Mâcon lies within the Burgundian wine area of France. One thinks of low-cost Chardonnay but red wine from the Mâcon is not often seen in Ontario. This red Mâcon is the lowest tier Mâcon. It is a Gamay. Aroma: Bright and cheerful cherry accented with raspberry and milk chocolate. Simple and right at you. Palate:Continue reading “RKS 2024 Wine: A Rare Red Wine From Mâcon”

“Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: Dillie The Westie Speaks: Chapter Forty Eight (48)
Reggie lives with me and no not in the way your febrile mind works! Reggie is my brother in arms and a best friend. Not to boast but I might say I am the brains behind the Rat Pack. I mean Reggie and the other guys and girls are but enthusiastic pups. I have beenContinue reading ““Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: Dillie The Westie Speaks: Chapter Forty Eight (48)”
“Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: Kit Kat Speaks: Chapter Forty Seven (47)
I suppose you may have a question why a Portuguese dog from Porto is a Rat Pack member. Bob writes about wine tourism and a few years back was invited by the Portuguese government on a media tour of the Douro wine region. Mr. Antonio was the driver of a Mercedes van used in thatContinue reading ““Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: Kit Kat Speaks: Chapter Forty Seven (47)”
“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: The Mookster Speaks: Chapter Forty Six (46)
As The Mookster and a North Korean defector and ashamedly at one point a member of The Supreme Leader’s Ruling Cartel I have an intimate nature of the snakes in politics. I have an intelligence network second to none in fact far superior to the CIA. It could be because my sources are dogs allContinue reading ““Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog”: The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: The Mookster Speaks: Chapter Forty Six (46)”
“Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” : The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: Ollie Speaks: He Loves the Smell of Napalm in the Morning! Chapter Forty Five (45)
Well Penny claims to be the best-looking dog in the Rat Pack. With my exceedingly good looks we may make a nice pair! In addition to my good looks they didn’t call me in China “The One with The Enlightened Nose” for nothing. While steak and chicken are easy marks for my olfactory abilities’ explosivesContinue reading ““Reggie the Egyptian Rescue Dog” : The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: Ollie Speaks: He Loves the Smell of Napalm in the Morning!

RKS 2024 Television: APTN Reversing the Spiral of Indigenous Negativity With JASON
Pardon me but I think perhaps I have watched too many films and documentaries about the plight of Indigenous Canadians. I think the point of having too much of this negativity was after watching the documentary “Twice Colonized”. The negativity almost dehumanizes Indigenous populations. APTN is reversing the negative spiral after its showing of seriesContinue reading “RKS 2024 Television: APTN Reversing the Spiral of Indigenous Negativity With JASON”
Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: 25July1971: Crete, Greece: Beef in a Pancake!
Dearest Barbara: Both Robert and I do not like Crete. We find Cretans surly and grasping not at all like the other islands. So we will take the first boat out of here in three days. It is terribly humid here. We went to a beach some twenty minutes from the pension we are stayingContinue reading “Travels to a Different Time: Travels of My Mother: 25July1971: Crete, Greece: Beef in a Pancake!”
RKS Literature: No Place for a Young Man in a London Bank! (Dickens)
“Cramped in all kinds of dim cupboards at Telleson’s the oldest of men carried on the business gravely. When they took a young man into Telleson’s London house, they hid him somewhere until he was old. They kept him in a dark place, like a cheese, until he had the full Telleson flavour and blueContinue reading “RKS Literature: No Place for a Young Man in a London Bank! (Dickens)”
RKS Literature: The Responsible Jury (Dickens)
“That, for these reasons, the jury being a loyal jury (as he knew they were), and being a responsible jury (as they knew they were), must positively find the prisoner Guilty, and make an end of him, whether they liked it or not. That, they could never lay their heads upon their pillows; that theyContinue reading “RKS Literature: The Responsible Jury (Dickens)”
“Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog” : The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: Penny Speaks: Chapter Forty Four (44)
The original Rat Pack consisted of Dillie, Karim and myself. We were a force to be reckoned with but with Karim’s untimely death the Rat Pack had no soul left. We were deflated. With the trials and tribulations we canine types have endured of late we possess a deep sense of shared experience and purposeContinue reading ““Reggie The Egyptian Rescue Dog” : The Final Cut: The New Rat Pack: Penny Speaks: Chapter Forty Four (44)”
