Chaos Reigns

Anybody see that Lars Von Trier movie called “Anti-Christ?” (I think it’s a children’s movie or something?)

Anyway, apparently at one point in that movie — right before things go completely buck-wild, a fox pops his head up and looks at the camera and says, “Time to go crazy!!!”

Well, that’s about where we’re at right now in the store … bottles flying off shelves … people LOVING this Spanish white wine … and the California red wine … it’s on, it’s on, the party is on …

Buy that wine …

“Epic Fail”

I’m working in the wine shop with T., a brilliant grad from the Culinary Institute of America who knows A LOT about wine. He’s like 20 years younger than me. He was looking at my comedy show flyer (scroll down to see it) and he just delivered his verdict: “Epic fail.”

LOL, “color me humbled.”

Next flyer? Nothin’ but helvetica. GET READY.

The Killers In The Wine Shop?

“When You Were Young” by the Killers banging’ on wine-shop Pandora internet radio???

“Fuhgeddaboutit,” we’re ON FIRE right now.

I’m about to get a goosebump up in this motherfucker and I’m not even joking.

“The Other Wine”

I sometimes call white wine “the other wine,” because it’s not red wine, which is what I consider “the real wine.”

But they have a nice white wine open right now for tasting … as soon as I get a minute I’ll go copy down the info and post it online, here, on this web site, so you can see it.

Rhiesling

You guys know about this wine? It’s a white wine. I just sold two bottles of it. “Now you know.”

Shop Life

It’s on, I’m in the shop. Holy toe-lee-dough this California Cabernet is SMOKING. “Who says you can’t make wine in California?” Come by and grab a bottle of this Wyatt Cab … it’s nice.

Don’t Forget

Big show tomorrow night! Anyone who travels 5+ hours to attend GETS IN FREE.

Dreams Really Do Come True

I’ll be liveblogging from the wine shop starting around noon EST. “Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus.”

Friday Face-Offs

In honor of tax week, I’ve applied for an extension for this week’s Friday Face-Offs. It’ll be back next week.
