A 'graceful, heavenly' Champagne 'at a down to earth price' (according to wine writer, Matthew Jukes). This classic grower's Champagne, made predominantly from Premier Cru vines near Reims, is crisp, dry and biscuity.
"Clean as a whistle and made from 25 per cent Chardonnay, 25 per cent Pinot Noir and 50 per cent Pinot Meunier, this is the perfect apéritif wine. The perky acidity and oodles of verve will slice through all number of tricky canapés, and it is a design classic with oysters. Fantastic value, too, Dumangins wines are all great value."

'A blend of equal parts Roussanne and Clairette, this sensational white wine boasts a delicate color along with a big, sweet nose of rose petals, tangerine oil, honeyed citrus and quince. This full-bodied, crisp, well-balanced effort displays good acidity as well as a touch of minerality. This is a super white to drink over the next 4-5 years although my instincts suggest it will last longer. RP 94/100, drink 2011-2016
The 1995 remains closed, but promising. Its garnet/plum/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of roasted herbs, black cherries, incense, licorice, iodine, and earth. Medium to full-bodied, structured, and muscular, it is still youthful and exuberant, with plenty of tannin to shed. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2014 - 90/100 Robert Parker
Le Vieux Donjon's 1999 Chateauneuf du Pape offers soaring aromas of barbecue spice, licorice, herbs, tar, black cherries, and blackberries. This powerful, rich, full-bodied effort is more up-front and accessible than most vintages, but there is no compromise in the richness and mouthfilling characteristics consistently offered by this estate. Drink this sexy, compelling 1999 between 2004-2020. 91/100 Robert Parker
"The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape represents an educational tour of the southern Rhone, in particular, Chateauneuf du Pape. It possesses all the appellation's classic components ... underbrush, garrigue, licorice, pepper, lavender, sweet black cherries, and incense. Extremely perfumed and heady, this full-bodied, moderately tannic offering comes close to matching the mass and blockbuster power of the 1998. Firm tannin in the finish suggests a long aging curve." Robert Parker
The powerful 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape comes closest in character to the 1990 (which is still drinking beautifully). Its dark ruby/plum/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of resiny pine forest interwoven with creme de cassis, black cherries, melted licorice, and smoky herbs. In the mouth, gamy, meaty flavors emerge along with black currants, cherries, and a hint of the sushi wrapper called nori. Full, rich, and moderately tannic, this 2003 requires another 1-3 years of bottle age, and should keep for 12-15 years. 94/100 Robert Parker
The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape is similar in style to their 1999 but with more power. A cedary, sweet bouquet of herbes de Provence, roasted meats, kirsch liqueur, resiny notes, and perhaps incense as well, jumps from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, fragrant, savory style of wine. Its tannins are present and persistent but sweet and well-integrated. The wine reveals outstanding concentration, purity, and plenty of Provencal typicity. It should drink well for 10-15 years. 90/100 Robert Parker
'The 2008 Châteauneuf du Pape is certainly a strong effort for the vintage. Classic notes of kirsch, plum, spice box, cedar, and garrigue are accompanied by deep fruit, an attractive dark ruby/plum color, and surprising body as well as depth for a 2008. It should drink well young, and evolve for up to a decade. Drink 2009-2019, 88-90pts. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
'The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is dominated by Grenache with major amounts of Mourvedre, Syrah and other authorized varietals. Its dense ruby/plum color is followed by aromas of smoked meats, roasted Provencal herbs, a gamy character and lots of kirsch, black currant and blue fruits. Rich and full-bodied, it is softer than most young vintages of Vieux Donjon tend to be, and should drink well for 12-15 years. Now that Lucien Michel has inched his way into retirement, his young daughter, Claire, who did an apprenticeship at Napas Harlan Estate, is in full control of the winemaking (another exa

Look for it to drink well for another 2 years." 94/100. Robert Parker

A mid-weight, easy drinking wine with aromas of red fruit, spicy undertones and a soft, rounded finish.
Pale, crisp and bone dry with a clean, almost briney, palate and delicate sea air bouquet.
Typically the Chave Hermitage blanc exhibits diverse aromas of apricots, honeysuckle, white peaches and grilled nuts and an equally complex palate of candied citrus fruits, honey, vanilla, almonds and minerals underscored by a fine acidity which imparts its great longevity. This is a wine that can close down and become somewhat mute in adolescence (at around 5-7 years of age) but that then re-emerges at around 10 years-old showing even greater concentration and complexity.
The 1987 white Hermitage is light bodied, and an excellent, round, ripe wine with an attractive honeyed, peachlike bouquet intertwined with the smell of spring flowers (acacias?). In the mouth, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with beautiful clarity, impeccable cleanliness, and a long, rich finish. It is delicious. 87/100 Robert Parker
The 1989 Hermitage Blanc is low in acidity, expansive, and weighty, and makes for a huge, chewy mouthful of white wine. The honeyed, somewhat unctuous personality of the wine is more dominant in the 1989 than in the 1988, but there remains the head-turning, beautiful, flowery aromas, sensational concentration, super ripeness, and low acidity. Chave believes the latter component is always a characteristic of the greatest Hermitage vintages. 92/100 Robert Parker
I retasted the 1993 white Hermitage, which is an amazing success for this horrendous vintage. The wine exhibits good ripeness, excellent freshness, some of the honeyed, white flower character (acacia?), medium body, and a crisp, long finish. 88/100 Robert Parker
"A retasting of the 1998 Hermitage blanc confirmed its brilliant quality. It is an elegant, floral-scented, structured white Hermitage. It boasts fabulous concentration, but is less flattering and precocious than either the 1999 or 2000. 92/100." Robert Parker
"I tasted component parts of the 2001 Hermitage blanc. Aromas of acacia flowers, honeysuckle, and citrus were followed by a medium to full-bodied white with loads of glycerin as well as heady fruit and alcohol. Elegant, medium to full-bodied, and crisper, it is more obviously backward than the 2000." 92-94/100 Robert Parker
The 2002 Hermitage blanc exhibits abundant amounts of acacia flowers, honeyed citrus, and a hint of orange marmalade in a ripe, elegant, medium-bodied style. Because of its low acidity, it is best consumed during its first 5-7 years of life. What Chave accomplished in the extremely challenging 2002 vintage is unquestionably noteworthy. Not because of tiny yields and small grapes, but due to Chaves decision to eliminate every grape except the very best, 2002 is a small crop. 90/100 Robert Parker
"The exuberant 2007 Hermitage Blanc reveals notes of petroleum, crushed rocks, earth, white currants and peaches, an unctuous texture, high glycerin and good acidity. This big, thick white Hermitage will not be as long lived as the 2009, but for drinking over the next two decades, it is impossible to resist. Jean-Louis and Gerard Chave opened a bottle of the 2003 Hermitage Blanc to give me an idea of how this vintage is aging. This monumental offering, which flirts with perfection, has virtually no acidity and is aging beautifully. The Chaves believe it is a repeat of what Gerards father made
Typically, red Chave Hermitage exhibits aromas of dark, autumnal fruit and black pepper with undertones of mushrooms, game and leather. The palate, which can be taught and quite closed in youth, shows wonderful complexity with maturity and diverse flavours of red and black berries, plums, pepper and spices combine over a background of rugged tannins to produce a profound wine of amazing structure and delineation.
The 1992 red Hermitage exhibits a leanness combined with bitter tannin in an otherwise medium-bodied, attractive, ripe wine. 88/100 Robert Parker
One of the candidates for the Rhone Valleys wine of the vintage is Chaves 2002 Hermitage. A draconian selection has resulted in a deep ruby/purple-colored offering revealing sweet notes of melted licorice, briery berries, earth, and herbs. Medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant, and intense, this forward-styled Hermitage appears to be better than the 1992, 1993, and 1994, which are all fine wines that are holding up well. The 2002 should be at its peak between 2005-2015. What Chave accomplished in the extremely challenging 2002 vintage is unquestionably noteworthy. Not because of tiny yields
"Superior to the 2007, the 2006 Hermitage reminds me of Chaves brilliant 1991. An incredibly subtle perfume of black raspberries, creme de cassis, camphor, and acacia flowers is followed by an elegant, concentrated wine with beautifully integrated acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol. This seamless, gorgeously-proportioned, large-framed wine represents the definition of finesse, elegance, and terroir. It will be drinkable in several years, and should last for 20-25 years. " 96 points. Robert Parker - Wine Advocate, April 2009.
This organic vin blanc is produced in lamentably small volumes! It has a bouquet of wild herbs and flowers and a savoury palate of russet apples and conference pears with subtle mineral undertones.
A dense, dark, complex, age-worthy, antediluvian offering that is ideal with braised game dishes.
Irouléguy: Domaine Illaria - A deep red wine with a bouquet of black cherries and spices with vigorous youthful tannins (reminiscent of young Cornas) and underlying dark fruit flavours.
With a light, fruity palate when young, this dry Jasnières wine obtains a unique smooth taste as it matures. In the finest vintages it is headily decadent with complex mineral undertones and succulent, honeyed tinges.

This spectacular, aromatic Riesling exhibits classic candied citrus and kerosene notes with an intense palate of lime leaf and minerals underscored by a zesty acidity and a long, powerful finish.
This wine is spectacularly concentrated and represents an exceptional expression of cooler climate Australian Shiraz.
"This wine is spectacularly concentrated and represents an exceptional expression of cooler climate Australian Shiraz. The 2003 Shiraz Georgias Paddock exhibits an inky/blue/purple color along with a big, sweet nose of lead pencil shavings interwoven with charcoal, blackberries, cassis, licorice, and a touch of oak. This larger than life, multi-layered, intense, pure Shiraz possesses supple tannin, giving it a certain accessibility even though it will have 10-15 years of aging potential." Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, October 2005.
"From a top-notch estate in Victorias Heathcote region, the dense ruby/purple-colored 2004 Shiraz Georgias Paddock offers up scents of licorice, white pepper, cassis, and new barrel smells. Full-bodied, rich, and heady, its big, earthy style reflects the Cambrian soils of Heathcote. It should drink well for a decade." 90. Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, December 2006.
"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2010 Georgias Paddock Shiraz has a pronounced nose of black cherries, creme de cassis, black pepper and loam with hints of coffee, anise and yeast extract. Medium to full-bodied and with a great concentration of spicy / peppery black fruit flavors, it has just enough acid and a medium to firm level of velvety tannins, finishing long. Its a wonderfully elegant expression of this vineyard. Though approachable now, it should drink best 2014 to 2024+." Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate, June 2012.
This impressive organic Viognier from Jasper Hill has beguiling honeysuckle scents and a wonderfully expressive citrus-edged palate.
"They are of very high quality and deserve readers attention. Hopefully my prose has convinced more than a handful of readers to try these remarkable wines from one of the most fascinating and compelling personalities in the entire wine world, and one dedicated to the highest quality." 96/100. Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate. A knock-out bouquet of graphite, crushed rocks, blueberries, and blackberries is followed by a full-bodied Syrah with formidable concentration, good acidity, and tremendous intensity as well as length.
'Occam's Razor' Shiraz represents an accessible, relatively forward-drinking, entry level to the Laughton oeuvre and is packed with juicy autumnal fruit flavours over a couch of ripe tannins.
A golden hued wine with attractive citrus fruit aromas and a rich palate redolent of pineapple, peaches, grapefruit and honey offset by a fine acidity on a seductively sweet finish.

Like a French pommeau this is a judicious blend of apple juice and Cider Brandy. Made from traditional, West Country Kingston Black apples this refreshing aperitif should be served chilled. Wonderful ripe apple aromas precede a sweet, invigorating palate of fresh orchard fruit. (50cl bottle).
This popular, sweet Burgundian liqueur is made from Williams pears macerated in sugar and alcohol. Traditionally this is drunk chilled (with or without ice cubes) either as an aperitif or as a digestif. (70cl bottle).

This traditional Marc which is distilled from spent Burgundian grape skins, after they have been pressed to produce wine, has an attractive fruity bouquet and a warming palate with subtle, spicy undertones. It makes for a versatile digestif and reliable stand-by for re-filling hip-flasks.
A delightfully fruity white Menetou Salon wine with delicate floral aromas. The atypically ripe, juicy style of Loire Sauvignon is almost certainly influenced by the year that Patricia Teiller and husband Olivier Luneau (who now run the estate) spent winemaking in New Zealand.
A benchmark Pinot Noir from Domaine Jean Teiller with red berry fruit flavours, supple tannins and a racy acidity.
Pale salmon in colour, this delicate, dry rosé wine from Domaine Jean Teiller has a palate is redolent of raspberries and strawberries prior to a clean, fresh finish.

Primary red fruit flavours are supported by crisp tannins and earthy, gamey, richer notes.
There's Muscadet, and then there's Muscadet. The Chereau's bone dry Muscadet 'de Sevre et Maine' and 'Sur Lie' has been consistently excellent since we first shipped it 40 years ago. Not only is it a briny, failsafe accompaniment to all manner of fruits de mer, but it is readily identifiable by its distinctive label designed by Quentin Blake, depicting a sporting Bacchanalian couple.
With a heady bouquet of orange blossom and apricots and a wonderfully honeyed palate of ripe peaches and yellow plums this hedonistic sweet, golden Muscat wine is delicious with all manner of fruit-based desserts and makes for a superb bonne bouche at the end of a meal. Interestingly, it also makes for a fine accompaniment to strong blue cheeses.
An outstanding, aromatic, sweet wine with a heady orange blossom bouquet. The beautifully balanced palate offers luscious, white summer fruits.
Its well worth trying this South Australian version of a typically Southern Rhône blend of Grenache & Shiraz. The wine is supple and understated by Aussie standards, thereby working well with a range of cuisine.
Expressive, lime-tinged, tangy Riesling from Neagles Rock, whose zesty style is protected by a screw-cap closure.
A powerful, opulent Premier Cru that requires a few years bottle-age before it will begin to reveal a multitude of red fruit, leather, truffle and game flavours.

"The stunning 2010 St.-Joseph ranks alongside the finest wines of the appellation, including Guigals lHospice and Chapoutiers Les Granits. It boasts a dense purple color along with scents of kirsch, blackberries, crushed rocks, spring flowers and licorice. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age and should drink well for 15+ years thereafter." RP 93, drink 2014-2029. Robert Parker, December 2012.

This crisp, white Saumur wine that is produced from Chenin blanc on the chalky soils of Anjou is a firm favourite with Yapp customers and staff alike.

"Awesome System"
Got an XL18i and it's been great. Wonderful installation crew made sure install was done right. Electric bill dropped by over $120 per month from my prior unit which was a 15 year old Rheem. Can't say enough good things: looks great, very quiet, no repairs and saving me big bucks. If anyone is having warranty issues you need to pick the right installer: it's likely there was an installation error.

"Rock Solid"
Had a Trane XR16i installed three years ago. Works great. Features like ComfortR are fantastic. I had a concern with this a/c upgrade that the system may cool the house too quickly and that we would get humidity issues. Our last a/c was undersized and ran constantly, while inefficient it did dehumidify the air. The ComfortR feature ramps up the fan speed in stage allows for more dehumidified air getting circulated. Its worked great. Great quality and service.

Can't say enough good things about this air conditioner. The current heat wave is proving a real test(heat index over 110) and our Trane XR15 is doing a great job. Its quite, efficient and have never given us a problem. The best thing I can say is that we never think about it.

I know that I have had my Trane unit for at least 20 years - maybe more - and it has been incredibly reliable all these years. I never serviced it regularly and still had only 2 or 3 service calls on it in all those years. It has been a real workhorse and I'm sorry to see it go!

Replaced a 7 year old Carrier junk pile that died after only 7 years - No Warranty coverage, despite yearly maintenance. Replaced A/C system with Trane XR15, also upgraded thermostat to TR900 to do a better job of managing humidity(another Carrier flaw). Great system for close to 5 years. Quite and dependable - very impressed with Trane and the HVAC Company that did the install.

"Trane A/C"
Late last year had a new Trane A/C System installed. The XR15 has done a great job. Now that we are hitting the high humidity summer months I am working with my contractor to deal with higher than acceptable humidity in the house. Our prior system was undersized so it ran all the time, while inefficient it did have the benefit of removing allot of humdity. The new system, while sized correctly, does not run long eneough to remove the same amount of humdity. The contracor has been great, the came out and reset some of the Comfort-R settings. I also started running a dehudifier in the basement this week. We'll see how it goes. Been impressed with the installer and the Trane hardware.

"Service like no other"
Bought a Trane 8 eight years ago. After three years the compressor went. Was very upset, but the service company and Trane covered the replacement at no charge. Even labor and recharging. That's the only issue I've ever had in eight years and it was handled professionally and with no hassle.

Oakland learned Monday evening it will host Morehead State Feb. 23 at the O'rena for ESPN's Bracketbusters, its second season participating in the series. The 5 p.m. game was not one of those selected for television broadcast and the meeting will be the first between the programs.
The Eagles (11-13), who hail from the Ohio Valley Conference, are just 3-10 in road games this season.
"It will be a competitive game," Oakland coach Greg Kampe said. "Having another home game is what I'm happy about.
"It's a name coming to the O'rena."
The Golden Grizzlies have just 12 home games this season after beginning the season with 15 of their first 19 games on the road.
Oakland (11-13) had an official NCAA RPI of 147 after Saturday's win over Summit League newcomer Omaha. Ratings Percentage Index, or RPI, is used to pair Bracketbusters participants as it also the measuring stick employed by the NCAA tournament selection committee. Morehead State is ranked at No. 160.
"They have a pretty good history the last couple years," Kampe said. "They're like us, young and rebuilding."
The ESPN-backed series was created in 2003 with the intent of helping so-called "mid-major" college hoops teams qualify for at-large bids to the NCAA tournament with national exposure.
Teams who win their conference tournament receive an automatic bid to the tournament, but others are relegated to "at-large" status. Smaller schools benefit from a higher RPI because, in theory, it increases their likelihood of qualifying for the NCAA tournament without winning a conference tournament title. League champions from mid-major conferences, which the Summit League is considered to be, are also helped by higher RPI in NCAA tournament seeding.
The Summit League, formerly the Mid-Continent Conference, has not had a team receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament since 1991. Oakland has qualified for the NCAA tournament three times: 2005, 2010 and 2011 — each time as a conference tournament champion. Continued...
Oakland took part in the multi-league challenge last season for just the first time since the series' inception. ESPN has announced Bracketbusters will not continue after this season, however Oakland is obligated to return games from this and last season as part of a deal the Summit League, Oakland's conference, made while enlisting its member schools.
The Grizzlies lost a four-point game at Illinois State of the Missouri Valley Conference last season, a game which was sandwiched between the final games of conference play. That scheduling predicament also exists this season, as Oakland hosts Fort Wayne March 2 after a week off following the Bracketbusters matchup.
The Grizzlies are contractually obligated to make a return visit to Morehead State within the next two seasons.
Oakland's conference rival South Dakota State was awarded a TV game for the second straight season. The Jackrabbits visit Murray State Feb. 23, while conference co-leader North Dakota State will play in the league's other broadcast game, at Akron Feb. 22.
Summit League teams are 9-12 all-time and went 4-6 last season in Bracketbusters play.
Oakland's Bracketbusters game will force a Saturday doubleheader at Oakland's O'rena for just the second time this season. The Summit League eliminated men's-women's doubleheaders through the adoption of "mirror" scheduling, which places each of the school's basketball teams against a common opponent on the same day, but at the opposite venue.
— Oakland forward Drew Valentine was selected as Summit League Player of the Week for the first time in his career. He shares the award with Fort Wayne's Frank Gaines after Valentine scored 14 points and collected a career-high 16 rebounds in Oakland's win over Omaha Saturday.

Bought these and was really impressed. Sturdy and good quality with nice design. Will definitely be adding more to our collection in the future.

A must have for your bar
After searching several places for the perfect glass, I knew I got it right as soon as I unwrapped the first one. These glasses are perfectly weighted at the bottom and have just the right thickness at the lip. The palm etching is beautifully done and we proudly display them on our open bar shelf.

This product is perfect for any cocktail.
These glasses are perfectly weighted and the hand etching is remarkable.
April 14, 2013
Great bar glasses-elegant and fun, too!
The only downside is that they should be heavier in weight. My other Tommy B. glasses have more heft which I love.

Great Old Fashioned Glass
I already have 12 of the red wine glasses. I was thrilled with the addition of the old-fashioned glasses. They have a nice weight and are just beautiful. A great addition to my crystal collection.
February 26, 2013
Very nice addition to bar
Slightly oversized, great for "on the rocks" drinks. Much better than expected.

Beautiful Palm Etched Glasses!!
Unfortunately, the "grip size" of the glass was not accommodating to the giftee and they were returned, with a heavy heart since they are so beautiful and perfect for a man with a tan....who loves a great whisky drink...
The good news - he purchased the Weekend Cigar Case and became the Happy Tan Man!!

Nicotine addiction is one of the major challenges smokers face when trying to quit smoking. In its support, http://electroniccigarettehub.org is distributing free electronic cigarette starter kits under its try before buy campaign.
(PRWEB) November 17, 2012
"I think this product is amazing and I just hope more people decide to try it and never look back!" exclaimed Neil regarding his electronic cigarettes.
Just like Neil, hundreds and thousands – maybe even millions – of people are swearing by the effectiveness of this e cigarette device sweeping up the world by storm.

Primarily, e cigs were designed to help wean off tobacco smokers from the nasty habit, so that they may be on their way to healthier versions of themselves. There was much doubt and curiosity about this product so boldly promising what other smoking cessation products have failed to it. Several years since it first launched in the global market, however, it does look like it has so far managed to deliver on its promises, and that it is definitely here to stay.
Despite the positive reviews from users, however, there still remains a lot of doubt and questions as to its safety and effectiveness. There is also the issue on its effect on passive inhalers. Although the device is emitting water vapor instead of smoke (which is why it is also known as smokeless cigarettes), it is still yet to be declared conclusively as being safe enough for "second-hand vapers".
With tobacco cigarette, it has been concluded that second-hand smoke is just as – if not even more – dangerous than first-hand smoke. Consumers are therefore bound to ask: can the same be said of these vapor cigarettes?
To address this issue, Utah Vapers pursued a study, otherwise known as the Clearstrem Air study, to determine the real effect of e cigarettes on passive smokers. The conclusion stated that while passive vaping is inevitable with the use of e cigs, "the quality and quantity of chemicals released to the environment are by far less harmful for the human health compared to regular tobacco cigarettes."

Therefore, considering this factor of the liquid vapor not containing harmful ingredients, it goes to follow that passive vaping, or second-hand inhalation of the vapor, yields no danger to those around the direct user.
As it stands, the pursuit for the true benefits and safety of e cigarette use continue to this day. In the meantime, those who are interested to find out the real deal about best electronic cigarette reviews and buy electronic cigarettes may head over to http://electroniccigarettehub.org for more information.

Wee Wednesdsay: Tanis Knits
This blue sweater is a Sunnyside Cardigan, knit up in Peacock. And check out the perfect little star buttons!!
The other is the absolutely stunning baby dress, Clara. I've been eyeing this pattern for a while, and so glad that Tanis made one in this pretty shade of green. I'm not big on dressing little girls in head-to-toe pink, so I'm thrilled to have these beautiful colours in her future wardrobe:
Complete with a lovely vintage button at the back:
So beautiful. I can't wait until she's out in the world and I can see her in these awesome knits!

About Me Pro/Sponsored Player
I use this product for every battle i have. I have 2 other guns but this one is the best. It's powerful, it has amazing accuracy, it's light weight, (depends what kind of tank you have though), and it holds a lot of paintballs. Theres absolutely nothing that is bad about this gun. The only thing is that it runs out quick if your in a battle but o well. Over all this gun rocks!

Exclusive EcoSox construction wicks away moisture.
Moderate cushioning in ball/heel protects against blisters.
Arch Support for: better fit, support, fights fatigue.
Antimicrobial for bacteria and odor control.
Bamboo Facts:
Bamboo is grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers as it naturally resists pests
Bamboo has an overall excellent moisture absorption capacity.
Bamboo Fabric is naturally Ultra Violet (UV) resistant.
Bamboo has a soft feel.
Bamboo is durable.
Bamboo fabric is light weight and breathes.
Bamboo can regulate your body heat by keeping you dry.
Bamboo is environmentally (ECO) friendly.
Bamboo is 100 % biodegradable.
Its hard to believe that bamboo, which is actually a type of grass with hollow, jointed, woody stems, can be used as a raw material source for clothing. It's even harder to believe that this woven fiber can be turned into some of the softest clothing you can imagine. Try EcoSox bamboo socks for yourself.
One might reasonably imagine bamboo-based clothing to be scratchy and uncomfortable, the modern-day version of a hair shirt, something one might don when making penance in a medieval monastery. But fabric made from bamboo has a silky texture, environmentalists say. According to the National Geographic Green Guide, bamboo is an "a priori" eco-friendly material because it's naturally pest-resistant, requires little water, is amazingly regenerative and known to grow a foot a day. Bamboo also has a much lighter environmental impact than pesticide-laden conventional cotton and petroleum-derived nylon and polyester synthetics.
