Cost more, taste better and less likely to induce hangovers.

Re: Let's Talk Wine!
Dude...the best tequilas you'll ever have are Don Julio and Herradura...look no further.
Grab a glass of your favorite tomato juice or tomato mix (v8 etc)... and a glass of tequila....take a sip of your tequila and down it with a small sip of tomato juice...I promise you'll go through the bottle and not even feel it. That's the right way to drink tequila.

Now you're probably wondering why it's in bold and red.... Well I had an idea.
Now I will be honest and say that I was shocked at the interest in this thread - I'm used to having beer, shooting people in BF2 and occasionally discussing the beers we drink - I WRONGLY assumed that most of us didn't drink wine. I remember hearing {HRD} Bobby after a glass of wine (Was a treat btw... Some people just cant hold their liquor).
It's Friday the 15th 10AM here. I'll most likely be trying the wine tonight or tomorrow night... I was going to post my opinion on the wine on Sunday or Monday. So this is what I propose. For those of you wine lovers or wanna-be wine lovers, grab a bottle of the aforesaid bold-red-assed-wine thats above. We'll all indulge it over the weekend and post it up in here with comments Sunday or Monday. It'll be interesting to see what people think of it... I wouldn't mind participating in 1 bottle a week and having this a regular thing.
Also as you all know the site is migrating bit by bit to TPG. I never blog and figured why not try it out, I wrote a introduction into the tasting of wine - kind of a first hand experience thing. Check it out if you're interested, post comments or PM me if you need more info!
Oh so for the wine of the week... Who would be interested? You don't have to buy the wine of the week it'd be nice if a handful of peeps participated... I'm in

Also, the blog thing sounds awesome, I'd totally read that.

Re: Let's Talk Wine!
I did not get around to trying it, but choose another one, and I'll see what I can do about getting a bottle. Knoxville isn't that great when it comes to imported beer or good wine usually, but there are some places I can try.. Just need to convince someone to go shopping with me :P.
If it's a more common vineyard I should be alright. I'm quite excited for this whole wine tasting weekly thing.
