This conversation took place while my wife was waiting for a scanner issue to be fixed at the Bloom grocery store. Michelle: How do you feel about a grocery store opening right next door. Store Manager: Aldi doesn’t sell groceries Michelle: Yes they do. Cashier: And I hear they will kill us on fresh produce […]
A lot of people think that traffic cases are automatically dismissed if the officer doesn’t come to court. And they think we can continue the case to make the officer less likely to show up. Unfortunately, those are basically traffic defense myths, at least for Virginia traffic cases. Transcription I’ve had the video transcribed below […]

Dateline: 1860 Location: Republican campaign rally in Manhattan According to the next day’s Times and other papers, things began to spin out of control when supporters of a rival presidential contender, John Bell, charged toward the Lincoln men, “calling them ‘negro stealers,’ ‘sons of b____s,’ &c.” At the corner of 12th Street and Fourth Avenue, […]
Every year we start looking for great Thanksgiving wines about mid-summer. By then we are sick of the heat and dreaming about fall, Turkey and cozy dinners in. For Matt and I Thanksgiving is our favorite holiday of the year, truly a great American Holiday. No buying gifts or frenetic shopping, just one beautiful day to spend with friends and family to cook, eat and enjoy each other. I love it.
Needless to say the planning starts early with menus, ordering the Turkey (this year we reserved a Heritage turkey at Olde Towne Butcher) wine pairings, what cocktail to make and of course making sure the whole family will be together. Can you tell how much I love it?
Even at the shop I enjoy thinking about what other people’s Thanksgivings will include and figuring just the right wine. My criteria is a wine that pairs well with a wide variety of foods, is a great value and is something different than the usual.
Enter the Donkey and Goat Syrah ‘El Dorado’ 2008.
If you are looking for a rich, red wine that will still pair well with the meal this little gem is sure to fit the bill. Featured in the New York Times as one of the few winemakers in the US to produce natural, organic wines and with very minimal added sulfites. This Syrah is a concentrated red with notes of dark berry liqueur, black raspberry and a pronounced spiciness.
Worth the splurge at $25.99 (retail)!
