Mollydooker 2007 Merlot (The Scooter)
C ountry: Australia Province: South Australia Region: McLaren Vale //also the Sub-Region// Label: Mollydooker Varietal: Merlot Year: 2007 Aroma Cedar box, berries, overall very sweet. Taste There were many layers to this wine, and the more I savored it the more it opened up to me. It started with a white pepper that spread into a spiced rum and star anise. The high acid and murkiness really helped with the layering, and I tend to like less filtered Bordeaux varietals. Once I adjusted to the acidity, a gram cracker flavor started interweaving with a lemongrass and pine needle undertone. The last layer of flavor that came out was a strong sense of hibiscus, which some would call a flowery tea mixed with a little tobacco. This wine truly amazed me, at...
Ghost Pines 2008 Cabernet (Napa & Sonoma Blend)
C ountry: USA State: California Region: North Coast Sub-Regions: 68% Napa County, 32% Sonoma County Label: Ghost Pines Varietal: 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot, 1% Petite Sirah, 1% Cabernet Franc Year: 2008 Aroma Blast of plum, overtone of raw bacon //hickory smokiness with a little lemon grass tang//. Taste Medium acidity, a little bite. Not too peppery, a little bit of tobacco. Hints of cassis, boysenberry and blackberry. It is a little too filtered for my taste, I like my Cabs a little murky. It is balanced, with light fruit, and bold but not too bold. It could be overbalanced, it doesn't seem to have as much depth or character as most North Coast single vineyard Cabs I'm accustomed to. I wonder if blends work well with lower...
Scott Harvey 2007 Zinfandel (Mountain Selection)
Country: USA State: California Region: Sierra Foothills Sub-Region: California Shenandoah Valley Appellation: Amador County Vineyard: Scott Harvey Label: Scott Harvey Mountain Selection Varietal: Zinfandel Year: 2007 Aroma A blast of grape and alcohol. Leads you to believe it will be a fruity Zin. Taste With the exception of the alcohol, it is a straight forward and clean Zin. Not too peppery, not too fruity, a little acid and a little murky. It isn't bold enough to rival a good Cab, but still very bold for a Zin. Those familiar with Shenandoah Valley Zins will be used to the boldness in the Zins of this appellation, and the high alcohol. This wine is definitely big, and to some might be too big. For me its just right. Finish I expected some fruit...
Open Letter to ID’s John Carmack RE: Rage
Dear Mr. Carmack, I have been a fan of ID since elementary school, and have played every game from Commander Keen to Quake III. I have owned copies of Doom for Dos, Windows 95, iPhone, Motorola Doom RPG, XBOX 360 and I even once hacked an iPod to run a Linux version. I found what you were able to accomplish as young as 21, and most of the things I have heard you say about game design and innovation to be a consistent source of inspiration. I say this all mainly because I would love it if you could take the time to read this and not dismiss it as the normal trolling fanfare any game can expect to receive. Before I get to the real point, I have some basic questions: Why can I not shoot through 1/2 inch thick wood planks with fully automatic weapons? There are all...
