All Things Wine Archives
I have a bottle of Troon Vineyard Biscuit Fire Reserve 2002 Estate Crown Cabernet Sauvignon, and I was wondering if anyone has any idea of how much it might be worth to date.
I’ve just purchased a HP 2133 Mini-note netbook and it was a bargain price, however, this is partially because it has Suse linux on it as opossed to Windows XP or Vista.
My question is, how difficult is Suse linux to use for a person with no knowledge of Linux what so ever? All I want it for it using the internet, taking notes and maybe watching a film. Do you think it’ll all come ready to go, or will it be quite complicated to set up things like the wifi on Linux?
Also, I would like to run Microsoft Office on it, and I understand that through softwear called "Wine", it is possible to run Office and other Windows software. How complex is this to set up and would it be fairly straightforward for a person without knowledge of Linux?
Thanks
I understand that neither is the ideal place to keep wine, but I live in a house without air-conditioning and with no basement. It is summer and very warm everywhere in my house. Would it be better to keep the bottles of wine I have in the heat or put them in the refrigerator?
I’m looking to have a relaxing tour of a winery/apple orchard this weekend, but I don’t want to drive too far from home here in Chicago. Any suggestions?
I usually offer a tiny cup to people during mass, but I thought that maybe I’d get a better turn out for confession if I started sharing the wine I’ve been drinking to help me stay awake through the whining. What do you think? Would you go confess your sins for a few glasses of merlot, I mean blood?
A friend is traveling in two weeks to Italy and wants to know if it is legal to ship wine home or if she can pack it in her checked luggage. She’s flying Delta. Anyone know?
I live in the Mosel region of Germany and love the local white auslese wines, how do I find a similar taste from red wines?
and the sequoias and redwood forrests too
