I'm sure it is fantastic.

Have you read Dune? What do you think of the books and the movie?

I've seen more references to Dune in this board than I know of from the movie or the books...I know Sting was in it.

It appears to understand what goes on here with many folks, I should find the movie and watch it. Perhaps polish off some of my CA pinot in the process, so my cellar ratio can finally be more French than CA

Not all references are the same. Recently, there have been board members who have simply e-searched for a topic such as Dune and then cut and pasted discovered information into a thread response. This amateurish attempt at a geek reference is both dangerous and clumsy. One must understand an obscure geek topic before attempting to use it. Imagine Andrea Bocelli trying to create a flower arrangement while riding a Daggit.

It is OK to use search engines to spell or fact check, but never OK to work backwards.

Keep this in mind as you attempt to survive your foray into Wine Disorder.

Best,
Joe

Joe Perry, one of our leading members and part of the politburo, is a strong advocate of the Dune culture. Frankly, I had never heard of this whole culture until Joe Perry started this board.

I've met a lot of great people here and learned about many interesting wines.

I've also learned that Dune rocks.

Rocks? More like "sands" or, forgive me, "dunes".

It is a desert planet after all.
 
I'm sure I'll learn about it when it is featured on Family Guy...until then...
