Wine: Natural isn't perfect

By Dave McIntyre
Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Wine is not immune to political correctness or polemics. (Readers who merely desire a simple glass of fermented grape juice to enjoy with dinner might want to turn to the editorial page now.) The latest battlefront in wine is whether that juice you're drinking is "natural.

The natural-wine movement has been sweeping France for a few years now, with stylishly dressed millennials in trendy wine bars in affluent urban neighborhoods celebrating the peasant vignerons who defy globalization in defense of terroir.

Oped out

Had a long conversation with a former co-worker who has turned conservative. Stayed away from politics, but at some point he started ranting about socialists. I told him that by current standards Nixon and Reagan would be considered socialists. I may have been pushing the envelope with Reagan, but certainly he espoused policies that would be anathema to the Tea Baggers: cut-and-run in the face of Arab insurgents, reduce nuclear weapons, etc. In any case, we didn't get to the fine points, as the response was spittle-flecked screaming.

Delusional Downtown Divas. Created by Lena Dunham, Carroll Dunham and Laurie Simmon's daughter and artist in her own right, a filmmaker and writer. You need to watch a few to get the real idea. Pretty funny IMHO.
