DALLAS (AP) — Vic Schaefer and his Mississippi State Bulldogs didn't get much time to celebrate what might be the greatest shocker in women's basketball history.

In my humble opinion Merlot finds its best expression in this state rivaling the right bank of Bordeaux with the likes of Cheval Blanc and Petrus. The big difference is of course old world style vs. new world style. I picked a Merlot in March from Desert Wind Winery and I will finish with a Merlot sourced from the same appellation, the Wahluke Slope.  Bergevin (the “g”... Читать дальше...
