Don Julio 1942 Tequila Anejo Review

Don Julio 1942’s golden tinge is showcased masterfully through the design of the bottle, which does not adorn or otherwise obfuscate the nectar that is contained within. After cracking into the bottle, imbibers will be approached with a nose that soars on the presence of sugar and molasses and more complex sub-notes of caramel and chocolate. Don Julio is absolutely unique when it comes to tequilas, and this…

The Intouchables DVD Review

This 2011 French-language film was a huge success in Europe, and I believe that the film’s plot will speak to American audiences in the same way. The duo – Francois Cluzet (Philippe) and Omar Sy (Driss) – has tremendous chemistry together. Driss is on unemployment and comes into Philippe’s life merely to get job search papers signed. By putting a wager of one week of service on the line,…
