Broken dreams are like quicksand
You begin to sink
Into the wake of your soul
But engaging death
You meet yourself once again

Beer Review
On October - 27 - 2009
Brewer: Great Lakes Brewing Company
Brew: Commodore Perry IPA
City based out of: Cleveland, OH
ABV 7.5%
Tastes Like: This IPA is like most IPAs a pure burn down the throat but if you have had one IPA you have nearly had them all. The only exception is that there is a small citrus element to this one just like most Great Lakes beers.
Sianet Radio Rating: 3.0 out of 5
Beer Review
On October - 27 - 2009
Brewer: Great Lakes Brewing Company
Brew: Burning River Pale Ale
City based out of: Cleveland, OH
ABV 6.0%
Tastes Like: A citrus zip on a burning flame of love. This beer has citrus taste that is pretty much the only thing for flavor it has. Don’t think for a moment that this brew tastes like Blue Moon. The citrus has a pure burn to it that sets off the strength and flavor.
Sianet Radio Rating: 4 out of 5

WORD MARATHON: WINO REVIEWS
On October - 27 - 2009
Welcome to Wino Reviews. I decided to start doing this after I talked to Juicetime, and found out he was reviewing beer and I thought I might join in on the alcohol assessments.
Since I am no longer going out to as many clubs as I did when I was in college, I don’t have the need to indulge in hard liquor as much, although I still love the occasional vodka martini. Lately, I’ve developed a fondness for wine and the possibilities are endless with the flavors, as each type has a different spirit and some have great je ne se qua that can really enhance a night.
In these reviews, I am going to go over different wines that are affordable (because honestly that is the only type I can buy). And this will be a good outlet for my inner pretentious snob (we all have one you must admit).
I tend to like west coast and French wines the most, because a lot of them have personality but aren’t too strong, in my opinion. The following are two relatively cheap wines that are among my favorites.
Dancing Bull Zinfandel (Red) 2007 $10
This red wine is perfect for any occasion and is deep and complex without being overly harsh or gritty. It has a bite to it, as it should having a bull as its symbol; but it isn’t a hard one-just a love bite. It is the smoothest red wine I have tasted at its price range. I like to drink it with Italian or Spanish food!
Chateau Ste Michelle Chardonnay (White) 2006 $12
I fell in love with the flavor of this wine after I ordered it at an Asian restaurant for my birthday. It is airy and flowery without being too light and has complex undertones that you can savor a while after sipping. It goes well with many different types of food, but I prefer to pair it with Asian, or French cuisine.

Love is a river at birth
The fearless waters
Awe you but grow quieter
Leaving you its strength
