Not yet! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Yup! I remember that exactly! Remember this video about screwcap wine? Screwcap -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I thought maybe he trimmed down or something. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

OMG is that you Remi? -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Doesn't that just make you want him more? Seriously, how do these people find me? -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

So you think we should all add him? Like...everyone on this site? I'm not sure if this will work but: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=39271812 -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

You all know how much I like hair! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Are you pregnant or something? This is a mood I haven't seen you in before! I was at Costco a couple years ago and saw that someone must have made a mistake when pricing wines. They had '97 Kenwood Artist Series for like $28, so I grabbed the few bottles they had left. The gal who rang me up thought $28 was pretty expensive for a bottle of wine and asked me if it was any good. I said, "It all depends on what you like, but I kinda like this one." She said, "Well, I like raspberry merlot...does this taste anything like that?" My response was quite polite.... "Nope, nothing at all like that. I'd stick with what you like." And yes, I'm jealous of some of your tastings. Blues, Dave I love it when I find a wine priced wrong. I was in Hawaii and they had Dom Perignon for like $75 a bottle. At the time it was going for $125 or more in the states. I had me some Dom mimosas! (kidding, kidding!) -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Conundrum is screw cap now so I guess YOU'RE the girl! Edited because I missed an s. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I get all sorts of weird requests for friends on My Space and it annoys the hell out of me. Sometimes it's not even people but businesses. Sometimes it's some guy who's friends consist of super hot chicks baring tons of skin. I delete the majority of them. If it's a skydiver that knows me from here I'll usually add them but if I have no idea who it is I just delete it. This time though, well, I'm not sure what to say. This guy wants to be my friend. What should I do? I'm attaching a pic. His name is Perry. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Dammit Icon! Don't be such a girl! For the record, some of the best wines in the world are Pinot Noir. Think Burgundy! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Did you know that merlot and zinfandel are red grapes? No, really! I swear they are! Blues, Dave Hey we gotta start them somewhere! When I first started drinking wine I was around 19. This guy came over and he brought over a bottle of white zin. He said it was the new "thing" and everyone was drinking it so I went out and bought like 6 bottles of different White Zins. I had my own White Zin wine cellar! The next time he came over he had a bottle of Reisling and said that White Zin was like cool aid compared to this and turned his nose up at my White Zin! So again I went out and bought a bunch of it and put it in my "wine cellar" (ie: kitchen cupboard). It went on like this for a while. Next I think it was Chardonnay, then Sauv. Blanc. Then we jumped to reds! Ooh merlot! We hit a few wine tastings and I started really getting into it. We made a few trips to Napa with friends. Then when I was 20 I got a job at a huge wine store that did wine tastings. I worked upstairs at the cash register at first but eventually worked my way down to working at the wine bar, managing it, setting up the tastings, etc. Part of my job was to open up each bottle to be used in the tastings and taste each one to make sure it wasn't corked or bad. Oh what a horrible job! I was forced to taste all first growth Bordeaux from 82, DRC, verticals of Margaux, La Fite, Latour, Mouton, things any young girl in her early 20s had no right tasting! I swear a million dollars of wine has passed through this body of mine. We tasted old stuff, new stuff, everything in between. We went to dinners. I'd bring all the leftover wine from the tasting and other employees would bring wine. The restaurant owners would bring us wine. The whole place would be drinking wine and just passing bottles around freely. It was madness I tell you! Imagine, if you can, the posters of when they release the Beaujolais Nouveau in France. Drunk, half clothed people singing and dancing around covered in wine. WINE WINE WINE everywhere! The drunker we got the more expensive the wine got! MORE WINE! Trade tastings, wine events, classes for wine glasses! Blind tastings, wine and food pairing, verticals, horizontals! Kevin Zraley courses on a Tuesday afternoon! Who lives like this? Well eventually it had to end and I moved up to San Francisco. I was still into wine but sick of dealing with the public so I got the job I have now. I got to learn a lot about wine in the 5 years I worked there though. This was 10+ years ago. I got so burnt out on it all that at one point I just stopped drinking it all together. My pallet was shot and nothing was good to me anymore since I couldn't afford $400 for a bottle of wine. Now I drink $15 a bottle Argentinian wine as my house wine. I couldn't tell you what's new out there, what's good or even what new wineries are out. I drink red with fish, white with steak and champagne with popcorn! No more rules for me. When my friends want to go up to Napa I scowl and tell them to have fun. Screw that. I'm going skydiving! So in conclusion Dave, we all have to start somewhere. Let them start with White Zin and White Merlot. Dang, I didn't mean to write this much! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Is that you trying to fax me? -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I'll send you a fax. Not of my butt though. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Holey shit! Scroll up and check out LO's avatar! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

That was awesome! -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

SWEET! Another chance to give you guys all my money! I'm in. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Hey didn't I tell you to do that recently? -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I crashed my little 50 cc scooter once while wearing shorts and a tube top! BAD IDEA! I was 14. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

Yup. Bonfire. "Sit back and relax! Please take politics, guns and religion to the Speakers Corner" Speakers Corner "A Soap Box in Cyber Space. The place for sociological and political discussions " -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)

I think the whole drug testing thing is crap. Who cares what you do on your own time? They aren't paying you when you're off. If they could test you for being on something WHILE you were working that's different but on your own time? No way. I don't even smoke weed and I wouldn't work for a company like that. Anyway, you should probably take this arguement over to speakers corner! Or go smoke a doob at lunch and forget what we were talking about. -------------- (Do not, I repeat DO NOT, take my posts seriously.)
