Chateau Mouton Rothschild

Posted by Martin Balerdi On July - 29 - 2009

chateau-mouton-rothschild-1992-750ml

This is possibly one of the most sought-after wines by wine connoisseurs and is probably the best red wine from France. Chateau Mouton Rothschild has great floral hints and demonstrates over tannins that is quite impressive. This is a great wine to stock in your in own personal collection, letting your friends and intimates know that you have great taste and are willing to blow a wad of cash to gratify it. It also makes a great gift since you can almost be guaranteed that the recipient has never received a wine of such a good caliber as a gift.

Chateau Mouton Rothschild is heralded over the globe as one of the world’s finest clarets. The grape vines on the wine estate in France consist of several different varieties, namely Cabernet Sauvignon(77%), Cabernet Franc(10%), Merlot(11%), and Petit Verdot(2%). Mouton is fermented in oak vats and then matured in new oak casks. Another little fascinating fact about Chateau Mouton Rothschild is that a different artist designs a new label for the wine bottle every year, making them great collectibles. The prices are variable according to the vintage year.

Bask in this flask

Posted by Martin Balerdi On July - 29 - 2009

This is the Classic Flask by Dalvey, one out of their line of outdoor flasks. I’m no drunkard, but I can be something of a lush. Flasks are great for taking small quantities of booze from one locale to another in a very inconspicuous manner. With the Classic Flask, you are doing it with the utmost style and class. I don’t condone drunk driving but this is great item to have for street fairs, picnics, concerts, or a day at the beach. It’s also to share a nip with the fellas whenever you find yourself at a babyshower or birthday party and the hardest stuff they have is arbor mist. And despite what those old school Arbor Mist commercials would have you believe, no real man anywhere will lift a finger for Arbor Mist.

I love the look of this thing. It is precision engineered in the stainless steel and then it’s hand-polished to a mirror finish which is easily maintained. I love the choice of stainless steel, because stainless steel is not only a material that is extremely durable, it also won’t add any flavor of a metallic taint. The contours of the flask are elegant and simple, making it easy to visualize this as a true gentleman’s accessory. I would fill this only with a high-quality liquor, something like a good quality scotch whiskey or brandy. They retail for around $49(35 euros to be exact).

The Olucus is a very futuristic looking yacht from Schöpfer Yachts. Its 250-foot, can accommodate 12 guests and can travel at speeds up to 25 knots. It got a double-height dining room, an elevator and a special area for ‘the owner’ + a lot more. – Baekdal

Amazing. And if that didn’t do it for your, go to our friends at Baekdal to catch a glipse of this 300 foot behemoth with an on deck pool, as if the ocean wasn’t enough water for you.

Like a beautiful woman without an attitude, a luxury car that isn’t too gaudy is difficult to find. It’s for this reason we love the new Mercedes Benz E-Class.

We’ve always though the E-Class to be an undervalued brand.Never too flashy on the outside but wrapped in luxury on the inside. However with the new introduction on the 9th generation E-Class, the brand has acquired some much deserved upgrades and a revamped moniker.

Coming in several different packages and interior accommodations, we have personally fallen in love with the Coupe.

Knife Bomber

Posted by Martin Balerdi On July - 27 - 2009

I can’t get enough of this grey leather jacket by All Saints. This is quite possibly one of the coolest of the coolest leather jackets ever. It’s called the Knife Bomber jacket, which is quite possibly the coolest name for anything ever. I love the entire vintage feel this jacket gives off as well. I love the dual storm flaps, yoke panel, and shoulder epaulettes. I mean take a look at this thing, I feel like I should be solving grisly murders in 1970′s London. Or at the least driving the van in the A-Team. This is a great look if you are into riding motorcycles or just looking like a bad ass.

The Knife Bomber is a fantastic jacket and is done in a great style. The jacket retails for around $321.00( or 225 euros).
