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.

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
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.
