...that still leaves us a little short in the romance department. Shorter, in fact, than we were when the hazy, lazy days began, what with Mel Gibson having revealed something irreducibly ugly in his nature - in vino veritas, lest we forget - and the world having concluded that Tom Cruise is Public Weirdo #1. I don't say that these formerly adored guys can't make a comeback; America's memory loss, both short- and long-term, and especially when it come to celebrity misbehavior, has reached truly epidemic proportions. But the truth is that these actors have long since ceased...
Soft lighting reflected off classic long-stemmed wine glasses, complementing tall bottles of Merlot, plates piled with Jarlsberg and Brie, and the gray-tinted chalkboard—not what one would expect on a typical Wednesday night at Harvard Law School (HLS). But for the members of In Vino Veritas, it was business as usual.“Okay, guys, we’re going to get started,” third-year law student Tom Brown, who led the wine-tasting that evening, says, clinking together two tall water bottles.

...wine connoisseurs, the phrase homemade wine conjures up images of the dense, sweet plonk made in some grandfather's basement.

Luego vino la direcci?n. Maldonado Miracle, el otro proyecto de Hayek, que cuenta c?mo una estatua sangrante cambia de ciudad, sali? al aire en Showtime en el 2003. A este punto, la actriz hubiera podido sentarse al borde de su piscina a elegir guiones, invitaciones y regalos. Pero Hayek, de 38 a?os...
Chilean tourism is still affected by the image of the 1973-90 Pinochet dictatorship. But as part of the push to trumpet its newer, higher-quality winemaking, Chile is turning to wine tourism as a means of selling a brighter national identity. Colchagua now has a Ruta del Vino (Wine Route), with train service, tastings on decks built high into vineyard hills, horseback excursions and rodeos performed by huasos (cowboys). Four-star Spanish-colonial-style hotels like the Santa Cruz Plaza are sprouting up, and festivals like the Vendimia (grape harvest) are drawing new crowds of foreigners. At the bottom...
