Wine & Cats & Music with a touch of nonsense Lonely Planet called our boutique store, La Cava del Barrio, the best wine shop in Santiago (Chile)

Simpson's meme where in the top panel a man is talking on the phone and says "We need all the Jerry we can get"; then in the bottom panel he changes his mind, "uh, not that much Jerry"

This was the closest I got to Kylie at her August 2025 concert here in Santiago, Chile. She's raising one arm high and her head is raises as she sings with all of her heart, wearing a bright red outfit.

Four bowls of different shapes filled with mountains of palta from our tree! This is the first time in 10 years that the tree has blessed us with this bounty (couldn't tell you the story beyond 10 years)
5 year old male black cat for scale with a black earthenware bowl absolutely filled with smallish but quite tasty paltas (avocados, but they are paltas...)
Yeah, if you're an English speaker, you'll get the joke. Very few of our Chilean clients get the joke and I don't usually try to explain it, either. If you know, you know, right? But the label is an illustration of Iggy Pop and his three stooges, where Iggy has his arm around two of his band mates (while the 4th member is looking from over his shoulder). Iggy is wearing a leather jacket but he's barechested, where the 4 grapes used in this blend are identified: Rousanne, Viognier, Semillion and Marsanne Above Iggy's head in orange-yellow letters is the name of the wine, "Four Skins", and underneath that in smaller letters we have the name of the winery, L'Entremetteuse, the identification of the valley (Colchagua). This is Vol 5 from 2022 Every year we get a different punk group on the label; I'll have to find pictures of the previous vintages

Our new store! The 3rd version of La Cava del Barrio (We don't have 3 stores; this is v 3.0) Video taken from outside the new store at night. At first you can see neon sign logo (three bottles, the one in the middle colored yellow, the two flanking that one in white, with a yellow circle around it and LA CAVA DEL BARRIO -- our store name -- underneath) The store is illuminated from inside with a cozy, yellowish-light. You can see one of barrels we turned into a stand (with bottles on top and visible inside on the shelves we installed). Our crystal chandelier is visible in part, behind the logo. The backwall shelves with the bottles are clearly visible The the video swoops up to the window so that you can get a better look at the interior and everything I've described
We found a new burger place called Hobest Mike with a hard rock / metal ambience and one of the walls is decorated with old speakers and boomboxes. So I decided to act out the cover to the 2006 album from Nightmares on Wax, In A Space Outta Sound
Famous meme where a really muscular, but shorter dude, has a beer in his hand and has literally cornered a blonde woman who does not appear to be enjoying the attention AT ALL, like she's thinking "how the hell can I get out of this?" BUT, it's poking fun at Tool, because the muscular dude is saying "He wrote a song to the Fibonacci sequence, the Fibonacci sequence is a mathematical sequence"... and it just goes on, since for Tool bros, it's very important that you understand the deep thought and meaning that goes behind a Tool song...
This is a screenshot from Argentine TV that shows part of the queque waiting to pay their respects to Indio Solari. When I took the screencapture about 20 minutes ago they were saying the queque was 80 blocks long, now it's 90 blocks long At 9:45 local time the family gave instruction to open the gates where the viewing is taking place
Three tombstones of favorites that went down this week in round 1: Zero 7's SIMPLE THINGS; Gotan Project's LA REVANCHA DEL TANGO; and Firewater's PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY
Kylie Minogue in red on the stage during her August 2025 concert here in Santiago Chile. I got lucky with this photo, as the light hit the disco ball just right to create an explosion of reflected beams that I caught in this photo
The famous Wesley Snipes meme where he's crying but he's going to shoot someone anyway. That's me voting against Zero 7's SIMPLE THINGS, but I have to support Kylie
Pie chart showing that as of a few moments ago, 149 votes have been cast and Jay Z's THE BLUEPRINT has a slight, but real, 53/47 lead against Gotan Project's LA REVANCHA DEL TANGO
This is the famous (down here anyway) cover to PELICULAS, the '77 album by La Maqúina de Hacer Pájaros, which shows the band coming out of a movie theater. It's very colorful, it's not a photorealistic picture, but rather a stylized painting. In the foreground there is a man in a yellow suit who is holding under his arm the same image as the album art, so it creates an "infinite mirror" effect
Photo of a wine called “Frankie” by winemakers Cristian Goich. In the center is the face of a lobotomized green deer with red antlers and a psychedelic explosion of flowers and colorful effects behind the deer
Bill Murray from Stripes, pointing at you, yes you! Urging you to vote for the Super Furry Animals today
Went out to eat this evening and on the way back to the car found this mural / graffiti of the Gorillaz on the wall of a building here in Santiago, Chile. One of them is pictured sleeping at a the table; another is showing the V sign, a third stares with shark like eyes and the largest one stares down at trophies from the Viña Del Mar Festival

Extract about the release of Andrew WK's I get wet, but the important part is that it says "I Get Wet" came out in Europe on November 13, 2001, but wasn't released in America until March 26, 2002")
So Jorge Drexler has to move from the auxiliary stage in the back of the ground level of the arena and return to the main stage. We are right next to the smaller stage and have been enjoying the 6 or 7 songs he performs in close proximity. Then he wants to return to the main stage. I have an aisle seat. I had obviously turned to watch him up close but I swear gentle reader that I did not move into the aisle at any time A cameraman has to film Jorge and back peddle to do so. You will see that Jorge comes exactly at me (I am still at my spot; again, I never move into the aisle) and while fixated on Drexler the cameraman runs right into me.
One of the last songs of the evening was “Ante La Duda, Baila” (“When in Doubt, Dance”). This clip is where the percussionists are improvising. They were fantastic
Jorge Drexler with his guitar. He’s wearing a dark grey short sleeve shirt and grey pleated pants of a lighter shade
the famous "Predactor Handshake" meme, in this case with Ted Leo's "Stove by a Whale" song and Mecano's "Heroes de la Antartida" shaking hands with the title, "Wrecked at Sea"
The label of this wine is a lovely painting of a fox laying down In the middle of a road with a starry sky above. My glass with the wine poured is right next to it with a lovely orange color.
With 94 votes already cast, the Langley kids are ahead with 52,1% of the vote vs. Ben Folds' 47,9%

Someone’s bracket name is “life’s not a bitch, Life is a beautiful bracket, you only call her a bitch because your prediction skills can’t hack it”
Here's the promotional "poster" that appeared on social media for the benefit concert that Erlend Oye performed in the wake of the 2017 fires that devastating the winemaking region of Itata here in Chile. It's an illustration of Oye holding his guitar and strumming it, with informatoin on the concert printed around him. It was held on 31 January 2017 at 20:00 hours in Parque Bicentenario in Vitacura.
Photo of the spiral-back notebook with Remedio Varo's neat handwritting in pencil in Spanish. My post(s) are translating the writing, but the original goes as follows: Para provocar seuños eróticos Ingredientes Un kilo de raiz fuerte Tres gallinas blancas Una cabez de ajo Cuatro kilos de miel Un espejo Dos higados de ternera Un ladrillo Dos pinzas para ropa Un corsé con ballenas --> NOTE THAT IT DOES NOT SAY "WHALEBONE", IT LITERALLY SAYS "WHALE CORSET" Dos bigotes postizos Sombreros al gusto

When you almost put your foot through the floor you have to hire someone to cut out holes and put in new planks. Here crack handy man Melvin is literally cutting a hole in the floor so that we can put in new planks.
It's in Spanish, but here's the note we put on our social media and on the door: It says "Closed due to move to new store. Our store will be closed to the public between Thursday 26 Feb and Tuesday 03 March." Our logo underneath, "LA CAVA DEL BARRIO" with three bottles surrounded by an (oak barrel simulating) circle. That notice is placed on one of my very favorite photos of the store, where the shelves on both sides are visible.
