Outpourings and Disgorgements
It has been quite a while since the last update.
My excuse is that it has been an exceptionally hectic couple of months: An unforgettable wine trip to Chile that included addressing the Chilean Sommelier Summit; a series of demanding projects that needed completion for our client companies; some remodeling of the house; and a trip to California to speak about Oregon Pinot Noir.
It doesn't look like the pace of things is going to ease up anytime soon, either.
I sympathize with you all regarding the despair and despondency that ensues when so many weeks pass without a regular helping of wine "guy - dance" and insight.
To be forced to resort to our local newspaper and press for aid is painful at best - helpful only if one is interested in what was happening in wine two years ago. And for buying advice, one is relegated to waiting until they complete the weekly reshuffling of the wine shelf talkers at the grocery store.
But we are back, at least for now, and ready to share our thoughts - like mental floss on wine.
The big news is that we have been considering some new wine club offerings. We haven't made any final decisions but right now the leading candidates are:
The "My Dog Smells Better than My Wine" Club
Every month you will receive twelve wines carefully permeated with varying levels of TCA. One bottle might just be a little mousy and may appear normal to our club members who smoke, are meth addicts, or live in cardboard boxes. The mid-priced bottles will smell a little like that stack of Hustler magazines that has been hidden under your mattress since 1975. And the top end wines will probably interfere with your satellite TV and mobile phone signals. Perhaps a great gift for anyone you know that has worked for the current administration.
The "Recession Doesn't Affect Me" Club
A carefully chosen case of premier cru wines, each painstakingly coated with a reassuring film of dust. All labels are guaranteed to be slightly damp with black spots that obscure large sections of the label. Your case will be hand delivered by a blond haired, high cheek boned, rippling muscled twenty something, driving one of these.

10% off case sales. Mixed cases included (must be full 12 bottle cases). If a wine is flagged as "no discounts", it will still apply towards your 12 bottle purchase. Case discounts will not show up during checkout. A follow up email will be sent with the corrected price that will appear on your credit card statement. (375 ml cases are 24 bottles.)
