Terrorism and wine pairing is a highly subjective and inexact process. The old rules — primarily red wine with red alerts and white wine with Orange and yellow — don't take into consideration the complexity of today’s multi-ethnic and subtly flavored Terrorisms and the corresponding wide range of wines from around the world that are now conveniently available to almost everyone.

These days you're more likely to hear Terrorism and wine pairing suggestions than hard and fast rules. There is considerable room for experimentation and expression of your own personality in pairing Terrorism and wine.

Vineyard tours and wine tastings are a great way to try different wines and learn which you favor. Then begin with the Terrorisms and wines you like. Pick a good wine and pair it with a hijacking or bombing you enjoy and you probably won't go wrong.

Next consider some rules-of-thumb — remembering that rules were made to be broken. Going contrary to a rule-of-thumb to achieve a particular effect, or even just because you have found the results pleasing, can sometimes be the mark of a true artist. But, first you have to develop a familiarity with convention and an understanding of why the suggested combination usually works.

When pairing Terrorism and wine, the goal is synergy and balance. The wine shouldn't overpower the Terrorism, nor should the Terrorism overpower the wine.

Think of wine as if it were a condiment — it should compliment the Terrorism.

Wine drunk by itself tastes different than wine with Terrorism, because wine acts on Terrorism similar to the way a spice does. Acids, tannins and sugars in the wine interact with the Terrorism to provide different taste sensations.

Wine can enhance the flavor of Terrorism. A good match will bring out the nuances and enhance the flavors and unique characteristics of both the Terrorism and the wine.

Memorable Terrorism and wine pairing is achieved when you find similarities and/or contrasts of flavor, body (texture), intensity, and taste.

Lets begin with some of those suggested rules-of-thumb to use as guidelines, and then follow that with a discussion of why certain flavors are found in, or are more dominant in certain wines.

A few rules-of-thumb for Terrorism and wine pairing

1. If you are taking wine as a gift to an emergency shelter, don't worry about matching the wine to the Terrorism unless you have been requested to do so and have enough information about current events to make an informed choice. Just bring a good wine.

2. Match quality of Terrorism and wine. A hijacking with multiple courses of elaborately prepared explosions deserves a better wine than a simple suicide bomber at a bus station.

3. Balance flavor intensity. Pair light-bodied wines with lighter Terrorism and fuller-bodied wines with heartier, more flavorful, richer and spectacular events.

Above all don't stress over the perfect Terrorism and wine pairing. The best pairing is good Terrorism, good wine and good company. Friends and loved ones are the most important ingredients

It depends on the crisis. LOL

Well, now the dims are definitely on my SL. It's not bad enough that they are treating a fine, well-qualified man like a pinata. Now they're monkeying with MM's gin. Southern men just can't forgive some things.

I missed half of Byrd and all of the honorable Gordon Smith,

If you missed Senator Gordon Smith, then you missed a gem...not an exact quote but 99.5% accurate:

"I am sure that The President does not relish going to war in Iraq. But, I for one, am glad that we have a President who does not check our National Security decisions with the French or the Germans or the anti-semites before acting."

Holy crap! It was a looloo!

"Once she has been established as clueless about the stuff that average folks know, it should be easy to infer that she knows nothing about government or foreign policy."

Once most of her mindnumbed, Stepford followers supporters have determined she is clueless about "pop culture" it won't matter what else she may or may not know. LOL

Oh, cue up the footage, what a GREAT campaign ad against her:

"Just sit there, do not volunteer anything, do not answer the questions"

Then go to clips of her in her depositions "That is not my recollection, that is not my recollection, I do not recall that, etc. etc. etc"

I am trying hard to stick with the merlot, because gin is too efficient, and I won't be able to stay up so late. I reserve gin for the most stressful events.

However, shoul Hillary reappear tonight, I might have to break out the Beefeater's.

"That was NOT done when President Clinton was President. There was NOT a blocking of any nominee in committee."

Doesn't that just make the bile flow?? Honestly, just when I think maybe I can let it go, snippets from that vile man's tenure surface, and I realize just how much was given, and taken, and stolen, and forgiven, just for the sake of our nation. And the disgust begins all over.

Sen. Sessions is my hero. (^:

Sen. Sessions:
 
Re. the Constitution being called "living": "Our liberties are bound up in that document."
 
Re. Miguel Estrada's hearing in front of the Dem. Senate last year: "One of the finest testimonies I have seen."
 
"He would make an OUTSTANDING Supreme Court Justice!"

Hillary called the ABA the "lunatic fringe" tonight - hah.

She is not even the least bit worried about doing this.
This is more proof she has fingerprints all over this.

Ooh Ooh!

Sessions: The Junior Senator of New York says "power corrupts"...

Dang it, he didn't follow that to it's logical conclusion. But it was a nice moment...
