NO NO NO! This is why people don't like wine. I laughed like crazy when I saw this. It is so ridiculous. I will agree to an extent, but if your Burgundy A.K.A (Bourgogne) Pinot Noir tastes like a sweaty sock, then you need to take it back for a refund. Us profeshunals call that a FLAW. Look it up... I'm just glad to see Conan drinking wine.

A flaw - A flaw - A flaw - is only in the eye of the beholder and the mouth of the drinker, my friend.

Some say TCA and I might say Tastes Delicious. Trace amounts of cardboard/mold/mushroom/wet wood (ssh) can be a good thing in a wine that is just too sugary fruity juicy.

p.s. What do you think about Chevre and Chenin's? I am pitching that as my next class at the Cheese School. Can you brain up some interesting combo's senor?

Also, I was going to do a SOledad expose on Chalone Vineyards Chenin Blanc....but do you have any domestic CB you like? Think are interesting?

p.p.s. Get your hands on Sones Cellars...the best <$20 Petite of your life.

p.p.p.s. Wine Exchange?

One, if it is a Pinot Noir and it is too sugary, and fruity from France, I would say that the vintner needs to be whacked over the head with the bottle. Two, there is only one Chenin Blanc as far as I can tell, and that is the version that is grown in the Loire Valley. Three, I will be sending you Alchohol vis a vis the USPS very soon. I had to clean my house. Phil made me recognize that. It truly was horrible. He was right you did underestimate it. I had quite the mess on my hands. Stick with Chalone Vineyards. The only domestic CB that I know of is from Carlo Rossi. As far as Chevre and Chenin, I am undecided. If you go with CB Goats Cheese, or a very soft swiss or mozzarella.

Oh darling, don't worry.

We all have to hear hard things sometimes, but if the end result makes your life BETTER, then that is what friends are for. Good friends, I mean.

You are a daddy now, who has the responsibility to create a home for your babies. A warm, inviting, cozy, clean environment that helps you focus on teaching those girls all the insanely awesome things you know. What a great thing - those girls are lucky.

Do it for yourself and for Julie. For your family.

I notice that I feel better in my own house when things are somewhat organized and clean.

We are all natural slobs, you know.

...

Now be a good boy, and email Celestie Cakes back about Zaca Mesa. She was thrilled to have your contact info.

And now with your CLEAN house, you can have her over for wine and a job chit chat and see where it leads.

Also, I give you full permission to kiss Phil for me ; )

Well, I wouldn't say dirty because of actual DIRT, as much as boxes, and boxes of shit that Julie would not let go of. I snuck them out the door without her knowing, and inadvertently threw away one of my car titles. DAMN! That is why life should be messy. When you clean up, you loose stuff!
