It's a particular kind of piece, aimed at reassuring the thunderstruck and the bashful that wine isn't intimidating. I don't know, I just couldn't get its rather Young Adult Fiction tone out of my head. So I sat and cranked out this antidote to it.<br /><br />Jim,<br />So in my fevered dreams you're the great writer Jim Harrison responding to the old HoseMaster of Wine™. That would be cool.<br /><br />But, yeah, people who drink wine are the best people, and we should all drink wines that make us happy and smarter and kinder to animals and orphans. <br /><br />Charlie,<br />"Serious and here don't mix" is about right. As for the proctologist recommendation, I can send you to the blogs of several very distinguished buttholes.Ron Washam, HMWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238869156614617705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-83616390780431963762014-09-29T10:29:55.166-07:002014-09-29T10:29:55.166-07:00OK, let me be serious for a moment here.
Nah, fuc...OK, let me be serious for a moment here.<br /><br />Nah, fuck it. Never mind.

You’ll only look like a wino." Shit. Busted. However, I take comfort in the incontrovertible fact that "People who drink wine on a regular basis are the best people." <br />To be serious for a nano-second, can I briefly break the rule of three and suggest an additional reason for spending lots and lots of money? Yes spend it on labels, spend it on wines that got a lot of points, (if you must) spend it on the latest cult wine, but please spend some of it on wines that just make you happy. And if any of them happen to cost less that $20, just keep that shit-eatin' grin to yourself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047359392836430619noreply@blogger.com
