Similar to my Riesling affliction: one the one hand I'd like the grape to be more fashionable, on the other I value being in on something the average wine lover isn't, e.g., "if you don't like Riesling then you're a fucking idiot". Here's to all the fucking idiots who don't appreciate the HoseMaster, leaving more of him for the rest of us! We all share in your success.<br />Long-time follower, 1st-time common tater.Ingo Gradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365843090495655576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-53377458380480407942016-09-13T05:46:17.127-07:002016-09-13T05:46:17.127-07:00Hey Ron!
