iPhone your wine
I'm deep in the throes of upgrading to either an iPhone, the Droid or a Blackberry as my Holiday present to myself. That's not true. I'm not bothering with the Blackberry. It's not sexy. By Cathie Beck—The Wine Wench

Welcoming the return of Winterfest beer and other seasonal brews
So when does the holiday season arrive, anyway? For me, the season begins when I can order a winter beer at the neighborhood tavern, or pick up a limited-edition six-pack at the liquor store. By Jay Dedrick

The best of the box sets for the holidays

Dave on film: Fantastic Mr. Fox is exactly that
If you're looking for something with a terrific visual style, witty visuals and dialog, and a story that operates at a number of levels, I'll recommend you check out Fantastic Mr. Fox. By Dave Taylor
