That sucks, though on the flip side, I wonder what it would be like to cook with.

On another note, not sure if your a Queensryche fan or not, but if you are you might find this interesting:

I've ordered 3 bottles, though I'm not trilled about having to wait until Feb to have them shipped to me.

I'm gonna have to try it.

However, should it suck, "Operation: Winecrime" jokes will be forthcoming.

You're the second person that has made that reference this morning.

Re: ~laughs~ xany July 22 2008, 16:54:41 UTC

yeah, I googled the phrase after making that comment. Seems I'm not the one to coin it, but I'll still take credit for thinking of it independantly of the rest.

Heh... mix it with some good olive oil, a little bit of good mustard, and some herbs, and you've got yourself a very nice vinagrette! Salad anyone?

Re: Finding info on wines/wineries the_megstress July 22 2008, 22:41:30 UTC

Try following the corporate take-over trail.
Scroll down the bottom of the website of the winery and see if a corporation owns it. It will either say in the Copyright sign at the bottom, or hidden somewhere in the text of "who we are." (e.g. Bigass Bottling Co. proudly presents the latest Bourdeaux from C'est French Winery...) Then find the holding company's website and scour the press releases and annual reports for what the winery used to be or who owned it before the current umbrella corp. The past decade or so, wineries, breweries and liquor companies have been bought, sold, and made parts of larger corporate/bottling/beverage conglomerates. A winery in Australia could be owned by a beverage holding company in Mexico... without giving away any confidential information. ;) (Note the latest public acquisition Budweiser was involved in...)
