Stella Rossa ll Conte D’Alba
| September 6, 2011 7:55 pm |One of the things that I most look forward to on the weekends is a nice glass of wine. A few weeks ago, I came across a new wine at a local spirits store called Stella Rosa. It turned out that my selection was one of the top rated wines in the store and was a great red wine. The Stella Rosa ll Conte D’Alba cost around $11.99 and tasted far better than most wines three times it’s cost. When I opened the bottle, my nose was instantly filled with the fragrance of roses. The wine is sweet to taste, goes well with fruits and cheeses, but it must be chilled first. It’s no surprise that it’s of such great quality, it’s from the Piedmont region of Italy, where numerous high quality wines come from. Take my word for it, you won’t be disappointed.

Saint Luis Rey Petit Coronas – Review
| July 30, 2011 9:52 am |Saint Luis Rey Petit Coronas Review:
Origin: Cuba Manufactured: Hand Made
Gauge: Medium
Length: 129 mm
Score: 7.9
Good little surprise here! SLR taste profile, which was weakened by the fact of the narrower ring gauge. They have concentrated a lot of the qualities of their expert torcedores and tobacco leave selectors to present a good petit corona. I like the slight spice/grass taste which makes me an SLR fan and was pleased at how this smoked. Slowly, with ample amounts of leather and spice – this smokes like a much larger cigar. Most enjoyable. Smoothness throughout. Same as the rest of the family.
What a pleasant cigar in the best sense of the word. Smooth, creamy, good draw, nice white ash, superb looking wrapper and a good price, what more can you ask for in a small cigar.

3 oz light rum
3 tbsp coconut cream
3 tbsp crushed pineapples
The coconut cream needs to have the right consistancy, some find the alternative, coconut milk to be too thin, however you can add condensed milk to coconut milk to bring up it’s thickness. Add pineapple juice if desired. Put all ingredients into an electric blender with 2 cups of crushed ice. Blend at a high speed for a short length of time. Strain into a collins glass and serve with a straw.
