 Police Cow: there is a herd of these black and white cows at Webb Ranch on Stanford's grounds, that look like, well police cars. No idea what the breed is (maybe some day Google image search will find similar images and I can find a relevant info page), and they are only occasionally seen in a pasture visible from Alpine Road. Today they were there, and I had a camera and a zoom lens in the car...Comments 12:21:13 PM

"Poetry and Attitude, Pinot Noir's Paradox" is the headline over a NYT story about my favorite grape. Linda and I have hiked many of the the great Pinot regions - Burgundy, Otago and Marlborough in New Zealand and California's Anderson and Napa Valleys - and we both think highly of Pinot Noir wines.
Linda, however, is decidedly in favor of the thinner, more acidic wines that come from cooler climes like New Zealand's South Island and Burgundy: I, former resident (as a student) of the south of France, came to love the fruitier style of Cotes du Rhone (in part because Burgundy was not in my student budget) and am as happy with 'sweeter,' less-thin California Pinots. Eric Asimov's article does a very nice job of describing the trade-off... Pinot is also one of the protagonists in the film Sideways... |
