WBW#43: Comfort Wines: Olson Ogden Syrah 2005
The Corkdork - Wine and Food Musing (Free subscription) | 03/06/2008
Wine Blogging Wednesday #44 Comfort Wines This month's theme, thanks to Joel at Wine Life Today , has been surprisingly thought provoking. For the last week, I've been wondering what makes a wine comforting. Is it a wine you want to sink your nose in after a bad day? Or a wine that sparks with nostalgia? Is it fatty and plump like a mature merlot, or is it to be lean and leggy, like a great...

(Friday) Fiction - Fire
keith's ramblings (Free subscription) | 03/06/2008

Last Night's TV: Rock Rivals, ITV1 Extraordinary People: The Fastest Man On No Legs, Five
The Independent (Free subscription) | 03/06/2008
