I quickly abandoned that, and just began imagining what it might be like for Parker to speak to a crowd of folks in Shanghai, and maybe having a bit of a buzz and being a bit undiplomatic.<br /><br />No ellipses, Thomas, because it's a speech, not Parker writing. Believe me, I thought of that, but felt the ellipses would be distracting.<br /><br />The other point I was trying to make is how much the wine world is dying to get into the Chinese market, while the Chinese, with their government's criminal human rights record, are simply dying.

So buying those wines would be like having sex with a porn star who hasn’t recently had a blood test.. Think of the 100 Point Scale as your Guaranteed Condom of Wine Pleasure."The Sommelierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373623446507975769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-56737529908046385362014-02-20T10:57:58.442-08:002014-02-20T10:57:58.442-08:00Not one elipsis...in the whole...thing...amazing.

It's that kind of post that I get caught reading by the laughing out loud, (that's LOLing for the kids out there) and looking mildly retarded while staring at my screen. Just brilliant Love. Oh and by the way, I've been told that Moa Tse ain't got nothing on my powerful tongue....see what I did there, made a flirty but sexual innuendo. I love you!!
