I've found that if I hear a radio ad for a wine or see a TV ad, I subconsciously write it off as commercial crap. It's a terrible reaction that I need to get over, but it has a history in reality.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-15697791366618979392007-09-17T08:16:00.000-04:002007-09-17T08:16:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Grand Cru Classeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136287447410073148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-16760684285619883932007-09-13T09:50:00.000-04:002007-09-13T09:50:00.000-04:00it's a pretty interesting idea i think. lots of wa...it's a pretty interesting idea i think. lots of wall street types are into the yanks and other nyc teams. they like wine...why not advertise?Brooklynguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16321573602782343974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-29054997464052554642007-09-12T00:49:00.000-04:002007-09-12T00:49:00.000-04:00you are such a snob, Neil.

If not email me at Brooklynguy@earthlink.net. Nov 4 is a Sunday so you'd have to come out to Brooklyn, which would be fun. Otherwise the 7th is fine.

I don't think the ad is bad or that they necessarily meant to push getting wasted. The syntax just struck me funny, and it was the 8th inning of the Yankee game after all, so I was completely wasted. Kidding.<BR/><BR/>Sorry Colleen-agree with your comment about not taking much to be over the limit. I never commented about how to enjoy wine and I wouldn't say there is a "right" way, so not sure what you're reacting to. But since you're not reading anymore, you won't see this anyway. Glad you came by that once, and if you ever reconsider, I'll be here to welcome you.<BR/><BR/>Hey Joe-you're on without a doubt. The sooner we nail down a date the easier it will be.
