Tonight at WHS event at Russia House: "So, I met this girl two weeks before she went to prison..." Best one-sentence story ever? Perhaps.

Landed in Indy. I LOVE @SouthwestAir. Seriously.
Indiana! Where I won't be the only person hoping the Irish beat Michigan State tonight.
Woohoo! Plane!
Zona Mexicana: 4 taps, 1 Mexican beer. Way to commit to a theme.
ding tannins line a very powerful profile. Take: first taste of a Senesi; reminds me of Super Tuscans. Bold and powerful.. this is Chianti?
"That nust have been a slow flight." Guy next to me, as an Egyptian military plane taxied by the window.
: more typical of the red-sauce partner Chianti tends to be. Shows its hand up front, a dinner wine.
Gucciardini Strozzi, DOCG 2008. Clear ruby.Bright cherry nose, slightly herbal. Leather and green herbs surrounding cherry: gummy, soft tannins. My take
a clean finish showing young tannins. My take: Nuance over power - my kind of wine, but this is slightly young in profile.
Felsina Classico Reserva '06. Murky color. Slatey and spicy on the nose, dark fruit to come. Subtle fresh blackberry and vivid spice gives way easily to
At Vino Volo. Up today: flight of Chianti. Notes to follow.
Whenever I eat sushi at airports, I now automatically think of Up In The Air. bwi sushi isntallthatbadactually
