Today’s Pop Quiz: Today, name the wine region that produces the highest quality wine? Is it Finger Lakes, Napa Valley, Santa Barbara County or Willamette Valley?

TV News: 4 years ago Empire had 17.6 million viewers, last week it had 2.3 million. There’s still a lot prejudiced in Hollywood. This is unbelievable, a couple weeks ago, The Television Academy decided there were too many producer credits on the Office, so they automatically denied Mindy Kaling her producer credit. But since she proved she did the most work, they gave it back. I guess so. … TV binge watching was the rage a few years ago but the fad has played out, down 50%.                                            

TV and Sports Shorts: ESPN and A&E are fighting for the rights to do Biopic or Docudramas about  the 2 youngest women but, the biggest up-coming stars of the next Olympics. That would be 15 year old tennis sensation Coco Gauff, who just won her first World Championship. The other is 22 year old gymnast Simone Biles who last week became the most decorated gymnast in history. While they’re both young and not a lot of life to tell,  I believe there’s a lot of interest in both girls. F.Y.I., Simon has still not spoken to her brother who is in jail awaiting trial, charged with a triple homicide.

Odds and Ends: The new slang for cops, police officers is now L.E.O. It stands for Law Enforcement Officers, LEO’s. … Jane Fonda tells friends the best publicity is getting arrested while protesting, hence her arrest last week while protesting climate change with 16 other people. Fonda laughs, it cost her 2 hours in jail, 100 buck fine and got a million dollars in publicity. … I’m have to say, shame, shame, shame on the NBA who cares more about money than the protesters in Hong Kong. NBA Commissioner Silver is an embarrassing wimp!

Answer – #4 Willamette Valley, Oregon #3 Napa Valley, California #2 Santa Barbara, California and #1 highest quality of wine comes from Finger Lakes, New York, and I am shocked.
