east of the 405 myself.

Why drink the same boring natural stuff? Find somewhere to drink Santa Rita Hills wines.

I thought you were living about 2600 miles east of the 405 these days.

That would qualify you as deprived, but not necessarily dead.

Plan 9 is making another comeback? Who knew?

I'm a Wine Expo fan, but it's worth noting that a significant portion of Italian inventory has been replaced by Spanish and Portuguese wines. Good wines, I'm sure, but the Italian inventory is smaller.
I also like Wine Country and K&L. Wine Country has a good Wine Disorder kind of vibe -- Kermit Lynch, Louis/Dressner, Terry Thiese, Rudi Wiest.

Well, if you're looking for some likable to boring natural wines served in a glass sized for a baby's bris. I'm no fan.

Andy, you ordered off the childrens menu--we keep one on hand just for you! Or perhaps you're one of those who will only drink from a Burgundy balloon. In any event, sorry you thought the Calek blond, Tissot Indigene, and Brun's FRV100 were so boring.

Well, I was willing to give Lou a second try because of the high regard it seems to hold on this forum, but not after that response.
 
Heck, I want to go more after that response, which was both amusing and quite genteel, considering what it replied to. What, we can dish out the digs but not take them, now?

But, look, I quote now from the ever-useful chapter-and-verse of the much-beloved FAQ:

Wine Disorder is not The New York Times, and we understand that the world of online wine discourse is a dark, angry place full of borderline personalities nursing grudges against their better-adjusted brethren who dwell in the world of light.

We encourage discussion on all aspects of the wine experience. Really. No, really. However, ours is a fairly rough-and-tumble atmosphere, so if you're a thin-skinned type with an aversion to the frank exchange of views it might be best to lurk for awhile before diving in, just to get a sense of the place and its denizens, who for the most part have only recently learned to stand upright and bathe semi-monthly.

Thor, can I call him a fucking newbie now? Pretty please? Why does Uncle Monkey always get to do it? Especially this one... he's an easy target.
 
I don't think there's any copyright on the term. I've seen the Monkey, Yixin, and Camblor use it, at least. But you'd best clear it with the Politburo.

Oh, I just wish the last 48 hours worth of snark around here had been wittier. Mere insult is pretty cheap.
 
Call me a fucking newbie all you want kids, but it's immature and to me, it displays a lousy business sense for a business owner who never posts on WD to pop into a discussion to write a snarky response to an honest review. How about a little, "Too bad you didn't like the wine you ordered, our food, our pours, or our stemware. That's how we do it though. Go somewhere else next time"?

As long as it's not from business owners. Just give me a fucking adult-sized glass and we'll call it a day.

They make a Super Big Gulp as well. James Laube has his one glass, I have my Super Big Gulp cup.

How do you feel about someone who never posts on WD popping into a discussion to write a snarky review about an honest business?

Alternatively: what Jeff said.
