Never. Do you hea...I'll never give up my stars. Never. Do you hear me?<br /><br />But, in the spirit of Christmas, I may be willing to compromise. How about a million-star system? I could just rename my rag: The Tinkerbell Guide to Wine.<br /><br />As for getting rid of all the 89s, I quote you, "Women are 97s; men are 89s".<br /><br />Frankly, I don't get it. All those 97s need us. Without us, what are they? Sure, Mary did not need us, but let's not take this Christmas thing too far.Charlie Olkenhttp://www.cgcw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-55125452935517297452009-12-12T23:35:10.187-08:002009-12-12T23:35:10.187-08:00"Forgive Gary V for promoting the image of wi..."Forgive Gary V for promoting the image of wine expert as buffoon--rude, overbearing, filled with braggadacio, hot air and payola, unaware of the stink he spreads on all of us."<br /><br />I'm just quoting you because those words bear repeating. In fact, here they are again:<br /><br />"Forgive Gary V for promoting the image of wine expert as buffoon--rude, overbearing, filled with braggadacio, hot air and payola, unaware of the stink he spreads on all of us."<br /><br />I'd do it again but I don't wanna cause you any grief with search engines.erwindink@gmail.comhttp://winefoolery.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-19220257873663424652009-12-12T14:42:13.276-08:002009-12-12T14:42:13.276-08:00Thought I was going to have to fly up there and pu...Thought I was going to have to fly up there and put your Grinchy ass over my knee, but you pulled it out there in the end.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.com
