All of the band’s econolines have run to six figure mileages- involved in transport and shipping.  Other of course than brakes , tires etc cetra.  There is nothing boring about stone cold reliability of transport - whether it is sixteen degrees outside and there is a club 400 miles from the highway.

General Motors as well as Chrysler may have cut costs by sticking to unibody construction, but framelessness undercuts their durability as well as reliability.  It also made rust - a given in vans from the 60’s , seventies and eighties no matter who built them - in even more serious problem.  Rust is not a big factor anymore.  Yet bands will still notice in their transport as well as shipping concerns the fact that Chevrolet and GMC have done what Ford did in 1975 and then introduced a new full size van in 1997 - featuring a separate frame.

Rethinking Wine and Cheeses

July 1st, 2008

Wine and cheese may be a most standard combination .   A careful and thoughtful tasting will reveal that cheese can be a particularily hard to choose item when it comes to matching it with red wines.  It seems that cheese’s inherent saltiness can be red wine’s worst enemy , since it can predispose the tasting effects to wine’s tannins , leaving a most bitter aftertaste.

Cheese itself , is well known to be high in acidity and acid levels,  cheese choices should be in line with with wines chosen for acidity counts and levels as well.  In addition “White wines” have the added advantage of being tannin free.

It can be said that it terms of choices of wines and wineries that the most successful cheese matches are whites from the French regions of Alsace : Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Rieslings.  It can be said to be remember that in a pinch that classic wine choices , never seem to disappoint and always hold true.

Bold sweet wines also are good choices in such situations.  Their inherent flavors and boldness can always be counted on to hold the day.  If not then regional champions can be the next step in choice.

The tangy goat cheeses of France’s Loire Valleys can match the best Sauvignon Blanc wines of the areas.  Or instead you might setup with pungent washed rind  cheeses of the Alsace - Lorraine regions.

Lastly if red wines still tickle your pallet  you can setup with lower based tannin count red wines such as Beajoulais, Pinot Noir and Valpolicella with hard cheeses .
