name of wine predicament

sooooo I am getting ready to bottle two of rieslings here. One is sweet and the other is a semi-sweet. I have to develop a label for each of them so that its clear to customers which one is sweeter and which isn't...what I can't decide is if I should put Sweet Riesling right on the front of the label or if that sounds tacky. My boss wants me to call it a "Dolce" Riesling...because we're an italian winery but I think it sounds awful. any suggestions???

ps. the weather is awesome here! hope you are all enjoying the sunshine...taj mahal is coming here in may...flaming lips will be here in april and further is touring here in the summer too i think june or july...and also, we have the grassroots festival in july which is going to be awesome....just throwing out some bones...maybe someone will bite

A Little Warmth in the Depths of Winter

I saw a lady in a miniskirt today while I was trudging through a blizzard and about 30 cm of newly fallen snow on the way to school. God bless her... and FUCKthatblizzardIthoughtspringwashere.

DuQuan Sighting

I was at the thrift store the other day near my house, and out of the corner of my eye I spied this tall skinny black guy that looked unbelievably like Dookie from the Wire. Being nosy, I went and browsed some coats in the general area he was browsing. As soon as I overheard him utter the words "That coat is fly" I knew that I had found the genuine article.

He was dressed better than the character he played on the show, but the coat he was commenting on was vintage Bubbles. I felt weird ogling him from a distance, and being kind of awkward I didn't feel like verifying that he was, in fact, Dookie. So, I left feeling 99% sure I had actually seen him. My brother confirms that he lives in our neck of the woods, and is in fact a really nice guy. All in all, another good find at the Hyattsville Value Village.

earth to friendz?

I hear you have all been anti-blog as of late but now that i can post on this electronic mumbojumbo you should get back in the game!

sooooo lotsa new stuff happening in geneva, im a winemaker, we have a new hip hang out on linden street that james elkin is turning into a wine/ beer bar. There is a new garbage plate place called joe's hots and they are building a super walmart! bitches. Good news is that there is this new group i'm a part of called the 40 under 40... we're trying to revamp geneva to make it a hip and happening progressive place...i smell a new, smaller and cooler ithaca...its pretty neat though you know...change. We have a new art space in this old building called the cracker factory, feels like brooklyn...we had the film festival and a few performances there so far (by the way if you want to submit to the finger lakes film festival its in november so start rollin!)

also, i am taking care of a fat goat and a preggers donkey and 3 peacocks.

Today i'm trying to filter out pinot gris to make it taste good.. its a pretty slow process so figured i would write to you people...
