The Zinquisition

Various ruminations and observations regarding the bizarre and otherwise incomprehensible happenings in the wine industry.

SAINT VINI'S CREDO I believe that wine is a beverage that should be enjoyed frequently, alone or with meals. I believe that wine, since it is made from a fruit, should produce a liquid reminiscent of that fruit, not cedar, moss, pipe tobacco, barnyards, manure, pencil lead, or band aids. As such, I believe that good wine can come from any country, but it must be labeled in such a way that the consumer doesn't need an atlas and a wine encyclopedia to figure out what's in the bottle. I believe that the United States should not trail the civilized world in wine consumption per capita and that neo-prohibitionists, wine snobs, and liquor distributors are all joined in a trilateral commission to hinder wine consumption. I believe that wine needs to lose its elitist image by embracing alternative packaging, alternative closures, non-vintage wines, stronger branding, and lower retail prices. I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last........uh....sorry, I got carried away.

Where are brother Bluto and the Deltas when you need them?

Its guys like this that give college students a bad name. What happened to irresponsibility? What of debauchery? Who will stand up for the right to increase one's alcohol tolerance?

Perhaps they could start with the prosecution of the students, who willfully and knowingly violated the law. . . .
