This high end zinfandel novelty is disturbing. My mom brought a case of it back from a trip out west and I started drinking it at a party a few weeks back. I have never felt more sick the next day. I think she got fleeced by some charlatan broker, because she also bought a case of Italian champagne. If anyone offer you that, run. It tastes like stale Piper Sonoma and gives a wicked headache.

This reminds me of my new favorite reality tv show (mainly because I want this guy's job) - Thirsty Traveler. It is on some new station called Fine Living or something (probably only available on satellite). So this guy travels around and learns about a particluar type of alcohol in the area of its origin. The cool thing is that if you Tivo the show, you can then sit and drink whatever drink the guy is profiling while he tells you about its history. Last night, watched champagne episode while drinking champagne (maybe the reason for the fucked up dream?) and irish stout and grappa episodes (still drinking champagne, alas). Grappa looks like some nasty shit. Anyone had it?
