Championing intelligence, wit and style, the network reflects a wide range of pursuits with male appeal, including: gaming, gear, entertainment, food, fashion, women, humor, travel, competition, danger and more.<br /><br />Formerly known as G4, Esquire Network will launch this summer in 62 million households nationwide, as well as online, mobile, On Demand and other platforms.

It would be like Candid Camera for eBob's buttboys. <br /><br />I was approached a few months ago by someone who wanted to produce a TV show about wine, a la Anthony Bourdain. That got me thinking about an all wine channel, and this is the laborious result. Truthfully, I came very close to 86ing this piece. But, since I do this for free, I thought, what the hell. Glad people like it.<br /><br />I love you, too, Gorgeous!<br /><br />Thomas,<br />In Episode 2 of Yeast of Eden, we introduce Tom Wark as the villain. He's out to destroy natural wine, but when he fails, he sheds three tiers.<br /><br />Marcia Love,<br />Gotta love TAINT TV. It's TV the way God intended--filled with six minute commercial breaks.<br /><br />Martin,<br />Welcome back. Long time. TAINT TV can use all the help it can get. Pitch some ideas! You, too, can be a big TV star, like Leslie Sbrocco only with real hair.<br /><br />Charlie,<br />Hell, I've thrown away more lines than a Hollywood cast party with cocaine. They don't linger in memory, so much as stain. Brioche? Hmm.

You'd be able to not only bring wine to the mainstream, you can reaffirm what so many people already know or believe, that people in the wine business are tools. I, love, it! Have to say my favorite line in the post, the one that had me slapping my knee and horking latte out my nose, "Celebrity wine critic"....laughed my ass off and as you might remember, that would require some serious laughing.
