There are some great Aussie wines ( hell, I like all sorts of wine [:)] ) favorite red is a Rhone though.

I also really like Rhone reds, but they used to be a bargain. Not so much any more.

California Red Zins are probably my current favorites. I can't get them in OZ, but they are easy to find when I am in the US.

Mont Ventoux!!! 


Indeed!


Turned out to be anti-climactic. No major changes in position in the G.C. Alberto, Andy and Lance proved to be the strongest among those competing for the lead.

Anyways, kudos to the three who - barring disaster tomorrow - will be standing on the final podium in Paris.

I agree, most Rhones have gotten too pricey. And I also like Zins ( but see, I like everything ). I seem to remember reading that the recent dry conditions in parts of the grape growing regions in OZ have negatively effected a lot of the winerys. Have you heard any such thing ? I have had some Shiraz , and Petite Sirahs I have really liked from Down Under.

I have not heard anything; all I have done for the last 12 months is work and read books about the PTO. [:)]

Just finished watching "The Chronicles of Riddick" on TNT in HD.  It's mind candy, but for some reason, I really dig that movie.  [8D]  It looks great in HD. 

Actually a very good film. Not something you'd expect for a Vin Diesel vehicle.

Agreed. Solid movie. I am hoping to rent it in Blu-ray one of these days.

Yes I am. I'm considering looking at the Threadwar. I really miss playing WitP. By the way, I still haven't told my wife AE is coming out in a couple of days. I'm sure I'll get the "I'll see you next week" line. [:D]

I haven't played WitP in a couple of months, the longest I've gone without it since it came out. [:(]

Hey Bruce, can you send me the turn and the replay? I managed to accidentally delete them from both of my emails.
