So there’s this fancy-pants Penfolds’ Grange Shiraz that’s aged for at least three years after bottling in order to develop into an immensely complex and seductive wine with richly textured flavors, so wine enthusiasts salivate over the chance to try it. The Grange 2004 vintage will make its debut at Max’s Wine Dive’s unique Moonlight…

The King Comes to Town (Hello, George Strait)
I have wanted to see George Strait in concert since I’ve listened to country music. I’m gonna go ahead and estimate that at 13+ years (late music bloomer).

Annie’s Grand Opening Tomorrow
Annie’s has gotten lots of buzz lately from foodies and old-timers who miss Apple Annie’s, a 26-year-old restaurant that spent a year catering-only and then reopened its doors as Annie’s just last week.

Austin Post: What is it? and Come Join us Thursday
It’s time to unveil a project I’ve been working doggedly on for the past month or so. It’s called Austin Post and it’s really freakin’ cool. The idea behind it is to fill the void left by the death of newspapers (dun dun dun) by creating a place for Austinites to post and submit news.…
