I end up making fun of the same dozen or so. Granted, it's just a format for cheap gags, but it would be nice if the wine blogosphere were more interesting.

So that one was for me. <br /><br />I will say, however, that the phrase "jumped the shark" may be the worst new cliche of the last twenty years.
