White Trash Behavior Enters The Wine World, Again...

Of course they avoid "wine geek talk"...its not real wine. Sure they got the basics down....get the grape...ferment the grape...maybe that's about it. They're behaving like McDonalds, just make crap and someone out their will buy the crap. Nice job. With an ABV of 14% and make something taste like fruit punch, of course the youths would buy it. Anything for a dollar, I guess.


"TXT Cellars, the proud producers of such wines as WTF!!! Pinot Noir and OMG!!! Chardonnay. (The exclamation points are theirs.) Theymake a point of noting the brand avoids "wine geek talk" because "we don’t like wine geeks." (There are maybe other solutions to that problem than devolving into tween text speak.)" (Eater)

Food & Wine Releases The Top 10 People Who Are Better Than You

Creating a wine list is tough. A good sommelier tries to cover all palettes, pair it with the food menu, cover all price points as well as expose some wines that you probably never heard of. Its a tough and very fun job. With all the wines out there, its difficult to bring it down to what the restaurant can handle.

A big-fat-drunk congratulations to all of them...(Food&Wine)

Looks Like I Won't Visit France Ever Again

France is the first country to ever pass a law such as this....

As of July, you will have to take a breathalyzer to start your car. The president is cracking down on drunk drivers and this seems to be the only solution. Pretty smart, I guess. Yeah..I get it...one-night-stands are on the rise and doing the walk of shame isn't as fun in a foreign country.

Umm, I mean that everyone wants to live another day and should be responsible. Sorry.

Have breathalyzer, will travel (Dr.Vino)
