Not too much in the way of news or drinking. I’ve not been able to drink very much lately because I need every brain cell I have in order to finish this appellate brief which is due on Sunday. I did go to The Wine Specialist today with my friend Waiching to pick up some makoli, which is fermented Korean rice beer. I ended up picking up a new bottle of Bushmill’s 10-year, a new bottle of St. Germaine, a bottle of Allagash Black beer (a Belgian-style stout… wha?!), a bottle of Hakutsuru Junmai Ginjo sake (delicious), and a bottle of the 2006 Bourgogne-Passetoutgrain from Philippe Jouan.
I’m keen on trying this last one because it comes recommended from Trey at The Wine Specialist and seems to have received some favorable press online: the Bourgogne-Passeltoutgrain is a small appellation located in the larger Bourgogne (Burgundy) region. By law the red wines of this region must consist of at least 1/3 pinot noir and no more than 2/3 gamay–thus, it represents a vinous transition from the Beaujolais region and its gamay-based wines and Burgundy and its pinot noir-based wines.
Otherwise, my law school’s newspaper just launched an online version! I’ve been writing pretty regularly for the paper, which is published biweekly. Check out my last article here!

Good luck on the brief. By 3rd year it’ll all seem like nonsense
. Let me know about the Allagash Black – they make some mean stuff. Lost Abbey also does a Belgian style stout called Serpents Stout that is worth checking out.

Yeah, I’d hope that three years of law school would help me get better at SOMETHING. I’m looking forward to the Allagash–I’ll definitely post about it.
