The Curiosity rover has begun snooping about for evidence of life on Mars. I’ll be watching those pictures closely for evidence of wine on Mars. Paul Mantee’s character in Robinson Crusoe on Mars could have used a little martian vino, be it red or white.
Had Daniel Defoe’s earthbound Crusoe known he would be marooned for 28 years, he might have tried making some wine - if only for sacramental purposes. The 18th-century Crusoe got religion by reading the Bible while stranded. Imagine what he could have accomplished, inspired by a couple of issues of Wine Spectator.
Hollywood’s version of the desert island is Mars in the 1964 film billed as “scientifically authentic.” That must have referred to the Technicolor process, because little else seems to be very realistic. Tfh says the movie does borrow effects from “War of the Worlds” and “Destination Moon,” and the presentation is 1964-moderne,...

Kendall-Jackson Vineyard Estates CEO Rick Tigner took center stage on the latest "Undercover Boss" (Sun., 8 p.m. Est on CBS). The episode was as much about Tigner, who's been CEO less than a year, gaining a better understanding of the company he's been a part of for 20 years, and making sure it's fulfilling the legacy of its founder Jess Jackson, who passed away in April 2011.
Along the way, he met three employees he was very enthusiastic about, and one who concerned him greatly. Rene was one of his truck drivers and he had a very "me-centric" attitude and some issues with foul language. As penance, Rene wasn't lavished with gifts, but was instead stuck with office duty for a month so he could better understand that other side of the business. Ironically, he came up with a way to streamline their paperwork process that was so effective it was implemented company-wide.
