RKS Literature: L.A. Gringo Blames the Mexicans

“It was the Mexicans who’d done this. Illegals. Goons with their hats turned backwards on their heads. Sneaking across the border, ruining the schools, gutting property values and freeloading on welfare, and if that wasn’t enough, now they were burning everybody else too. They were like the barbarians outside the gates of Rome, only theyContinue reading “RKS Literature: L.A. Gringo Blames the Mexicans”

RKS 2024 Wine: A Shiraz from Australia’s Langhorne Creek: I am Not Waltzing With This Matilda

Thoughts on a Bleasdale 2019 Generations Shiraz. Aroma: Oak has worked itself nicely into the wine softening and plumping it up, hopefully not for the slaughter. Ripe plum, blackberry, cherry, spice and white pepper. Palate: No jammy Aussie bunko wine. In fact scratching my head with such an alluring aroma where did the fruit go.Continue reading “RKS 2024 Wine: A Shiraz from Australia’s Langhorne Creek: I am Not Waltzing With This Matilda”
