There's a hockey joke in there somewhere, but damned if I know what it is.

I prefer champagne, but wine will do.

(I also like beer).

I like wine. I like reds more than whites, though I will drink whites especially if they're not chardonnays. I like beer. I don't like burbon, but I do like scotch. I like gin more than I like vodka. I like some tequila. I'm not a big rum fan, though I understand its appeal. I think I like brandy (including Pisco), but it never occurs to me to drink it.

Also, a wine snob's take on Sideways.

There's a bad wine/whine joke in there ("noooooo, we aren't Americaaaaaan") but damned if I'm going to make it.

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

I'm not sure that matters when one is drinking wine from the lovely GWINK.

For RT:

I can't believe that Vanessa sold herself out last night. Especially when she clearly would have made it over the whiney punk-wannabe 21-year-old from Parsons. That really bummed me out. Also, how completely awful was that Little Bo Peep outfit that Austin designed? I warned Mr Man that if that chick rocker picked that monstrosity, I would have to stop watching the show. He should have been bitch-slapped for that thing.

I thought she had a six-pack? I was just subtley* flattering her.

*not Flower subtle, but subtle.

Keep on looking at the word "subtle." Subtle subtle subtle. Who the fuck put that "b" in there??!

Icewine!

Too late! And there go your chances of drinking ice wine from Gwinky's silky belly, to boot.

I don't like girls. Other than breasts. Y'all can have her silky belly and nether regions.

And ice wine, while extremely yummy, tends to give me a headache.

I am very flattered at all these comments praising my belly (hi sd). It's a bright spot in an otherwise bleak existence. Cake for everyone!*




*except Flower.

The woman has a stomach, and I understand a very nice one at that. When she was 5 she had a "belly."

Why be subtle with the flattery? I understand she's well constructed. Good for her. Too bad I'm not single - I've never been Heismaned by a Canadian.

ETA: Fuck, one post too late again. Story of my life.

It was annoying in many ways, especially the way in which we were supposed to identify with, root for and like a character who we'd all probably avoid like the plague in real life. Of course, I like Godzilla movies as much as the next guy, but this was different.

I know, and as Vanessa has repeatedly pointed out, being able to sew well has absolutely nothing to do with being a good designer. A good architect doesn't have to be a master carpenter. It was pretty clear to all of us that know her that they had to get rid of her some how, and she wasn't going to be booted on the quaility of her desgins. That outfit was TERRIBLE.

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

Sure. Icewine or Eiswein in Germany, is a late-harvest wine made from grapes pressed while frozen. Only three varieties of vinifera grape and Vidal may be used but usually it is made from Vidal and Riesling grapes. To make Icewine, the grapes are left on the vine until after the first frost hits. These grapes are harvested after being frozen in the vineyard and then, while still frozen, they are pressed. They must be picked early - before 10 a.m. During both of these processes the temperature cannot exceed -8 degrees C. At this temperature (-8 degrees C) the berries will freeze as hard as marbles. While the grape is still in its frozen state, it is pressed and the water is driven out as shards of ice. This leaves a highly concentrated juice, very high in acids, sugars and aromatics.

Wow, good show Penske. You have had me fooled for years.
