Liquid Memory: Why Wine Matters: A Review
I was reading the NY Times' book reviews and I came across an interesting review on the book, Liquid Memory: Why Wine Matters by Jonathan Nossiter. (262 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux $26) As background, I would hope that every serious wine drinker has seen Modovino by this time, a movie ostensibly about the world wine trade. if nothing else it is fascinating. I will admit here and now that I am no fan of Robert Parker nor of that other popular wine magazine which seems like it is at every checkout counter. however I dislike them for different reasons. Parker, at very least, knows something about wine, but his mere favorable mention of a given wine has been known to send it soaring. There are many popular examples. The other magazine, which shall go unmentioned, has attempted to manipulate wine drinkers into various drining habits. Not without its merits, especially in areas of travel articles, there is a common joke in the wine trade that when a wine is panned in the magazine, it is said that the winery probably forgot to pay its bill. In any case, I thought this review was a pretty good one, of not only the book but the way in which we find the wine world today, so I am posting it here. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.How to pop the question: Will you be my bridesmaid?

In honor of Reading Is Sexy's grand opening, I'm going to start off with the series that's has been holding me in a chockhold for going on 10 years now.
Nora Roberts, writing as JD Robb in her not so far distant future has captured my attention since my very good friend lend me a copy of the 1st of the series, Naked In Death. That copy started me on my 10 year journey of hunting and gathering mission to find and read every one of the books in the series.
Help! my relationship is lose lose....
I have been dating this guy, who i am absoutely in love with, for almost 2 years. He started out wonderful, talking for hours, texting cute things now and again, being respectful and loving all the time...etc. it was wonderful. Now I feel like we can barely have a conversation without fighting. We have sex, are happy for about 20 minutes and then get mad at each other again. he lives with me now, because he told his family he had a job so he has to play the part by not being in his house (his brother lives with him). He drinks all the time, leaves messes and expects me to keep it all clean. He rarely does anything he says he will, from taking out the trash to coming through with plans for dinner. He says things just to say them, regardless if i am counting on him for it. He won't even help pay our bills because he has better things to do with his money.Town on SF Bay wants to photograph every car
