    check the snopes on this one.

    there's a conflict of interest, retested wines did not confirm publicized results and even the goddam EU found Cali wines safe.

    in the age of modern controls and, uh, chemistry, all the cheap wine improved a lot on both sides of the pond in the last 20-30 years.

    Red wine turns my tongue purple. No it's not quite purple, it's like an ink stain.
    This pisses me off. And I like dry red wine. So I drink white when I want some wine.

    I like this wine from Chile, Nimbus. It's arid dry with a hint of blow dryer.
    Poignant, yet not over bearing. Supposed to let the adverbs roll of the tongue when one has no palate ima told.
    Or recall specific incidents associated with that wine: I got hammered with_______ , cracked the wife over the head, and set her out to sea.
