Newly Released, the 2007 Stillman Syrah!
Ladies, gentlemen and fruit flies, this, the second vintage of Swilly's outstanding clone 877 Syrah from the mysterious Arroyo Seco appellation in Monterey has even more cool-climate pepper than its predecessor, along with a beautiful black-fruit palate, refined balance, and just enough tannic structure to remind you that it is not a Pinot Noir. (Although some Pinot Noirs selling for twice or thrice are apparently trying to be Syrah, ahem.) The wine is priced at $33 retail per bottle, however those of you intrepid enough to email or call Swilly (StillmanB@aol.com, 805-550-6492) will find him ready to grant you wholesale pricing, assuming you don't want to ship one bottle to your aunt in Sumatra.

MONKEY BALL, NOVEMBER 25, 2008
CLICK HERE FOR PICS!
Ladies, gentlemen and fruit flies, one of the myriad benefits of being on our email list, besides learning which wines to serve with spam, are our party invitations. This will be our biggest party in several years, as the venues for Stillman's birthday extravaganza last year were limited a mere 200 or so attendees.

SWILLAPALOOZA - OCTOBER 3-7, 2007
Swilly Idle and Tortelvis of Dread Zeppelin,
both making their trademark hand gestures.
Winemakers Don Brady of Robert Hall,
and Tobin James of Eagle Castle (just kidding).
Note the advanced climbing footwear on Swilly!
Five teenagers who've played speed metal in a garage every other night for two years, and we unleashed them, and their amplifiers. "Architecture of Destruction". This child above will be famous someday.
And finally, our own Turbonegro tribunals, "Sexy Time Explosion". Think of Ozzy Osbourne bringing the Ramones AND the Village People back to life. Very charismatic. Stillman was injured moshing, but at his age he deserves it!
Because we couldn't have loud music until after 9 PM lest the adjacent restaurant's customers have their rib-chewing disturbed: Acoustic troubador does solo speed metal act: "Meth Leopard." Astounding.
"Can somebody hand me down the microphone?"
Stillman, looking fifteen years younger?
The King bearing gift King?
Two Elvi and the King of Las Vegas Longboarding?!?
