Thomas, would you like to co-host a conference on "Wines for the New world Order" for all of these technocrats and help me poison their food?

I just ran the president of "Cabernet Corp" out of here after he showed me four "Argentinian" wines "made" by Californian guys with Australian technology and you could not tell the Syrah from the Tannat from the Malbec. When I asked what the point of Tannat with no tannin was they answered "so someone who wants to taste Tannat but doesn't want to drink tannic wines can enjoy it" which reminded me of the ads for Baffert's "Gin" whic is advertized as the "Vodka Drinker's Gin" because it has almost no flavor....

The guy said that he had tasted all sorts of Argentinian Malbecs and Tannats and "none of them were any good so we brought in our team to make these". When I asked him if he had tasted those wines at a typical Charrascaria style Argie Meat Lovers Hoe-Down (where they would be PERFECT) he said he had not tried them with food.

Let's kill them before they breed, Roberto
