Gentil Hugel - a pleasant white wine from Alsace.
Lately I've been drinking some tasty and inexpensive white wine from Alsace, which you might remember as the place Tomi Ungerer comes from.
This is called Gentil "Hugel" - by itself a fun multilingual mix, like Alsace/Elsaß itself. A link where links do well:
The web site is actually pretty charming, with things like pictures of the hotel in Macau where they went to (presumably) sell wine.
Anyhow, this wine was imported by Frederick Wildman & Sons - a pretty reliable importer, in my experience. The single bit of marketing copy that really struck me as true (from the hugel.com site) is the description of the wine as grapey.
Yes, it's very grapey. It tastes like Autumn. I recommend it. I paid twelve bucks US.

fail@me.com
- Mail I've handled on my iPhone or on me.com still doesn't "push" to my Mac 12 hours later.
- The "reply" function on me.com routinely throws the web-app into a bad state ("action not allowed").
- Sync from my Mac to me.com to the iPhone is basically nonexistent.
