Still pimpin' this review (Reply to this comment)

8 months later, SF.
This remains one of the top 5 best reviews I have read on this site in its first year.
Had to send the link to a new SF you'll love, IF YOU EVER COME BACK TO US.
As long as I was here, a quick re-read helped me miss you a bit less.
But just a bit.

"The Wine Spectator" Needs You! (Reply to this comment)
by Syd_Kick
...you MUST submit this review to their "Last Call" section! Not only did you keyboard a bladder-splittingly hilarious article, but you also perfectly profiled the wine's virtues and vices; you get ***** and, I agree, GoS Frei Zin gets **.

Dear cornelia ~

Well, this little wineworm appreciated your humble 'peasant's viewpoint.'
Of all of these taste-off reviews, I can relate to your experience the best. Some of the others were downright intimidating.

Thanks for the giggles and for not making me feel like a bonehead for *not* knowing Wine Terminology 101. :)

Peace ~

Will I Get Through This Review...Dry? (Reply to this comment)

...it Depends! Yes, I must really, never, never, never</> read anything you write while eating or drinking.

I slopped a perfectly good 1999 vintage Squirt all over my nightshirt as I cast my bleary eyes over this Taste Off. Oh you are too funny by miles!!!

You are all far, far too kind to this humble, lowly neophyte. Okay, humble might be a stretch... but definitely lowly. Like a little wineworm.

You've written some great stuff, but this was the BEST! And it brings to mind page 37 of the 1/24/00 New Yorker! Dare I read your Geyser Peak review? And I reiterate, I am sticking to movie reviews...

It's a Chick Thing! (Reply to this comment)

You mock Leah so!
I find it noteworthy that the women on the panel had a very similiar perception of the wine.
And how did you know that the grape picker was a Libra Sun?
I LOVE LIBRA SUNs!
Great great job.

I laughed so hard I snorted half a glass of rather decent sherry the wrong way! Blast the woman....
