Bargain Bin: Yellow+Blue Malbec
Finally! An eco-friendly boxed wine we'll drink
((FROM TASTINGTABLE.COM))
Wine is a carbon Bigfoot: All those heavy glass bottles and time spent on trucks and planes add up. Wine producers have been playing with glass alternatives for years (see Franzia), but we've never tried a boxed wine we could get behind until we were introduced to Yellow+Blue (get it?) by Scott Pactor, the picky palate who owns the beloved, organic-oriented Appellation Wine and Spirits.
The unoaked Argentinean Malbec is made from certified organic grapes, then boated to Canada where it's packaged in paperboard Tetra Paks, a process that produces about a fifth of the greenhouse emissions used to make and move glass bottles.
Eco-friendliness aside, at $12 a liter, it's the perfect fall picnic wine—soft and juicy with ripe plum and blueberry flavors and enough complexity to surprise the wine snobs. Just don't forget to recycle.

entourage returns tonight along with the premiere of true blood some vampire drama from the creator of six feet under.
Thanks to a Japanese scientist’s invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures “coming out of the coffin.” Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out. Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. “Cursed” with the ability to listen in on people’s thoughts, she’s also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill’s arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.in fact its quite a day for the couch bound with tennis and football among other baubles.

more wackiness from the gang at msnbc. matthews decided to grow a pair of hardballs. eyeing that senate seat on pennsylvania seems to have done him some good. although it just might be that he off his meds.
I guess I missed the 9/11 highlights reel. It's their favorite day in the whole world.
Calling them bloodsucking motherfuckers would be an insult to perverted vampires the world over.
