Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog: The Final Cut: Vacation Time! We Shack Up with Penny at the Oban Inn! Only Malivoire Wines for Us! Chapter Fifty Eight (58)

I have travelled the world promoting the Disney film and Bob’s novel “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog”, receiving a Nobel Peace Prize and meeting the Pope and all sorts of politicos. I think Dylan the Westie and I have peed and pooped all over the world. But at times it is a blur and itContinue reading “Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog: The Final Cut: Vacation Time!

“Travels to a Different Time” : 13July2005: Coimbra, Portugal: A Large Donald Duck is Looking at Us!

Yet another great sleep waking up at 09:00 and we headed down for a buffet breakfast. Seems in Portugal breakfast is always included in the room rate.  We take our breakfast in a side room but unlike the Pousada in Viano do Castelo we don’t eat outside on a terrace. The dining area seems gloomyContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 13July2005: Coimbra, Portugal: A Large Donald Duck is Looking at Us!”

RKS 2024 Wine: Hostage to Cali Cabernet Sauvignons

In Canada in terms of American Cabernet Sauvignon we are hostage to California Cabernet Sauvignons. I am sure Texas produces some notable Cabernet Sauvignons but timid buyers for our state liquor monopoly the Liquor Control Board of Ontario would rather sell their mother than look to Texas or 48 other states for American wine. MyContinue reading “RKS 2024 Wine: Hostage to Cali Cabernet Sauvignons”

RKS 2024 Wine: Chilean/Argentinian Slugfest: Argentinian Thin Man Pinot Noir

On our higher end retail shelves for quality wine Chile and Argentina are duking it out for the moderately priced wine championship. Chile is undercutting Argentina pricewise and possibly quality wise. Writers from jamessuckling.com seeming to be playing both sides and with their inflated ratings rest assured they receive lots of print in our VintagesContinue reading “RKS 2024 Wine: Chilean/Argentinian Slugfest: Argentinian Thin Man Pinot Noir”

“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” : The Final Cut: What Makes Me Sad and Angry: “Planet of the Dogs”? Dillie the Westie and I Love Truffle Pizza! Chapter Fifty Seven (57)

Many humans are kind and compassionate towards dogs but unfortunately there are many cruel and nasty ones that hurt, abuse, kill, ignore or try to intimidate us. Why are these humans so evil? We surrendered to your care thousands of years ago to protect, hunt and serve you. We are compassion dogs, police and armyContinue reading ““Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” : The Final Cut: What Makes Me Sad and Angry: “Planet of the Dogs”?

RKS Literature: Why the Aristocrats Heads Rolled in the French Revolution (Charles Dickens)

“We were so robbed by the man that stands there, as all we common dogs are by those Superior beings-taxed by him without mercy, obliged to work for him without pay, obliged to grind our corn at his mill, obliged to feed scores of his tame birds on our wretched crops, and forbidden for ourContinue reading “RKS Literature: Why the Aristocrats Heads Rolled in the French Revolution (Charles Dickens)”

“Travels to a Different Time” : 12July2005 Viano do Castelo/Guimares, Portugal

We are doing our best to manage the jet lag. It seems to be working well as we had a good sleep until 09:00. We had our breakfast on the terrace overlooking the basilica and the town. Unfortunately, there are wildfires in the distance and water bombers are continually landing on the ocean and fillingContinue reading ““Travels to a Different Time” : 12July2005 Viano do Castelo/Guimares, Portugal”

RKS 2024 Wine: Rasteau Man Vibrations!

Perhaps wishful thinking with this miserably cold and damp weather made me think of this as a Rasta Man wine. But returning to reality I realize the wine has been incorrectly described! It has nothing to do with Jamaica as it is French. There is no Rasta Man in sight as the wine is aContinue reading “RKS 2024 Wine: Rasteau Man Vibrations!”
