Wine

The holiday season is full of fun, family, festivities and, sadly, political correctness. Not only do we question which wine is correct for the occasion but we continue our angst over who we are and where we belong in the grand political-social-cultural scheme of things With all this in mind, the following wine reviews are presented as a public service for those needing guidance through the vineyards of life.
(Caution: all wines on this list should be tasted with a palate thoroughly cleansed and a tongue firmly thrust into cheek.)

Has our civilization fallen to the point that intellectual stimulation and debate are trumped (by a wide margin, no less) by drunken peep shows? Have we turned into a nation of Kennedys? Is swilling debauchery the new norm? Or can I hope that we are just hoarding our original ideas as gold? To be spent frugally and furtively so that another does not consume our intellectual capital?
