Some Ol' Wino

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Just some old wino . . .
ABOUT YOU:
If you love wine as much as I do you might want to
join the American Wine Society
If you have a pop-up stopper running, my links may not
work. Try holding the CTRL key down when you click.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

MySpace members who I know in real-life,
Other Wine lovers,
Francophiles or Francophones (Gens qui parlent français,
ou qui aiment toutes choses françaises)

My Philosophy:
On Wine: Wine is food … let’s not use it like it’s a drug.

On Art: Art is an appeal to the intellect, through the
senses, to perceive reality in a different, more exciting
way.

On Humor: Humor is “the sudden realization of the
incongruity between human perception and reality”.

On Education: If you haven’t learned something today …
about yourself, about someone else, and about the world,
then you’ve wasted one precious day. This is true every
day of your life, from first to last.

SOME OL'WINO'S CURRENT "CRUSHES":

___Shiraz___
Right now Shiraz is my main squeeze. That's because I take my supper in the pubs frequently, and she is usually available by-the-glass at the bar. Fortunately most pubs & restaurants offer "premium" wines by the glass these days. Unfortunately "premium" means "mediocre & over-priced" ! (But that's a good subject for a future blog.)
Sometimes Shiraz goes by the name of Sirah when she's feeling in a european mood, and I must say I prefer her company when she is that way... a little more subtile and feminine without that heavy oak accent. --------calendar note table

CALENDAR NOTE: Tasting schedule is FYI those interested in AWS CJC tastings, (don't count on me being at a particular tasting unless you check with me first.) ---- ----END OF SECTION----
