Blog Entry 27 of 30 Wine Advice from a non Ascot Wearing Dude
My goal is to share honest, non-snooty, advice on wine as if you were talking to your next door neighbor and he said, "Hey maaaan, last night, me and the old lady, we had a really nice bottle of wine, I totally would recommend it." I think that the world of wine can be intimidating and confusing because there is so much to choose from. At times I felt that I needed to buy a velvet smoking jacket, bust out the ascot and say things like, "By-jove this bouquet strikes my fancy!" Like most hobbies, there are the professionals, the beginners, and all of us in between. I hope to post stories that shoot straight from the hip, the good and bad experiences alike, as I travel through the crazy world of wine.

Wine: I hate the word love ...
Contributed by: Mike Keleman   on 2/5/2008

I hate the word love,
for reasons I'll describe below and above.
I think love is too often used,
attached to kittens, New York, and many types of food.

People love this and they love that,
women especially love jeans that don't make their arse look fat.
Men are just as bad, take a guy like me,
I love nothing more than watching sports on my HD-TV.

The worst month for love is here,
February 14 is love's worst day of the year.
Guys are forced to buy cards, flowers, and chocolate sweets,
the whole time hoping to get some action between the sheets.

I feel sorry for single people on Valentine's Day,
some have struck out so much they think about turning gay.
Others go for bars and chat rooms wishing their love they will find,
for some, their best chance is with a person who's blind.

Add to the list these things where love will not last,
houses, money, and cars that are fast.
Sports teams, movie stars, and TV shows you should include,
but not pizza, wine, or pictures of chicks that are nude.

Love should be saved and only used when the time is right,
like remembering your wife in her wedding dress white.
Or for family, friends, and pets that make your life whole
pretty much anything in your world that God gave a soul.

This Valentine's Day I'd stay home and make a romantic dinner,
add a 2004 bottle of Incognito because it's a sure winner.
This red blend rolls nicely across your tongue,
if your significant other disagrees, out the door they should be flung.

I'll use love when talking about my son,
he makes my life hell and so much fun.
While working at Hooters, she won the title Best Belcher,
yeah, you guess it, my other love is the wife ... the Dream Squelcher.

Anyone who can use 'squelcher' and 'belcher' moves up on my "Tom Petty rhyme scale".

Mike, spot on. Love it! Love you! We'd love to be there! Love this! Love that! We often overlook the fine art of understatement. Hate that.
