Thank you for your invaluable input Rodram.
I believe this was a serious disquisition.

It was a joke and you know it mokoa, didn't other people post several jokes from different commenters in the Sandbox recently? I can go as far as saying one of them was highly offensive and anti-simetic (Nutting Buckeye 5-25-2011) but if you and dennisrn are so easily intimidated by me, maybe you should run to your mommies so you could watch cartoons with dennisrn and it'll make you feel all better.

Oh, and one other thing mokoa, my sister is Jewish and I'm highly offended by NuttingBuckeye's anti-simetic post and considering the relationship between Muslims and the Jewish people, I can also say it was highly inflammatory.

You have failed miserably in recognizing the race-baiting joke and I am offended by it, so I have logged several complaints with the administrators about that and your bias towards me for giving me an infraction over a joke that wasn't over the line.

Don't bother going to Nuttingbuckeyes post to do damage control , I've already done a screen grab.

If that post offended you so much why did you not report it with the icon?

Start your thread on that if you wish, but stick to the topic of this thread here.

Your attempt at misdirection is laudable considering you're not very good at debate mokoa, the onus is on you to recognize blatantly anti-semitic postings not me. Nice try though. I won't be posting anything else, my work is with the administrators now.

I stay away from pretentious and annoying! And those who try too hard to be cool, seen & heard. Not my type of crowd.

I like a NICE yet laid back atmosphere 9as I'm a laid back easy going person). A place where I can tell the wine guy just what type of wine I like and he/she gets it and brings me wine to satisfy my pallette w/o getting a tude because I'm PICKY! I know what I like and don't like.
I like full bodied reds, with a BITE! not too sweet, not too dry. I want to taste it/feel it on my tongue and in the back of my throat. I want to enjoy the wines with a hint of spice/tobacco/berries etc.
You know you have a good wine when you can smell & taste what's in it and it doesn't have to be costly!
I want to see good legs & head on my wine glass, from the wine.

Enjoying wine is like enjoying sex!!

The Monterey in Southtown has a small but always intriguing wine selection, and the food ranges from fun and fantastic to pretentious and annoying.

I'd also suggest the bar at Luke on Houston Street, with a thoughtful if not huge wine selection. I didn't like Copa because it had too many supermarket wines. Lots of wines but not very many good ones.

Good luck, WM. Let us know which wine bar you visited and what you thought. It has been several years since I enjoyed your company, but I remember your class and good taste.

[JackBlack]

try Max's wine dive at the Quarry

[MsPrittiKitti]

i wouldnt mine joining you if you decide to go....
then we can "finally" meet!!

I agree Zink or Copa is the best around San Antonio.
