Looks like the second installment of "WINE PARAPHERNALIA THAT MAKES US UNCOMFORTABLE AND/OR SCARED" (or W.P.T.M.U.U.A.O.S. for short) has come early. 

Exhibit B:

     First of all, rule #1 for kitschy wine country paraphernalia is you need a really bad play on words or something like "Wine Not?" or "Pirates Drink chARRRRRRdonnay" (which I kinda like).  The people behind the Obama Wine Stopper really phoned it in on this one (as did the artist).  I mean, how about "Yes We Cab" or "To Preserve and Protect" or "Obama In, Vinegar Out" or "Let the Potus Keep It Potable" ...anything. 

FYI: we accept submissions for this part of the newsletter.  Please send on pics of the worst/best of wine world kitsch.

Dublin, Ireland holds a special place in our hearts because of our family heritage, my time at school there, and our trip years back for a dear friend's wedding.  Tonight we tip a glass to Dublin which was founded 1,021 years ago today on the banks of the river Liffey.  While we're doing that, I'd also like to tip a glass to the bar my friends and I stayed above for a couple nights which was a combination hardware store, lingerie store and bar.  We really need to look to Ireland more for our business models.

I'll take a screwdriver, a bra, and a screwdriver, please.  In that order.

Aw, man, once in high school, my friends and I got totally ripped on this wine Eric's older brother bought for us. I don't remember the name, but it was all pineapple-flavored. That was the night we got kicked out of Arby's
