The Gates of Memphis: August 2006
http://gatesofmemphis.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 28, 2006. Last Sunday's Commercial Appeal reported on the efforts by Medical Center stakeholders. Pursuing a medical center zoning overlay that promotes pedestrian-friendly development, restricts planned developments, encourages more mixed-use projects and supports the $1.1 billion in private investment planned or under way in the area. There appears to be opposition from some developers to this plan:. It starts to dictate the footprint of your building," Dyer said. That's the idea, suppor...

Wineography: July 2007
http://wineography.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 22, 2007. Fifty lashes with a wet noodle. I've been not only a terrible wineblogger lately, but also a terrible wine-drinker. Oh, I've been drinking wine off and on these past few weeks, but I've not paid much attention to what I was quaffing. This is an injustice I will work to correct this week. Tonight I cracked open the medium dry Riesling, hoping like hell it wouldn't be like the dismal Louis Guntrum dry Riesling experience. Posted by theogeo at 12:18 AM. Thursday, July 05, 2007.

Wineography: November 2007
http://wineography.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 25, 2007. Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé. Man, I haven't posted a wine tasting on this blog in forever. I suck! My apologies to any remaining readers or curious scragglers. I've just been pumping my time and attention into other things. Like video games and dreams about world leaders. There is something almost like cheap candy or licorice in the taste of this wine. It's hard to put my finger on it. It's a quaffable wine, for sure, but not something I'm terribly crazy about.

Wineography: September 2006

Saturday, September 30, 2006. The Hazards of Grape Stomping, Vol. I. For sending me the link to this video and reminding us all of the sacrifices made to bring wine into the world. Truly inspirational. I feel so bad for this woman. The noises she makes after falling are just heartbreaking. Yet, I can't stop laughing. Fate, why hast thou equipped me with such a foul, black heart? Posted by theogeo at 11:46 AM. Wednesday, September 27, 2006. With Rex Goliath 2004 Pinot Noir. Posted by theogeo at 1:50 AM.

Wineography: December 2006
http://wineography.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 30, 2006. For Christmas, Ashley gave me a bottle of Old Millington Winery. S Crying Angel red table wine. I cracked it open a couple of days ago and have been quite impressed with it since. Quite a contrast when you consider the label design.). This wine won a silver medal in the Cynthiana category at the 2004 Wines of the South Competition, and I can't see a reason why such an award wasn't deserved. An all-purpose, locally grown wine. Fabulous. Posted by theogeo at 2:08 AM. Tuesday I ...

Wineography: August 2006

Sunday, August 27, 2006. Every blog has a first post. So I thought I'd start a blog and write about wine, and sort of keep a catalog. It probably won't be interesting to anyone but me. Tonight I had a glass of $6.50 Ravenswood Cabernet at a restaurant. It was fabulous; I think I've had a bottle of that before and I'd forgotten how good it was. Dry, a little spicy, rich especially the aftertaste. Is there a technical term for the aftertaste? Posted by theogeo at 11:32 PM. Theology&Geometry, my other blog.

Wineography: March 2007
http://wineography.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 30, 2007. Facing My Fears: Vol. 2. The second installment in the Facing My Fears series is that grassy old coot sauvignon blanc. The first sauv blanc I had was from New Zealand, and boy did it taste like a mouthful of weeds. And then I felt like a cow chewing cud when I took a sip. I'm not sure that I even finished that bottle. I may have poured it out shocking, I know! To be fair, it's a blend 80 percent sauvignon blanc and 20 percent semillon. Labels: facing my fears. Of wining, I've deve...

Wineography: February 2007
http://wineography.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 28, 2007. The Nashville City Paper has an interesting column up. The author's main complaint is that the vast majority of wines on the market particularly the budget wines would do well to consider entering the screw-top world instead of hanging on stubbornly to the notion that serious wines have corks. I couldn't agree more. I've had bad cork experiences only a few times, but each time, it's profoundly annoying. Posted by theogeo at 12:14 AM. Sunday, February 25, 2007. The nose on Bi...

Wineography: October 2006
http://wineography.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 27, 2006. I'm on a mini-quest (one of those quests that you go on when you get around to thinkin' about it) to try more Rieslings, and this week's attempt has not proven disappointing. From the famed Mosel-Saar-Ruwer region of Germany, is a crisp, fruity wine that's sort of got the attitude of something carbonated. That is, it jumps around on the tongue just a little, and feels a little bubbly. A solid screw-top white if ever there was one. Posted by theogeo at 1:35 AM. A small outfit abo...
