Of course the trap door to the hidden "play room" under my bed isn't insulated, and he loves me best when I bring him the Gruner Veltliner so he's clearly deranged. Whatever I love him but nearly as much as, well you know.

But I've seen a dozen lists of recommended wine books, and none showed any imagination. That said, it's at least better than everyone's lists of their favorite wines of 2013. There's something about that conceit that annoys me. My first response is "Who asked you?"<br /><br />But then, I'm just tired of the list thing in general. It's a lazy way to kill space. And usually has ulterior motives. Even The New York Times Ten Best Books list has always only been about the major publishing houses. But here's one list clearly compiled by a genius:<br /><br />http://www.crttbuzzbin.com/merry-christmas-wine-nerds-top-6-wine-blogs-and-e-zines-of-2013/<br />Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-10703318419332269072013-12-05T17:25:18.331-08:002013-12-05T17:25:18.331-08:00Scary, I can see Bert Parks wearing the Miss Ameri...Scary, I can see Bert Parks wearing the Miss America tiara! ...and singing his own theme song.<br /><br />So that would be <i>natural</i> self doubt for Ms. Feiring.

As for the pricing, as Brad Pitt found out, you always pay for the packaging.<br /><br />David,<br />Oh, my Gorgeous Samantha has more than enough reason to kill me aside from that joke. I'm just hoping he contacts me before he contacts her--now that would make her kill me.<br /><br />Steve,<br />No, that's Fess Parker winery.<br />Sorry, too easy.<br /><br />Quizicat,<br />I've worked in both industries. Believe me, the wine biz has way more misfits and drifters. TV has more prevaricators and douchebags.<br /><br />And no one says putting full-page ads in industry rags doesn't pay off--no one I know anyway.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-20754930659304652942013-12-05T10:00:36.740-08:002013-12-05T10:00:36.740-08:00Oh, and speaking of the 'Top 100' Who says...Oh, and speaking of the 'Top 100' Who says that putting lovely multi-page advertisements in a magazine doesn't pay off?Quizicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511230410196866834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-36943815679146250612013-12-05T09:57:38.032-08:002013-12-05T09:57:38.032-08:00 “The wine industry is the largest employer of mis... “The wine industry is the largest employer of misfits and drifters in the developed world.”<br />And here I thought that was the TV industry.Quizicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511230410196866834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-18443682747395903062013-12-05T09:53:12.675-08:002013-12-05T09:53:12.675-08:00Was Boone Farm a Daniel Boone wine?Was Boone Farm a Daniel Boone wine?Steve Layhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485378664675668077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-18956055627914683482013-12-05T09:47:25.356-08:002013-12-05T09:47:25.356-08:00Making fun of Dave Mathew's insipid music.... ...Making fun of Dave Mathew's insipid music....
