[quote=sdrealtor]And I inherited my ability to trendspot from my Dad. True story. My parents used to got oconcerts with us and we were backstage at a Billy Joel Concert in Philly. Kal Rudman (google him if you dont know who he is) was there and we were talking to him. Kal is probably the most influential trend spotter in the history of braodcast radio. My dad asked him about Paul Simon’s new album Graceland and Kal said it is a disaster and no one will ever listen to it. My dad told him he was flat out wrong on it and it would be a monster commercial hit.

And I don’t drink Zin….ever[/quote]

You’re as old as moses and you listen to classical music.
I am impressed.
You actually made me think less both of your musical tastes as well as your wine taste.
These anecdotes are crap and zin is a damn good grape (though I do not drink the pink shit).
Thats the reason we still drink it long after the Egyptians stopped.
Truly though.
Consilience was started by Fess’s old chief winemaker and for a while they had the best damn red you have ever had.
Cinnabar crew also did some good juice.
