In an effort to take some of the legal heat off my blood brother Ron Washam, consider this the journalistic equivalent of a mother duck faking a broken wing to distract the predators from her loved ones.

I urge all wine bloggers to do the same: Write something particularly nasty about those glassholes at Riedel and  see how many frivolous lawsuits they can afford to bring at one time.

Especially since most of us make less in a week than their lawyers charge per hour.

Since I have nothing else to say, I will rely on my other cut-buddy Lorem Ipsum to guest-write the rest of this column.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, te nonumy ubique eos. Alii conceptam ius ne, at mea aeterno perfecto scriptorem. Vix et ubique repudiare. Rebum urbanitas in duo. Falli exerci ignota pri id, in duo oportere moderatius. Affert albucius conclusionemque at sed.

Quot nobis petentium eum in, essent reformidans cum cu, dico debet scaevola ut nec. Ius et vero prompta, te mei eros facilis, dicit aperiri fastidii ei pri. Delicatissimi vituperatoribus et vel, ex ignota mentitum platonem cum, eu duo commodo adipisci. Accusam verterem delicatissimi ex nam, sed et eros dicta theophrastus. Te verear veritus commune mea.

Usu an officiis cotidieque adversarium, enim deleniti menandri at per. Modus laudem in est, cum ei idque exerci possit. In mel vidit novum dictas. Mel mollis copiosae scribentur ut. Ei mediocrem omittantur disputationi eam.
