And yet, I see you've missed one I just found (that stopped me dead in my keyboard tracks): <b>SWILL® Wine Tasting Party Kit and Wine Club Starter Kit.</b><br /><br />A couple of lines from the product description: <i>Start your Holiday celebration early. Whether it's by the fireplace, on the patio or under the mistletoe--a wine tasting party is a great way to entertain. Make GREAT gifts! This kit was designed by party planning and marketing professionals based on the original, SWILL® wine tasting club.

This glass comes with built in finger grips. Just as Schwinn revolutioned hand grips on bicycles with those things, so too has Riedel done the same for all those clueless individuals who have never figured out how to hold a wine glass. <br /><br />When I have one of those folks in my house, up to now, I have had to resort to jelly jars, but now I have a glass that is named for them and is used by them. Bully for Riedel for understanding that even mediocre wine drinkers need a glass.<br /><br />The Yucca Valley--Isn't that near Melbourne or is it Phoenix? I know it is one of those places that is so hot, you can pick your raisins in June and soak them in your swimming pool to reconstitute them as wine grapes. The formula is not all that new. Just add water and ferment--the instructions are right there on the side of each raisin. And no, the Yucca Valley is not one of the sixteen separate sub-AVAs of Lodi.<br /><br />BevMO? Oh well, you were bound to get one right sooner or later.<br /><br />The Portable 100-point scale is a real problem. I hate you for promoting it. What will I do for a living if every Tom, Dick and Schmoe can assign 100 points to wines. Crap, I might actually have to work for a living if that were the case.<br /><br />And you really missed the mark on the Food and Wine Pairing Machine. I happen to know for a fact that she is alive and well and living in the Napa Valley. I think she is an MS.Charlie Olkenhttp://www.cgcw.comnoreply@blogger.com
