It's overpriced, way overmarketed, overproduced, and I dislike how often they proclaim vintages.

I really hope this isn't taken the wrong way, but how did you form that conclusion/opinion? I'd expect to hear that from some others, but not you.

fwiw, I disagree on most all of those claims. Overpriced? At $189 I think it's expensive, but the 2002 was sensational and IMO worth every penny of the bottles I've had. Not that all were my pennies to begin with. I see 2009 Ausone being released at $3600/bottle as overpriced or Krug's single vineyards as overpriced. Overmarketed? I actually don't know, I've never seen any marketing from them, but I'm just an odd consumer. Overproduced? I can see some legs to this, they do make a lot of it. But then again, the quality is still superb and this is more important to me. The first growths also churn out an awful lot of wine and the odds of finding them for <$300 even in a crappy vintage is tough. Too many vintages? Perhaps, but I still rely more on quality as an indicator.

I've had the 2002 and the 2004, I was underwhelmed by both. The 2002 less so than the 2004, but thinking of their price tags... I mean, for Christ's sake, that's a week's wages for me. There are just way too many options for me under that that are great wines to even consider it. I just don't like it. I don't like anything about it. The price, the vintages, the production, the place it holds in popular culture, etc.

I'd bet the opposite. It's been statistically proven that most guys open with rock. I always open with paper.

No kidding. Although it fell almost all day here and none really stuck. RubeBabeIIIâ„¢ said they have at least 6" of new snow an hour away from me.

3 things:

1) That's not how a ******* Pixie cut is supposed to be done

2) She's losing her accent. She's trying to force it and it failing. I used to boan a British chick who did this.

3) I'm no longer aroused by her now

1)
“I’m kind of looking forward to getting to a cute little bob stage. I am trying to grow it but it’s slow, it’s taking a while obviously.”
2) Because all English girls are the same. 3) I'm sure she will be devastated to hear that. On her birthday, no less.

I think the new girl that I am talking to is a stripper. (yeah I know what most of you are thinking but I was hoping she was more of the study with me/conservative girl)

It's actually a western/Rocky Mountain (all of it, north-south) thing ... just wait until Summer. Have it on good authority that it's coming to a good ole' town anywhere western hemisphere soon! Ah, but those Rockies. Recall one year, boiling to death in the humidity (anywhere North-East/Niagara Region, NYC thru Southern ON and Quebec, but especially hot and unbearably so in the cities-aka NYC and T.O). Meanwhile, out in Alberta/Dakotas, they're having a snow storm in the middle of AUGUST. That's just nuts!

But as they say in the good ole "bad lands"/Mountain country: don't like the weather? Wait 5 minutes and they're s'sly not kidding about that ... ah, but I'm wit you, Rambo: gimme the surf, sun and beach anyday over that!! But I suppose skiing/boarding in the middle of uh spring has its charms in the west, too

My head hurts.

I may have called some people and sang to them at some point. Sorry.
