Parker uses Equal in his coffee, Merisant stocks double
COCKEYSVILLE, MD - Noted man of influence, Robert M. Parker, was spotted at Casey’s Coffee with what appeared to be a medium cup of joe.  As he approached the tricolor of sweeteners, all waited with baited breath. He chose the sky blue sweetness that is Equal. The press and bloggers alike littered their bandwidth with the news, which eventually made its way upstream to the trading floor, where shares of Pepsico, the parent company who owns Merisant, who owns Equal, jumped in price on t...

The TWIG: 2007 Casa Madero Chardonnay Baja Mexico
A wine that holds the claim of the oldest winery in both North and South America. I guess nothing helps convert the natives to Christianity like alcohol. Forget rice Christians… Chardonnay Christians? But I digress. An oaked chardonnay endeavor, but well balanced and a surprise over the past vintages of this wine. Typical tropicals both floral and fruit oriented (lilies, honeysuckle, pineapple, and some sort of guava/papaya thing), not a cool climate or Chablis style by any stretch of t... Read Full Story

The TWIG: 2008 Estacion Cabernet Rose
Another great deal of a drinker from South America, Chile to be precise. All roses are gateway drugs to bigger and better things in my experience, most cut their teeth on white zin, and roses like this one get them to thinking about tannins, acidity, and the lack of residual sugar as positives, or at least as poosibilities. This wine is pretty dark in color. Don’t let the 2008 fool you, their fall (harvest) occurs in our northern hemisphere’s spring, so the wine is pretty young, but not ju... Read Full Story
