Lost season premier tonight! Other than the annoying surprise one hour review show it was a good hour of television. Socked in by what passes as a severe winter storm in Chicago (might get 5 inches!) we settle in for the evening. So we pick up the phone order Indian and find a suitable bottle from the dwindling backlog of varietals.This Muscadet (actually the Melon de Bourgogne grape) is like a riesling with a good deal of the sweetness removed. It pairs nicely with chicken tikka masala and mango chutney and plane crash "survivors" struggling to get off an island they probably should stay on. For $11 this is a fine bottle but I think it is missing something. I would like to find a great example of this wine and see what this grape can do.

The show LOST!, unlike your blog, always leaves me with more questions than answers! Who are the "Oceanic 6"? We already know Jack, Hurley, Kate and whoever was in the coffin made it back to the real world. Where is everyone else?! Are they still alive?! Such a great show...enough to keep me interested without giving me enough information to actually figure anything out!
On Thursday night we had a really bad bottle of wine (which didn't make it past the first glass), then opened a bottle of Chianti, which fit island escape very nicely.
