WINE HANDLING

Just watched a feature on handling wine. I now officially have a headache. Store on its side; Chill and let whites breathe; have a climate control case; Reds at room temperature, this goes with this. STOP THIS MADNESS!

THE REAL RULES OF WINE HANDLING

1. "What's the Word? Thunderbird! What's the price? 30 twice!

2. Hold the bottle in the lower middle;

3. Place free hand on screw cap;

4. Lefty loosey;

5. Bottom of screw cap is sharp--be careful;

6. Arrange Designated Driver;

7. Hold to lips and turn upside down--or, styrofoam cups optional.

These wine snobs make this way too complicated.

"Sideways" was a great movie about wine snobs, very funny. I hate most Hollywood garbage, but this is must see. Giomotti's son should have won an acadamy award for it.

Oh, yeah, I remember that one. Don't see many movies but I vaguely remember that one. I'll have to get the DVD now and focus!

Thanks for coming by.
