Misogyny AND white privilege
ah, she was a twit for going straight to the comment about 'an old white guy'. He may have a sound point if the wine is genuinely not good.
I can't believe I'm posting on this shit on the internet.
I'm just shocked than you can apparently tell how good it is from a photo, or are you just showing off in front of your internet mates

honestly, it could be distilled unicorn piss and rainbows for all I know. But ... it looked cloudy, and a proper critic thought it was so shit they emailed someone. There were red flags with the 'treating grapes with respect, full organic' wine producer as well.
Fair to say if I tasted some, I'd expect it to be 'interesting' but not necessarily 'good'. Frankly, I'm not a big pinot noir fan anyway; there aren't many affordable examples that float my boat.

Actually that's a very good point, a $20 Pinot just tastes a bit empty compared to a Shiraz/Syrah of the same value.
I'm sure a $50 Pinot tastes pretty bloody good but fuck spending that much.

I'm sure a $50 Pinot tastes pretty bloody good but fuck spending that much.Nailed it. Fussy little fluffybunny of a grape to grow apparently and the outcome varies tremendously on the season, terroir, etc (wine snob comment, and yes I am a white male - so probably a misogynist too, even though I love women).
Generally a cheaper Pinot is shit, but damn the expensive ones can be good. So yeah, I avoid them too and stick to shiraz / syrah.
None of the above changes the fact that that is a really crap article, and like @nzzp I can't believe that I even bothered typing any of that.

@Snowy You inspired me to read it. He does come across as a plonker (boom tish) but so does she. In fact no one comes out of it well.
Not a wine I would be interested in tasting at all.
yeah I decided I needed to read it too...
I drink F-all wine, plus I dont think I'd ever buy a red in a clear bottle!

@taniwharugby The bottom left article has triggered me, as the kids say - because we fucking do!

So a policy condition, and the law is a loophole and falling asleep is an act of god?
He's lucky he wasn't drunk, the police could well have charged him with DIC too!
Amusing how he has lost faith in his Insurer, despite the fact the Ombudsmen and the court saying he was in the wrong too.

This belongs here because a hit out against a bunch of Rugby players is not ‘competitive cricket’. Who are his critics exactly ?

Well that’s not ideal but despite what the writer says it certainly wasn’t a write off like she’s trying to drill into us.

Worst. But still better than many people.
