Unless its turpentine, it all tastes the same after the fourth glass.

Sure, your topic was wine, but here I think you've stumbled upon some fundamental truths.

Don't be cranky. Every day is Ollie Day as far as I'm concerned.

But perhaps you don't fully understand my nuanced and elaborate rating system for wines:

Things I Like: Great
Things I Don't Like: Sucks

YMMV, as the cool kids say.

Sorry. Something of a post-Ollie Day hangover, I suppose. Caused, in part, by the consumption of local pinot noir. Followed by some cheap but reasonably tastey Italian red. Followed by some insanely fruity mid-level Austrialian Shiraz. Oh, and some bourban too. They were all Great!

For this you stick around? Give Coltrane the watch back, you fraud.

You pathetic little insolent fuck. I would smack you in the face if I were not concerned about cutting my hand on the meth pipe. Why don't you just crawl back to your snivelling little, pee-drinking, mucous-smoking, banality-worshipping excuse for an existence and liberate the board from your staggering works of soulless decaying fecal matter.

Or, put another way: Whiff!!!!

Paul Giamatti's visit to TDS earlier this week included the admission that he personally knows jack shit about wine, so we can safely assume that the window for product endorsements just slammed shut.

Wine seems to me to be like a literature. People seem to want to find unique flavors and spot the hints of certain winemaking techniques in the product in the same way your Lit 301 prof scoured Hemingway for hints of subplots containing messages about feminism.

Its too bad there isn't a Bob Dylan of wine. You know, someone who is revered as the king of wine-making like Dylan is the king of song writing. I'd love to see such a Wine God come out and say, as Dylan sort of did last year, "there are no hidden messages... its just a song. I chose a lot of the words just because they rhymed."

"Its just grapes. We follow a recipe and hope for the best. If you taste hints of Yucatan hibiscus in the wine, its probably because a migrant worker left his T shirt in one of the vats again."

And you don't like Napa, you say? Shocking.

What the fuck else was I going to do? You didn't think I'd spit all day, did you? I'm not that kind of girl.

Two swings and you still can't touch me. I guess it's all true what Penske says.

I'd even let Slave hold the meth pipe while you took your best shot, but I remember how bad I felt about myself the last time I knocked your glasses off and you turned all red and started crying.

There is a Bob Dylan of wine. It's called Ripple.

Isn't that the Grateful Dead of wine?

I like wine.

I prefer champagne, but wine will do.

(I also like beer).

Are there any good Canadian wines?

I like Whiskey, but not the Canadian kind.

And Champagne. Also not Canadian; not even if it's "French Canadienne!"

Whatever you can pour on, and drink from, GWINK's belly.

Does the alcohol rest b/w the individual muscles of her six-pack?

Edited to add: I can't wait for Flower to post a clever retort in which he tells me that "b/w" should be replaced with "among."

AFLAC indeed!

We are known for our Icewine. Deee-licious. Penske can tell you about it.
