Personal note: I keep wondering if readers of British wine publications will ever notice that most of the writers in said publications (which almost always have an MW after their name, repeated every single time they are ever mentioned, because a not doing so would tilt Earth off its axis) seem quite boring when they write about wine. Almost like a bottle of Claret is stuck in their butt and there's nothing they can do about it. (Hint to those diligently counting: This one's over 140 characters, so drink a Ribolla tonight.)King Krak, I Rule the Gamehttp://www.forkandbottle.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128271396089958050.post-51543814370684832432011-03-30T20:03:04.950-07:002011-03-30T20:03:04.950-07:00This is trickier than it looks, because you have t...This is trickier than it looks, because you have to go through and figure out how many previous commenters there are. So, after you've done that, and you think you might be able to win this, and claim the Prize of being able to always have MW after your name (like it's some disease), what about guys, like, um, me, who use a variety of names when making comments?! Bwahhahaa. Only the Great Thomas will be able to view the IP addresses to truly determine who has won this grand and noble prize and who will always remain a wannabee and never, ever be hired by a prestigious British wine publication.
