I did a quick glance at Huffington Post today and as I got to bottom of the main page I see "the most obnoxious words in wine writing"
To see if I qualified, I clicked, and was surprised to see it was written by Greg dal Piax, who used to be a reg on old WLDG

Hard to list to argue with (though I've certainly used serious)

Really closer to the Drudge Report of the left, because it's more a content aggregator and bloghost than a news outlet.
I generally look at Huff, Drudge,Nat. Review, Salon, Atlantic, Google News, and NYT front pages.

Dale, I was only teasing, and it is good to see Greg popping up again. :D

The 12 Types of Wine Lovers

I think this is one quite humorous. I'm certainly the "Nixon".

Hilarious. Of course, since I know Greg, now I must ponder what he thinks I am. I think I'm a combination of idiot, "expert" (sans money), and Amateur, with flashes of gourmand, and occasional sparks of Nixon and stealth. :)

I actually try not to be the Nixon, at least at my own house I always say "I don't want to be a Nixon" when opening a good bottle for a big crowd (but let me make sure those who appreciate get first pour)

Being a NYer, I'd bet a fairly large sum of money I could name who Greg was picturing in his head when he thought of weasel. :)

Have you told this to Greg? You know all the wine bottles that Greg owns lean to the RIGHT BIG TIME. :wink:

yes, while I try to avoid the political discussions, Greg's (forceful) political opinions never struck me as Huff Post material.
I probably won't invite him to my Trotskyites and Trotanoy party.
