Everyone is in this together, this slow creep towards the end of summer. The spiders spin furiously.

Dark Chocolate Red Wine Truffles
PURE HEAVEN. That’s all you really need to know.
I suggest using a metal cookie scoop to form the truffles. I tried a melon baller, tablespoon, and plastic cookie scoop and they were all somewhat difficult to use. Coat your hands in the cocoa powder before hand rolling the truffles.
I suggest making these at least a day before eating so that the wine flavor intensifies. Best consumed on day three for maximum wine flavor. You should be able to keep them for a week but they never last that long! — posted by Pomtini

7-Eleven’s Newest Plug? Wine
Two Buck Chuck better watch its back – it’s about to face some stiff competition. On Tuesday, 7-Eleven announced its plans to release value wines in the United States and Japan.
7-Eleven will launch two proprietary California wines – a Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon – to roughly 15,000 outlets under the Yosemite Road label. They will each retail for $3.99.
The Chardonnay is described as having notes of apricot and peach, while the Cabernet will have “juicy plum overtones.” So if you’re missing your favorite stone fruits from Summer, perhaps it’s about time to reach for some Yosemite Road wine. Would you fork over $4 for convenience-store vino?
