Chilean Deliciousness.
My buddy Tom Caestecker is a Chicago-based wine reviewer – check out his latest column on Chilean reds here.  I just like hearing things described as “total fruit bombs”.  And what other wine review references the ’sixth’ Rolling Stone?  Little Red Rooster, indeed.

From a blurb in The Economist.  I don’t eat McDonald’s, but even if I did, I can’t imagine working for that long to afford one.
