On NPR they had a clip of Rex Pickett, the author of the book "Sideways,"
talking to fans about his book. Except instead of talking about the book,
these shallow losers kept asking him about the movie. Of all the bad
questions to ask him, the one question that kept coming up was "What's your
favorite wine?" Oh wow. Real original, assholes. You ask the guy who writes
a book about wine tasting what his favorite wine is? Here's an idea: READ
THE BOOK.

Then, as if they expect him to say something surprising, they stand around
like drooling idiots in anticipation of his answer, which is, get this:
PINOT NOIR. Hey, how about that you dipshits? The guy who wrote a novel
about a guy whose favorite wine is pinot noir also happens to like pinot
noir! Nice question you stupid cockmasters. Man I hate wine tasters.

Why are you nigh-on copying and pasting Maddox onto this group?

Unless you are he?

Also - Maddox doesn't call them faggots either (mainly because in spite of
his leftfield rants, he doesn't seem to stoop so low as to be an uneducated
bigot). Plus the article is pretty damn funny as is almost everything on
Maddox's site. So why bother to misquote and misrepresent him?

Now will someone reply to my other post about some decent comparison wines
to the ones I mention. Many thanks!

Maaxx,
you opened a real Hornets nest. I bet you didn't realize how many tight
asses post to this group. Keep yourself real.

Aaron,

I would comment, but alas, I do not know any of the wines that you mentioned,
and, other than some great NZ SB's don't have much knowledge of the other
offerings from your beautiful country. St Helier is the one, to whom I go for
Kiwi wine knowledge.

Sorry. Also, thanks for pointing out the source for the "Sideways" critique. I
did not know of Maddox, until your post. You are correct - he IS funny, though
a bit bombastic for my taste, even when he says things with which I agree.
