I was surfing Netflix and realized there were 2 Sharknado movies I haven’t seen yet! So I decided to binge the 4th and 5th installment of the masterpiece series. I also opened a bottle of 2012 Morgon Beaujolais I’ve been holding onto for such an occasion. This wine is made by Jean-Paul Thevenet and imported
There is a ridiculous episode of Star Trek TNG where Data tries to learn comedy. He starts out by imitating a really dumb slapstick routine. Think old-timey pie in the face comedy, terrible puns and all. Just over the top. I’m pairing that episode with The Crusher Petite Sirah 2014 from The Central Valley of
I had a long grueling day of programming at work and on the way home decided to have some fun. Going down the wine aisle, I was on a quest for the best label. Buying based on the cool label can be dangerous, because there are always wineries that spend too much on the label
Sometimes I have to take a break from nerd hobbies and spend time with my wife. We all make sacrifices. For date night I found a cool recipe for Lasagna Bolognese. The recipe is intense, I’ve never made my own lasagna from scratch before. But after several hours in the kitchen (I skipped the overnight part) I

There is an episode of Star Trek TNG where Data reads a poem about his cat, Ode to Spot. I watched it as a kid but had completely forgotten about it till last night. The episode came on and when Data began reading his poetry it really brought me back. The first line: Felis Cattus,
So I’ve had a couple wines lately from the Beaujolais region in France and wanted to talk about the region itself. Beaujolais sits at the south end of Burgundy, north of the Rhone Valley. The region is primarily known for producing red wines from the Gamay grape, which is thin skinned with low tannin and high
I’m taking a break from Star Trek TNG for a little bit to work on a Ham Radio side project. While I fiddle with my new transceiver to see how far I can talk over the air, I decided to try another Beaujolais-Villages, this one the Louis Jadot 2014. If you’ve been to the French
So I’m still on my Star Trek TNG kick, just got into season 2. Big changes for the crew of the enterprise, most important of which is Commander Riker grew a pretty solid beard. To celebrate his impressive feat, I decided to jump into a nice hearty red wine fitting of his accolades. I picked
I was re-watching Star Trek TNG from the beginning (thanks Netflix!) and I wanted a bright, fun red wine to go along with the cheesy first season special effects. I decided to pick up a bottle of Jean Foillard’s Beaujolais-Villages 2016. The Beaujolais region of France sits at the south end of Burgundy and is
