
50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre.

8/10

Would Rather

I would rather trade all my Canon gear for Nikon gear than own another Apple product. I hate my iPod Touch so much.

Rosenblum Zinfandel

Rosenblum Zinfandel, 2007, Paso Robles, CA.

Dark, juicy, fruity. Typical big, bold Zinfandel. I don't eat many berries so I can't say for sure, but blackberries and raspberries?
A bit of tannin on the finish but not a whole lot. Very little acidity and sort of sweet. I prefer a little more dryness.

Hoarder

Not Cool.
Firefox 4 is somewhat better than 3.6, but they still haven't fixed how it completely fails to release memory.

Big Kahuna

Fresh and Easy Big Kahuna Cabernet Sauvignon/Shiraz, no vintage, "Southeast" Australia.

Purchased at local Fresh and Easy for $1.99... For the price I prefer Trader Joe's Charles Shaw Cabernet. The Big Kahuna is rather fruity, too fruity actually. More like strawberry/grape juice than wine, to be honest. Not to my tastes.

2/10

Bila-Haut

Michel Chapoutier Domaine de Bila-Haut, 2008, Côtes de Roussillon Villages, France

Lots of tannin, matches well with spicy foods (tried this with tortilla chips and hot salsa).

Oops

I obviously did NOT mean to play REPLETE without crossing over a DW square.



However, it turns out my opponent is not so bright either:

In related news, how do I know the Words for Friend app for Android is terrible? It's easier to play by tethering my iPod to my Droid.
