Just who are we, anyway?

The Wine Snobbery Manifesto

We are wine snobs. We are on a budget.

We believe in the equality of all wines and wine drinkers. The justice of wine consumption -- that it should be available to all. That all ought to drink wine. Even college students on a budget. For we are just that: desperately poor, soon to be graduates of a private liberal arts college, soon to be seeking jobs and grad schools and scholarships -- and in spite of it all, we remain wine snobs.

How do we do it? Read this blog and find out. Wine snobbery is not a 12-step program but a way of life. A way of life that all can achieve. The ultimate form of equality and justice for all -- or, perhaps, a new ideal of communism. Whatever. If the Founding Fathers drank wine, then Marx probably did too. So did the bourgeoisie and the anti-bourgeoisie. So did the rich and so did the poor. So will you and so will I.

Life is like wine and wine is the stuff of life. It doesn't get much more complicated than that.
