It is sad to see something as humble as wine transform into comercial excitment: "Dining on the Vine". Sorry I missed your deadline but not the chance to share my comments about the liquid I love.

It is sad to see something as humble as wine transform into comercial excitment: “Dining on the Vine”.

As for the others ... it's just sad that a great beverage is tossed about so carelessly or ridiculously over poured. Sigh.

Trouble is, unless I use a straw I cannot taste it without pouring first!! So, I will be pouring tonight but going straight to the drinking part without giving the pour any attention-it is just a means to an end!

Dining on the Vine has it going away for sheer drama and over the top silliness. But I am more intrigued by the NY Times, given the size, volume and sheer "tonnage" of the incoming pour. That's a fire hose doing the service. Very nice spittoon. love to have it in my office!

I like to spit on winery floors.* Especially when they have no appropriate place to spit. *Learned to do this in the Loire, where it's proper. nice spittoon?
