As if my world doesn't revolve around wine enough


Griffin Technologies has allowed my love of wine to expand to new parts of my life. Yesterday I received my new iPhone Elanform via UPS.

The case is a polycarbon (or some kind of plastic!) shell with an exterior made of actual cork. Now how about that for a wine lover? It makes my phone a little thicker, and prevents me from using the dock that it came with, but more importantly it will hopefully protect my phone from getting banged and scratched up should I - forbid - drop it at any point.

So I know some might squawk about how this takes away from the aesthetic of the iPhone, the silvery, streamlined, shiny state that Apple has become so good at producing and marketing. I'm not really bothered though because this reflects something more about me Where some other leather or latex case might take away from the product, I think this is an acceptable addition.

I'd love to know what you all think.

What do people think? I think anyone so caught up in Apple aesthetics that he´d criticize someone´s accessories ought to get himself a life sometime soon, and maybe look up the meaning of the word "accessory" in a dictionary. He might find his own picture there. Jeez.

We´ve found some really amazing wine here lately, Ryan. A Tempranillo (tinto)called "Condominium," and a delicate, nosey white Toro (denomination de origen) wine called "Colegiata." When I discover somthing new and tasty I always think of you!
