Well, originally, I wasn’t going to review this. It’s such a mundane thing. But then I thought, what are future generations going to do when they face the same problem we did this year – What to bring to the family Thanksgiving dinner? We were assigned the pies.

On the theory that a whole bean coffee will be better than an equivalent ground coffee, I took this $3.99 journey. It’s sad to say that the journey disproved the theory. This coffee ranks down near the bottom of our coffee ratings with its brothers and sisters on the ALDI coffee shelves.

Everyone needs one of these if for no other reason than the electric blue bottle.

Grifone Chianti Riserva 2010
For $1.50 more and a couple of years more aging I was expecting great things from this wine in comparison to its IGT little brother recently tasted (Grifone Sangiovese IGT 2013). What I got was at least $1.50 better wine. But that’s not a bad thing, and just points out how good little brother is.

Grifone Sangiovese 2013
Pretty darn good for $4.49 at Trader Joe’s. This is an IGT classified wine, which just represents that the wine/grapes come from the specified region of Italy (Puglia in this case) and meet the other IGT specifications. It’s a lesser designation than a DOC designation. Well, it may not be up to the DOC requirements, but it’s still a pretty good wine and certainly worth the $4.49 price.
Coffee-Off – Medium Roasts – Food Review

Coffee is the new wine. Actually it’s been that way for some time now. Where there used to be several national brands and a few regional brands which all delivered a pretty satisfactory cup of Joe in the morning to get the day going, there is now a bewildering array of “specialty” brands, blends and bedlam. To complement this there is also a bewildering lexicon of creative befuddlement which ultimately takes your mind off the fact that you may actually be drinking a fairly bad cup of coffee.

To be fair, the cork was compromised.
