friday distractions

t was my birthday over the holidays and for a gift i received a bottle of wine from my sister-in-law who works at kenaston wine market. it was a bottle of cono sur reserva syrah and it was lovely. the cono sur winery makes some very nice bottles of wine and they have an appealing philosophy with environmental considerations. also appealing is the use of the bicycle image on their bottles, but it does not stop there, they extend it their overall philosophy as well...


"Both in life and in wine we believe in returning to bicycle basics, to those simple things you never forget."

very nice. we often buy the organic wine for our "table" wine and quite enjoy it.

on another note, the other day something triggered my memory to an album that i used to own called "the secret policeman's ball" the album contained music from an amnesty international benefit concert which also featured british comedy acts from monty python and rowan atkinson. this was one of my favourite albums at the time because it contained killer tracks by pete townshend doing solo acoustic versions of drowned and won't get fooled again; youtube is truly a great thing...
