Northeastern Australia got walloped yesterday with a cyclone a lot bigger than Katrina, and there is another, smaller cyclone behind it

Heh, I'm going to be in Santa Rosa next week visiting family. :)

Holy fuck. I better hear from you. Call me at 512 925 3325. I work 7a-7p M-F and 7-1pm on Saturday. We should definitely do dinner. :)

We're arriving tomorrow afternoon and leaving Saturday morning, so if we do manage to connect it will be either Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday evening.

My cell is 208-794-0164, although I have somewhat lousy reception at the moment (it's in amidst a bunch of metal).

look for Sin Zin, it's a zinfandel made in the Alexander Valley. it's very peppery, and usually has classical paintings of half-naked ladies or devilish figures on the label, to play up the spiciness. I like it a lot. you can find it here sometimes, but for 10 or 15 bucks more than you can in Cali. (was 16 a bottle last time I was in Napa)

It is going on my list of ones to find. So far, I've been really impressed with St. Supery (both their reds and whites) and Kenwood's Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. Oh, and I got to try an amazing chardonnay port and barbera port, but I can't remember which winery off the top of my head right now. But neither will be released until October.

My Santa Rosa kin drink a lot of Charles Shaw wine, which they call Two Buck Chuck. I find the name very amusing, though I can't personally speak for the quality (even if it *does* smell quite nice); however, my mom agrees with them that it's very nice wine for the pricetag.
