Privada from Mendoza, Argentina.

  
Did not have many argentina wines before. This one was a trial and turned out not bad... Well balanced between aroma and flavor. Acid is on the weak side but not really a factor.. Blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cab. Yap...

Kia Sorrento

  
The first day i jumped on it, quickly realized why US car is beaten up. It rans quick smooth and quiet...

I didnot drive it enough. The only problems I encountered are that engine is not juicy enough. Ans on a cool morning after cold start, i guess the engine didnot warm up enough, it runs awkward..

Perrin&Fils from Cote du Rhone Villages

  
50% Grenache and 50% Syrah.... Very high tanning acid at beginning. Took a while to wake it up. But after that, has good balance of flavor and aroma... Think this is a good classic french wine.

737-700 from ATL to Orange County (SNA)

It was not a bad flight.. But its cabin entertainment was horrible. Pretty much anything worth watching requires a payment.. Now Delta is really nickle and dime on everything.... Soon they will charge for restroom and eventually the air in cabin.
Flew out in a gloomy day in Atlanta. Rain and Windy. And Marta had some issues with delaying the train. But then Orange county was gorgeous.... Gee... The weather here is just ridiculously nice...

Ford F-150

  
Need to do a small project at home so went out to rent a pick up. Ford F150 is recognized as the most popular pick up in US. The pick up culture is sort of funny in here. Just like 4x4 and SUV. Many people don't drive off road or haul something often but still prefer a SKU and pick up... While these thing sucking up unnecessary gas, then they try to justify it by safety reason.... They should not drive these kind of thing to start with :) Maybe the safety reason is really because stupier people tend to drive bigger car? Should post a heavy tax and insurance premium on these things so help them to think smarter or just be away from these.

Anyway interesting driving. Still prefer the comform from ordinary car than bumpy truck ride.

Chinese Shoashin

A gift from my colleague... The package quality seem quite above average. And my chinese friends seem like it. But i am not used to this type of liquer. So only had some sips and put it back to wine cellar.
