Great wines..
One of the nice features of the digital age is that we can modify our selection of TV channels anytime right through the TV. As we are getting a new business of the ground - talking about our bookstore/Internet/Cafe Zeeba Books of course - I needed a little inspirition, a glimpse of the finer things we may someday enjoy in return for the sacrifices we are making now. So I subscribed to a new channel called Fine Living. It is chalk full of shows like the Thirsty Traveler visiting Tequila, Mexico etc. and The Genuine Article showing some of the finest products around. Tonight I watched a great show called Fine Wine with Andrea Immer. If this is on in your area you should check it out.
I'm hoping Andrea won't mind me letting you know two of her picks for great inexpensive(relatively) wines; especialy since I'm strongly suggesting that you watch her show.
I won't try to describe the wines as I'm rather new at this....
Mondavi - Fume Blanc any recent year, this is a nice barrel aged white.

If you try these out or have any comments let me know..

I suppose everyone thinks that their Blog will inform/educate and entertain the masses..I hold no such hope. I'll be using this as an exercise in writing, giving people an occaisional glimpse of both life behind the counter of a little Bookshop-Internet-Cafe and things that I happen across on the web or elsewhere that are worthy of sharing. We'll start the whole thing off with a nod of the hat to one of Montreal's finest software developpers Mina Naguib. Mina has set us up as a free Hot Spot via a non-profit group called Ile Sans Fil as well as plying us with books, food and friendship. I had created a blog a few months ago but lost interest. Mina sent me a link to Marshall Brain's blog yesterday. I really enjoyed it and found it rekindled my own interest in writing. So here we are...hope you enjoy the snippets of info, humor and more to be found regularly at Zeeba Ville.
