Hanna Winery and Vineyards
Your faithful lifestyle scribe penned the “Upfront” piece in the January-February edition of Tasting Panel Magazine. The profile of Hanna Winery and Vineyards president Chris Hanna is part of an issue-wide “Women in Wine” theme also featuring photos by Flash Lely.

Mustache Machine
When Japanese school girl fetishism surpassed that of the Catholic school girl (“and her tiny little mustache,” as Frank Zappa sang in his lurid paean to the plaid-clad adolescents), it brought with it a new chapter in vending machine lore.

This is the first of a series of videos made in collaboration with Original Matters Media for Hunter III Wines. Fine time (finer wines). Kudos to director pal Raymond Scott Daigle for keeping Robert Hunter and I on task (we were having far too much fun).
“Carnival of Souls” on Sonoma Drive-In, with your host…
Here’s my star turn in Bob Taylor’s affectionate “Creature Feature” knock-off “Sonoma Drive-In.” And no, I hadn’t bothered to watch the film.
A Karloff by Any Other Name: The Boris Karloff Blogathon
Though the neck-bolts persisted like a pair of parens framing Boris Karloff’s 38-year career following his portrayal of the Frankenstein monster in 1931, the actor once beamed “The monster was the best friend I ever had.” Such is a testament to good casting, better luck and why the role remains indelibly Karloff’s though he only [...]
Thanksgiving in Blue
Last year, I wrote a piece on the so-called “turducken,” the culinary abomination that shares its theme music with the Frankenstein movies, and received the following note from my Washingtonian pal Geoffrey Cain, who opined:
“If you are going to write about the turducken, you should remember to mention the Brazilian turdukenaconda. A duck is force [...]
