Gloria Ferrer Pinot Noir

Gloria Ferrer Pinot Noir, 2006, Carneros, CA

Rusty burgundy in color (appropriately so, it's a Pinot Noir after all) but color is not very deep. Cherry and oak on the nose, light mouthfeel, lingering sweetness after the initial bite of the acidity. Not much along the lines of tannins. A lighter overall than I like. Good, but not great.

6/10

Sterling Cabernet Sauvignon

Sterling Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, 2007, Napa Valley, CA

 Rich berry flavor but without being too sweet, and a hint of forestry. Soft mouthfeel, and went along very well with the intense flavors of the meat at a Brazilian steakhouse.

The Forefront of Innovation

iOS 5 is going to have pull-down notifications and OTA upgrades? Looks like Apple is finally catching up to Android 1.0. Welcome to 2008!

Furthermore, they've invented this amazing thing called iMessage which allows people to... Talk to each other over the internet. Naturally, the whole world is fanatically excited over this groundbreaking technology. I think it should be known as "instant messaging."

What, no Flash?
