Scattered among the local news and notes found on The Advocate's blog, you'll also find Jeff Siegel's wine reviews -- like, from today, this item about the Domain du Tariquet Côtes de Gascogne 2007.

The site, matter of fact, got them a rather nice write-up in today's Chicago Tribune. So, l'chaim to The Wine Curmudgeon! --Robert Wilonsky
