Weekend Suggestions
Hey folks – looking for something low-key to do this weekend? Well, I have a couple of suggestions for you. The first is a movie which is available right now through Netflix Instant. It is a film based on the New Zealand speed racing motorcyclist Burt Munro. Munro is played by Anthony Hopkins, who in my opinion does a fabulous job. The film tells the tale of Munro’s quest to travel to the Bonneville Salt Flats and break the motorcycle land speed record with an engine under 1000 cc’s. It is an impressive and heart-warming story. A movie that I think appeals to a lot of people and is pretty difficult to dislike. If you’re in the mood for a movie this weekend, definitely give this one some consideration.
A second suggestion comes in a bottle. Blogging about wine bothers me a little because I feel like such a snot, but I really try to do it in the least pretentious way possible. And liking wine isn’t a crime – sometimes it just feels that way when you talk about it. Anyways, moving on! I was at my local wine shop last night and stumbled upon a grape that I had never heard of – Carmenere.
Chile is the big producer of this grape and it is very similar to Malbec. I picked up Vina Peralillo’s Arenal and was blown away by how much I liked it. If you are a Malbec fan, definitely scrounge around your LWS for some Carmenere – I think you’ll really enjoy it.
Anyways – that’s all I got for ya. Have a great weekend everyone.
