I'm guessing you wanted to post this comment on the article about the $1 pocket book, bro. Of course, I agree with you that she is badass – I've never met her, though.

Mary Ewing-Mulligan MW is top notch in the wine-smarties department. The real "Wine for Dummies" book is probably the best single resource for anyone starting out in wine. I did not know there was a pocket version of the same, but since it does exist, you should buy it over other bullshit books.

Your use of Inigo Montoya in this post is beyond impressive.

Thanks, all! Don't feel dumb about this – smarter people than me (ok, well, that's a lot of people…) are making this mistake!

Also – I'll be back soon! On my way to the Right Coast now so I can get back to bloggin' and share my twisted thoughts on this Napa jaunt…

Cheers!

Funnily enough, I was "correcting" Janet Myers (Mt. Vedeer and Franciscan wine director) on this yesterday… we had a good laugh over it.

I find myself tongue-tied now when I talk about variety/varietal. I think it makes me look more like an idiot probably. :)

This drives me crazy too, though I have to say I was a serious offender before reading a piece in Wines & Vines on the matter. Then I went back and changed everything I’d ever written! I say carry on Joe – people don’t deserve to be ignorant! Cheers!
