Lousy Grapes: One Crazy Summer
http://www.lousygrapes.com/2012/07/one-crazy-summer.html
Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Sunday, July 29, 2012. Insert Bob Seager Lyric Here. Johnny Mar’s fault. In the future I plan on sending a terminator back in time to kill his mum. That sounds hardcore and I actually like Johnny Mar a lot. So imagine what I’m going to have my terminator do to baby Morrissey. I won’t speak of it, just imagine…. Labels: 1998 Chevy Blazer.

Lousy Grapes: Some Holistic Fiction
http://www.lousygrapes.com/2011/02/some-holistic-fiction.html
Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. I thought going biodynamic. Meant all I had to do was maybe bring some cute little ladybugs into the vineyard and exhale my weed smoke on the vines whenever I was out in the field smoking a doob. It was bad enough I had to figure out how to obtain deer bladders but this business with the cow’s head was almost too damn much. When I was reading some of Rudolf Steiner’s. Am I doing it wrong? Do I need to kill more chickens? There’s no turning ba...

Lousy Grapes: Corvina McShoegaze
http://www.lousygrapes.com/2012/12/corvina-mcshoegaze.html
Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Thursday, December 27, 2012. I was all set to make Corvina out to be some kind of blood thirsty child of the night. I mean, Corvina sounds like it could be the name of some pre-goth shoe-gaze band or a character in an Anne Rice novel. Why do all the dragons I maul have boners? Ripasso on the other hand has quite a bit more depth and complexity to it. These wines are a bit more agreeable to aging because the acidity of the Valpo is still strong and wine receives another helpin...

Lousy Grapes: A Good Screw
http://www.lousygrapes.com/2011/02/good-screw.html
Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Hell no, it’s the nifty bottles they’re after. Was it brought back to them by their Great Grand-Father, a French immigrant who had to carry this uncomfortable hunk of metal up his ass for three years while he was on the western front in The Great War? Who looks at this thing and thinks, "that looks like a fine instrument to open wine with? The Two Prong Corkscrew—again, WTF? The Electric Corkscrew—You like Star Trek? Good stuff. Anywho, want ...

Lousy Grapes: I've seen a Horse-fly...
http://www.lousygrapes.com/2011/05/ive-seen-horse-fly.html
Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Monday, May 9, 2011. I've seen a Horse-fly. That’s how Jeremy Clarkson feels anyway). Personally I’ve always been a fan of the 512 GTBB. Laguiole (pronounced lah-yole, or la-gwee-ole if you want to be a sissy about it) is a region in France known for centuries for churning out excellent cutlery. 70% of the knives actually produced in Laguiole are produced in Thiers, Puy-de-dome. 8221; You’ll find out in about two-hundred years Pierre. So what exactly is a Laguiole? But made o...

Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Monday, January 16, 2012. Steven Seagal Starring In: A Taste for Death.

Martial arts super-mega star Steven Seagal is a complex man of many talents and tastes. So let’s begin! Steven Seagal’s tasting notes:. I will joint-lock your soul. I am ranked as a 7. It means I can ...

Lousy Grapes: February 2012
http://www.lousygrapes.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Saturday, February 18, 2012. There are different levels of what one calls a bartender. You may order an ancient, obscure drink and see your bartender consult a book to find the ingredients. Don’t be disheartened…yet. Let’s hope for the latter. I love the latter. In fact, I was the latter. I’ve always been the guy that stands next to the keg. Whenever the party was happening, one could find me within close range of beer-getting place. Beverage manager, huh? I miss being a bart...

Lousy Grapes: We're all gettin old...(A repost)
http://www.lousygrapes.com/2010/10/were-all-gettin-old.html
Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. We're all gettin old.(A repost). The time has come. I drank the last bottle of this last Thanksgiving. It was the best of the six I got to try, including the two mags. I like this post and the one that follows is more in this style so I thought i'd throw this out there as a transition. Let’s see, what was going on in America in 1995? What I do know about my bottle is our company received it about four years ago with our first Calera order we placed....

Lousy Grapes: Keys like a Pre-School Piano
http://www.lousygrapes.com/2012/12/keys-like-pre-school-piano.html
Adventures Of A Wine Seller. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Keys like a Pre-School Piano. Been a while. Wasn’t sure if I was ever going to have the time to sit in this chair and throw together some words about life…or wine. Whatever. It’s all living. My high-powered desktop is on the floor in the corner of the office awaiting the ultimate nothing. So here I am typing away on my wife’s laptop which she uses to heard the random donkey who keeps breaking into the front door. I got brand new shiny gig. There ar...
