...sure why my instinct, upon learning that all 50 states make wine, was to try one from each. If I found out that every state has a water park, I wouldn't try to go to each one. That's because water parks can't get you drunk...
...star] | What They're Drinking In Italy: Italy's agriculture ministry has announced it will allow wines produced under its DOC (denominazione di origine controllata) quality-assurance label to be sold in boxes, in response to requests from DOC winemakers in the Trentino-Alto Adige region.

It's their revenge not to let us go back," he says. Another man, taking shelter at an old school...
...Smoke is still the highest-grossing stoner comedy? Not so much surprised as proud. I'm a proud daddy. [Laughs] I'm very happy because Cheech and I are going back on the road. So we're going to be able to capitalize. We're like fine wine, you know. That wine has been put in the cellar for 30 years and all of a sudden you're bringing it out, and you're going to open it up and it's going to be a party for everybody...
