yeah


I'm a fan of girls that like wine

12/28/2007 12:01:54 AM

so its better to celebrate christmas with wine than budlight?

12/28/2007 12:02:16 AM

you used to be cool

12/28/2007 12:02:21 AM

girls who celebrate fun by drinking wine

12/28/2007 12:03:18 AM

we need to grab a beer sometime again - i'd like to see how you are with this different outlook on life you have

12/28/2007 12:03:20 AM

howd he used to act....CRAZY!!!

12/28/2007 12:04:22 AM

ha i dont have a different outlook i just changed certain habits. but i'd still be up to go get "a" drink sometime if we ever end up in the same city

and yes

im not sure if you are trying to set up a comeback to my answer or what, but thats not really what i was getting at. it was a lot more simple. just something i've noticed. girls that don't drink a lot and "get into the wine" occasionally seem to be more fun to hang out with than girls who keep a case of budlight on hand. nothing against bud light or alcoholics.

12/28/2007 12:07:57 AM

i drink wine anyway... to celebrate it being tuesday! yeah!

12/28/2007 12:08:57 AM

or friday... whatever day it is...

12/28/2007 12:09:19 AM

i get it

we used to have wine wednesdays

now i just drink wine whenever i drink. and i have on occasion taken a juicebox of wine or 5 to a football game

you have no idea whats going on do you

12/28/2007 12:09:39 AM

with knowing very little i'd argue you have a completely different outlook you just haven't thought about it enough to compare now to the past

12/28/2007 12:10:18 AM

also i would like to state that i'm definitely not trying to imply anything about wine and culture or status or anything like that. i dont know anything about wine... except that it should come in a bottle with a cork

12/28/2007 12:13:00 AM

it also comes in juiceboxes. and now a lot of wine bottles are screw off because there is a shortage of cork or something? i don't know if that is true...that is just what i heard

12/28/2007 12:13:58 AM

i guess if you wanna get technical, omar, my outlook is different because i actually have an outlook now. as far as principles and shit like that, im pretty much the same. just care more about tomorrows than i used to. and according to the feedback i get on tww, that makes me suck now. ha ha

^see, i think it should have a cork. and no box.

[Edited on December 28, 2007 at 12:15 AM. Reason : dont ask why]

12/28/2007 12:14:26 AM

that's more or less what i meant - heh yeah i also try to let all of my feedback from tww sink in deep - it's wonderful to be "loved" by the internet people

12/28/2007 12:15:52 AM

I never really drank wine outside of the stupid boxed wine I'd split with one of my college roommates before State bball games so we could get drunk real quick without having to down liquor...

but since I moved 30 minutes from Napa/Sonoma Valley I love wine... and I wouldn't dream of drinking any without a cork now. the "wine drinking culture" is certainly a little different than college binge drinking though...

But I agree with this thread for the most part... and I think I understand it.

[Edited on December 28, 2007 at 12:17 AM. Reason : x]

12/28/2007 12:16:27 AM

I completely agree.

12/28/2007 12:18:37 AM

i'd watch out on the cork statement though as some decent wines are seriously switching to screw offs (yes kindof trashy) and synthetic corks

most of my friends switched to wine post college

12/28/2007 12:21:04 AM

One of the big winery's I visited with my sister when she was up here last week... I want to say Robert Mondavi... had the twist offs... I don't think there is any trend to switching from corks though... not that I've noticed at least... but I'm no wine expert, I just like to take trips up there from time to time...

The way I look at it, is if Two Buck Chuck can still have cork then why can't all the others...

[Edited on December 28, 2007 at 12:24 AM. Reason : week]

12/28/2007 12:23:43 AM

^ hahaha ok good point. maybe there isn't a trend. but some decent wines do come with twist offs. but i'm not gonna lie, it does take away from the experience. it isn't really sexy to twist off the top to a bottle of wine.

12/28/2007 12:25:01 AM

there is a small movement moving towards twist-offs as opposed to corks because people that buy $100+ bottles of wine don't want to have to worry about the cork going bad - with a twist off it's not a worry

12/28/2007 12:25:51 AM

you don't have to use REAL cork

12/28/2007 12:26:28 AM

naturally cut cork lasts a good while^^

which is what would be in high dollar shit

ah, cork taint....still chances of it degrading wine...i hear ya

yeah bitches. i got my MRS degree, time to go to the wine vault and drink up.

12/28/2007 12:41:57 AM

i dont really like wine, but i like buying it for other people

12/28/2007 9:39:41 AM

wine is the stuff. any woman that ENJOYS good wine (not just guzzles from the twist-off bottle) is welcome at my place. Intelligent conversation+'lil class=FTW

12/28/2007 9:41:37 AM

i've never found any wine that i really like--the best i've done is "ok"

I don't know if anyone said it yet... but there's no shortage of cork. You can scrape the cork off a tree and it grow back. This shit renews itself quickly, which is why lots of "green" houses have cork floors

12/28/2007 9:48:45 AM

It takes a couple years to put aside the alcohol part of wine and enjoy all the other flavors in there.

I agree. Being in a gut bag in a box loses it crispness too quickly so the wine cannot age properly. Juicebox wine is not supposed to be around too long that is why I can see someone taking 5 of them to a football game bc you know you are not saving any of that junk for later. I also see that calling it juicebox wine is somewhat CLEVAR bc a juicebox with Hi-C in it does not last more than 30 seconds with me.

Last new years eve I was with a bunch of NoVa upper-middle class wanna-bes in a 2500 sq ft home drinking wine and listening to them tell office stories. Sitting there with my attractive but pretentious date, I knew I'd fucked up somewhere.

12/28/2007 9:58:25 AM

i don't remember posting in this thread at all...

but yes, i drink wine to celebrate.

FWIW, most North Carolina vintners are saying that 2007 is going to be a banner year, so stock up on the 2007s when they come out.

12/28/2007 10:24:19 AM

I'm ok with this.

With our humid climate?

hmmmm I dunno about that.

12/28/2007 11:23:22 AM

yeah I think I'll stick with California wines if I'm keeping it domestic

we were looking at wine one night in food lion (clearly a nonpretentious wine venture) and found the juiceboxes next to the big boxed wine. i thought they were funny. and funny to take to a football game. i think i got them for one of the noon games cause i thought it'd go down easier than beeeers (wine and mimosas mmmm). but yes, it is still box wine so it isn't very good. BUT it is a juicebox so that adds cool points.

clearly i'd enjoy nonboxed wine better i won some for christmas in our white elephant gift exchange gooo me.

i am also curious about NC wines. there is a winery somewhere around cary? i know they have them in the mtns as well, but off of airport blvd over near morrisville theres a sign for a vineyard.

12/28/2007 12:13:21 PM

Chatham Hill or something like that... I always wondered what that was when I was going to RDU... it's like right off of Aviation Pkwy... I'm sure it's just a manufacturing type place... I don't see how there could be a vineyard there.

Found it...
