of our loyal and morally rooted followers. There is but one Chianti reviewed this week, as one of the members (Simon) accidentally purchased a non-Chianti wine. He has been made to pay for his transgression in the manner any secret society, cult or quilting club would. The details, of said punishment shall remain confidential, as they are too gruesome for the general public to stomach. It suffices to say that, the victim... I mean transgressor is "missing parts".

Andrews house: Whole wheat pasta, with bell peppers, baby bella mushrooms and Italian sausage. Freshly cleaned kitchen and table, Bill Withers: Lean on Me, the Best of Bill Withers followed by The Buena Vista Social Club bumpin through the Ipod-docked clock radio. I know y’all gettin’ jealous. The evening evolved to the viewing of “Idiocracy”.
If you have not seen this movie, put it in your Que, rent it, or pirate a copy (just kidding FBI). It’s an informative, prequel-docu-comedy with a sagacious (look it up) glimpse forward. It’s Nostradamus meets Darwin meets Beavis and Butthead. See where we are headed if FOX News, tea baggers (yes there are multiple meanings) and the intellectual hating nut bags continue to dumb the masses down. Ok sorry bout that. That’s a different blog. Just see the movie it’ll make you laugh and quite possibly wet your pants. On to the Chianti…
Initial Impressions:
"Shuck it Trebek, shuck it long and shuck it hard" or
“I wanna leave this in my mouth longer than usual” –SP
"Hey Rockeee, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat… See, nuthin up my sleeeeve" or
“It’s nice, from top to bottom, front to back and side to side” -AP
Descriptive terms:
fruity, leathery, un-hurried, confident without arrogance, cucumber cool, game-changer, buttery, pitch perfect, nicely done and of the earth.
Character Comparisons:
Billy D. Williams (as Lando)
JFK (pre Texas trip)
Michael Corleone
Natalie Portman (in The Professional)
Overall Rating and Conclusions:
AP rating 4.75 corkscrew turns. (CST's)
I’ve given this the highest rating of all the Chianti’s we’ve tried. I do this a tad reluctantly. “Why”? you ask. To that I say, because as good as it was, it posed not challenge to my taste buds. and let’s face it, Chianti is nothing if not a challenge to drink. So the fact that this one was so good, I had hard time keeping it in the class: Chianti.
SP rating 4.00 corkscrew turns. (CST's)
I really liked it. But it’s not worth leaving your wife for.
