How was this? I've found these Selects to be good "bang for the buck" wines.
I liked the Hess Select, it had a lighter taste that other cabernets I've had, and for $20.00, well worth the price. I'm going to try others in the next couple of weeks.

Show off!!
I couldn't resist! Got it as a gift. Living in the heart of the wine country has its advantages -- I live next door to the Opus One vineyards.

They threw pitches from outer space and back in time? All at once?
Why was this not on TV?
It was!

Not sure I've ever seen one player charge an entire dugout before:
Heaven's above, I'm so sick and tired of Yasiel Puig's act! He, of course, is not the one to charge the entire dugout, but he was the one who charged other players after things had quieted down, knowing full well that there was no way he could get to them, and even if he did get to them, the only thing he'd do is yell at them. And this guy acts like he's so tough! PUKE!

NYRB Classics is having a summer sale on 48 of their books, for those who may be interested. You can save up to 40% on the cover price, depending on how many books you buy. There are some pretty good titles included.
I've always been interested in Anniversaries by Uwe Johnson. Is it worth the buy?

Now, there was a wit. His letters, his (mostly-mock) duel with Jack Benny on the radio... An under-recognized mind.
Totally agree, a quick, funny and insightful mind at work in the Golden Days of Radio, his humor transfers easily to today's climate.

I don't think Hess makes a bad wine. They try to keep their prices down, which I like. The 2016 Hess Estate Chardonnay was a phenomenal bottle of wine for $17. This particular 2014 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon was just OK... for the money. For $50 (on sale from ~$60) I felt it should have been better. Maybe I got a bad cork? It happens. The 2012 vintage was superb.
Their single estate Cabernet from their Allomi Vineyard is very good and very nicely priced for a single estate Cab. The Hess Select line is good wine at a good price - typically under $10. I don't know if they have any wines that they only sell there. It's worth stopping by to see.
Many thanks!

14 Justin Savant. Large group so if that runs out, up next is the 2014 Hess Collection Cabernet Sauvignon.
How are Hess wines? I go to Mount De La Salle often (next door to Hess), and I've always been tempted to stop there.

The Office: Season 1. Haven't seen the episodes since they first aired. I'm surprised how good they are, as I remember not being too impressed when I first watched them, but knowing how everything turns out, I look and see the seeds of all the good stuff to come in this season.

Not just the defense but the shot-making from defensive positions was positively Rafa-esque.
It was, and it wore down Williams, she looked at a loss on how to respond.

An impressive victory by Simona Halep. Serena never seemed to be able to get untracked and just when it looked like she might be getting back into the match, Halep broke her. Too many unforced errors today.
Tomorrow's match could be a marathon. I think Federer might have another title in him.
Halep was amazing in her court coverage, she got everything back. Great win for her.

Wasn't Harden averaging, what? like thirteen seconds per possession dribbling the ball at the end of games during the playoffs?
Well, it looks like the West will be an LA thing this year, though I'm still not sure about how the Lakers are going pull it off, might have to get a Team Pass from NBAtv this year so see what happens in LakerLand.

James Harden and Russell Westbrook in the same backcourt? Yeah, that'll work out great. Still, Chris Paul wasn't working in Houston, so that's about the best the two teams could do given the realities of the contracts involved.
