I'm too cheap to buy Gore-Tex raingear, so I settled on the supposedly next best thing. That's Marmot Membrain, and this year, with the torrential rains, it's really proven itself and given me my money's worth. Highly recommended. I bought a second one!

Semi-technical pants that work
I've been pleasantly surprised by two pairs of Columbia pants: the City Slickerz and the Trail Twist. It's fairly difficult to find stretchy, water repellent, narrow legged pants that look good enough to wear in town, on the bike and on the trail. If you want them for cheap, to boot, forget it! Except somehow Columbia has really started delivering on the women's pants front. I'm really happy with these, and I could afford them!
Kenneth-Crawford 2008 Babcock Pinot Noir
I tasted this wine tonight at the SB Yacht Club and I thought it was remarkable enough to... well, to remark on. Go check out the tasting notes on the wine makers' website and tell me these are not full on wine nerds! This was a lovely Pinot Noir, completely out of the price range where I normally buy wine. I was, as expected due to price and origin, impressed!
