FWIW, I have no idea if that's what the original quote was referring to, it was just what we used to justify our own drinking on the job habits!

Every Thursday my boss and several of the local wine distributors sample wines. It starts in the late afternoon and goes until early evening. I am just starting my work shift and I often find it difficult to spit, especially if they have a winner.

Wow, this has been dormant for a while!
I just got back from a couple of days down in the Paso Robles area. It was our first visit there for wine tasting.
We tasted a lot of good red wine and bought enough of what we liked to last us a couple of years. As was stated above, a lot of the wines of these varietals are best when matched with food - and since we so rarely eat anything but salad for dinner our reds last a long time.
We brought home:
2010 Justin Justification (cab/merlot/cab franc)
2010 Adelaida Roussane (a rhone white - the only white we bought)
2010 Adelaida 100% Syrah (I'm the syrah fan in the house)
2009 Adelaida "The Tribe" (mourvedre/grenache/cab franc/syrah)
2005 Adelaida Reserve Cab/Syrah
2010 Chateau Margene Cielo Rosso
2009 Mooney GSM (mourvedre/syrah/grenache)
All very yummy! That area is a fun winter destination. We spent most of the time we were there hiking so we only had time for three tasting rooms. I'll definately go back again. Next time the first place on my list will be the Paso Wine Center downtown, which has those taste-o-matic machines and a selection of about 50 wines to taste.

from my cellar today.
Hmmmm. You wouldn't mind posting your address, would you? You know, so I can hire someone to break in and relieve you of some of the stuff that's taking up space in your cellar...

just happened to see this, while looking for a thread, just a bit
ago--i missed a lot lately, as i been busy... :)
used to see all the neat wine country when me and the folks, and or family, went for rides...
my other brothers, too, of CHAPMAN DESIGNS had designed quite a few homes in areas where folks had neat vinyards... reminds me of nice views...

Patiently waiting for the delivery of our Justin Isosceles 2011.
The big question will be how many years can we hold off tapping it?
