Recently I saw the Avengers Infinity War movie. It was so much fun, mostly because rather than focus on any character too much it balanced a great ensemble cast. And there was a great balance between so many emotions, with humor, rage, and sadness all mingling together. So I decided to ask the age-old question,
Locations by David Phinney “E”
So Netflix made a smart move and released a re-cut Season 4 of Arrested Development. The show is genius, but they pretty much botched Season 4 originally (in my opinion). I’m halfway through the re-cut though, and they really redeemed themselves so far. It’s actually made me excited for the upcoming 5th season. Sticking with
Quinta De Cabriz Dão 2014
So I just saw Deadpool 2, it was solid. Probably better than the first, and what I especially liked is the trailers didn’t spoil any of the awesome surprises. I feel like the movie was time and money well-spent, which inspired me to review a value wine next. I picked the Quinta De Cabriz Dão 2014,
Eberle Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
So occasionally, nerds go out in the world and get some sunlight. I did this with my wife in 2014 for our honeymoon to Paso Robles. It was an awesome trip, they make some really great wines there. One of the places we visited was Eberle, which has a really cool tasting room and vineyard
Le Grand Noir Black Sheep Pinot Noir 2015
I grew up a weirdo. I wore sweatpants till 6th grade. I skipped lunch to hang out in the band room. I was truly a black sheep. Tonight when the wild streak hit again, I decided to try something a little different. A little weird. So I grabbed this French Pinot Noir that claims to
Jean-Paul Thevenet Morgon 2012
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
The Crusher Petite Sirah 2014
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
Renato Ratti 2014 Nebbiolo and 2013 Barbera
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
Piandaccoli Cosmus Chianti Reserva 2011
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
Montes Classic Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2014
The X-Files is back with a new season! Scully seems to have aged well but Mulder is kind of showing it. I’ve watched 2 episodes so far and it’s been pretty good, and dark. Dark like the mystical nectar of fermented Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. You see what I did with that sweet transition? Tonight I
