  • Guilty pleasure? I feel no guilt in pleasure. We all need less guilt as it relates to enjoying ourselves.

    Excellent zin episode. Zin deserves it. The grape did not originate in the United States, but we’ve made it our own. I have a feeling greater zinfandel history is yet to be written.

    Gary,

    Did the LAPD take your Jets bucket in lieu of bail? Time for a new one?

  • Sorry to hear my hometown did you wrong (and my brother is LAPD, which makes me feel even worse). As for the Zins, had the 1977 Ridge the other night and that totally turned me around on Zins. My new adventure.

    QOTD: Surfing the internet and WLTV forums inparticular. I spend way too much time in there.

    the oak monster taking a dump and spraying it with Febreeze?….I can’t wait for the t-shirt…..c’mon GV don’t hate on the police because you don’t pay your fines!!

  • Oh no. I’m gonna be a purist. There is no such thing as “Red” Zinfandel. Only “Zinfandel” and “White Zinfandel”. I know it’s confusing but we have to stop the madness!

    Glad the LAPD let you go! Nice show, haven’t had a zin for awhile and it was a great reminder about how tasty they can be. So many wines so little time!
