WINE UP @ THE WILTERN!
Garasite is a French term, that means artisan. It is the word, that described the Garagiste Wine Fest- that took place, last week at the marble encased Wiltern Theater. The fest has taken place for five years now, since 2011. The fest promoted an explorer taste of fine wine and a anti-snob tone, that would make either generation of the Ghostbusters proud.
The amazing thing about the dozens of wine tasted, is the uniqueness of all the brands.
One of the best marketed is Paso Port’s Ruby wine. A red wine, who’s sexy Latina Model on the cover sheet, is there -in order to attract men and lesbians. There were three more brands including Angelica, Violita and Tawny. The models don’t really exist and were created by the artist, to create a true full bodied look
and feel ,for the aroma of the wine.
Bertha Mae was a brownie company, that hoped to use its brownie gift baskets, that are to be sold in wine stories. The samples were pretty tasty. The Chocolate Stache sold spicy chocolate bites, which used the wine to cool down its sweet and sour taste in your mouth. A quirky old Paul Hogan type, of the Australian Kitchen proudly serves a tangy tomato sauce that is used on Hot dogs and “breakfast eggs.”
The great surprise is the sole black winery, Theopolis Vineyards. Near Sonoma County, the vineyards are run by Theodora Lee, a trial lawyer who runs the place on the side. Their best wine, is called Symphony- a white wine taste is similar, to fine Vitamin Water with a rich wetness.
The worst thing at the event is a guy who- looked like Brad Sherwood, playing Jason from his new Jason show. Mostly, his bigoted lying cunt lady friend of his sucks, due to their rudeness. He was nice and cordial, at first.The worst wine was a Cabernet Sauvigon called Prism. It is too bitter and oaky to enjoy,despite an elegant design sticker with dark bottling.

TRASHY MMA SHOW KINGDOM, RENEWED FOR THIRD SEASON.
The "KINGDOM" cast features Frank Grillo ("Captain America"), Kiele Sanchez ("The Purge"), Matt Lauria("Friday Night Lights"), Jonathan Tucker ("Parenthood"), Nick Jonas, Joanna Going ("House of Cards") and Natalie Martinez ("Secrets and Lies"). Creator, writer and showrunner Byron Balasco serves as executive producer. "KINGDOM" is produced by Endemol Shine Studios.
"The success of season 2 of KINGDOM proves how captivating this series is and how viewers have invested and connected with the characters' lives," said Christopher Long, senior vice president, Original Content and Production, AT&T. "Byron Balasco has been at the helm of this gritty mixed martial arts family drama since its inception and has showcased heart wrenching topics that no other show on television has had the strength to touch. We couldn't be happier to have Byron on for another season and have no doubt that he will create a compelling storyline that no one will forget."
"KINGDOM is a very special series with exceptional writing and leadership from Byron Balasco and one of the most talented top-to-bottom ensemble casts in all of television," says Endemol Shine Studios President Sharon Hall. "We're thrilled to extend our partnership with the team at AT&T AUDIENCE Network and deliver a 3rd season of a series that both critics and viewers globally have enthusiastically embraced."
"I'm beyond grateful to AT&T and to Endemol Shine for allowing us to continue on," said Balasco. "I am in awe of this incredible cast and inspired by the craft and creativity of my crew. We love making the show and feel like we've only scratched the surface. We're already back to work. Scripts are being written. Blood is being shed."
Season 2 continued to put up a fight with all of its players, throwing them back in the ring. In the first half of the 2nd season, troubled brothers Ryan and Nate's discovery of their drug-overdosed mother, Christina, puts them back in a whirlwind where their brotherly bond is placed in the forefront. Alvey, concerned that Nate will not find his rhythm as an MMA fighter, is blinded by his failing relationship with Lisa and the loss of their infant son. Ryan accepts a challenge that will test not only his physical endurance but also his relationship with his best friend. Nate is eager to get back into the cage to prove that he has what it takes to make it as a fighter. Jay faces another opportunity to defend his lightweight title despite his battle with addiction. Lisa's return puts both Alvey and the Navy St. MMA gym at stake.
During the 2nd half of season 2, which is currently airing on AUDIENCE Network every Wednesday 9 p.m. ET/PT, boundaries and relationships are being tested. Nate is ready to return to the cage to prove that he's still a viable fighter. Ryan continues to demonstrate his dominance at the gym while Nate attempts to drag Jay away from his new life with Ava. Alicia faces a career-defining decision that will alter her relationships with everyone at the gym. Alvey is stuck in a predicament with his connection with Roxanne and Lisa's return to Los Angeles. Strength and stamina are put to the ultimate test when Jay and Ryan are faced with a rematch, fighting for the title of the lightweight belt.
"KINGDOM" is distributed internationally by Endemol Shine International.
AT&T AUDIENCE Network is available on DIRECTV Ch. 239 or U-verse TV Ch. 1114 and via live streaming on the DIRECTV and U-verse apps.

DISH PLAYS HARBALL ON TRIBUNE/CW AFFILATES ON ITS SYSTEM.
Dish Network for the 12th time (in three years,) has knocked out a huge station group-off its programming slate. Local CW station KTLA, started running (like the other 42 Tribune owned stations, hitting 50 million homes) toll free hotlines to focre Dish, back to the negotionag table to keep giving viewers what they need.
This deals a serous blow to WGN America, just as its establishing itself- as a major player of quality programing, with the accliamed Undeground and white trash soap, Outsiders.
The usual spiel from Dish, this move is to save the customers money, from ever increasing rate from seflish and greedy Cable netwroks, lining their own pockets.
"We want to keep servicing our local communities and we have repeatedly offered Dish a lengthy extension to continue negotiations—unfortunately, Dish rejected these offers," stated Tribune Media's senior vice president of corporate relations,Gary Weitman.
Tribune's other stations, are big network affilates.The Dish deal allowed- Viewers to miss Hamilton's run,at Tony glory in major CBS markets.Plus, viewers missed the NBA finals, on their ABC channels.
Weitman concedes,"We've offered the same kind of fair market rates that Dish already pays other local station groups with ABC, CBS, NBC and CW affiliates with top-rated local news, and other similarly valued cable networks,"
