Yes, ladies and germs, it's been a while. About two weeks since last I posted on this blog. And the last few posts were just cross-posts to Muddy Boots.
Yet, ladies and germs, I occasionally miss the old frisson that a really topping post gave me and, I assume, some of you.
Though, ladies and germs, I am glad to be free of the compulsion to write whatever crazy thoughts came into my head, perpetuating, say, a drunken rant for all posterity or till I cease to pay for the registration of this URL.
Even so, l & g, given the sort of nasty customer I am, there remains a need to spew venom on the happy warriors and poseurs of the wine and wine-blogging worlds, and this will be the place to do it. Example: from the "town hall meetings" on "healthcare reform" I'm getting a vibe only slightly more vicious and ridiculous than the endless debate on (say) "natural" vs. "industrial" wines, or whatever terms people use to support their faith. Add gun-toting to the mix and it will be a fun post with a bloody outcome. Like a wine Hamlet, where everyone dies. This prospect pleases me for some reason.
TH....I may get a tatoo to that affect!" Like a wine Hamlet, where everyone dies. This prospect pleases me for some reason."
It's the sensitive part of you that shines. Change nothing and will always have DeVino.
I've been busy and haven't had the chance to do much blogging. I'm glad to see you are still getting good press(even if you generate some/most of it...Cmon if not you, then who? oh well).
I'm getting a visit from a female friend, that i met when I was up last in NY/NJ.
I met her at a bar in Weehawken(gesh...is the spelling right???) We met for dinner and a bottle of Dominico Selections Soave and she bought a ticket to come to Asheville
for an encore!!!!
Coincidence???? I think not!
So, boys and girls..... if you want to meet hot chicas or chicos, Domenico has a wine for you and her/him depending on which way the door swings.
T you can use this for a ad blitz if you want, you have my permission.
Ciao Amico

P.S..... Not that I'd ever quibble on grammer or such but... is the comma correct in this usage" Like a wine Hamlet, where everyone dies".
Fredric could be the tie breaker, but PLEASE it's not that important to me. So if you want to beat the proper usage thing to death..... Go to the web site"Thom never really gave a fuck anyway.com"
Keep at it FK and TH( I'll be up again in Dec)

Thom, sorry for the delay, was away sans computer all weekend.
I'm glad to say sales are going well and we are turning over inventory. I'll continue to toot our horn no matter how many trumpets join the band.
I'm sorry happy to consider using a tag line like, "Domenico Selections -- wines that get you laid." What could be a better promise than that?

What I was going for, was a slight pause.
