Wino of the Week
Everyone has a dream, something you want to do with your life.
Sometimes, that dream is just slightly out of your reach for
whatever reason. In the case of Charles Ray Fuller of Crowley,
Texas, that dream was to start a record business. The problem
was Charlie had no scratch...
So, being an enterprising young 21-year-old, Charlie decided to
"borrow" the money from his girlfriend's mother, Paula Prettyman.
According to reports, the Chuckmeister got his hands on a check,
forged Prettyman's signature and it was off to the bank to cash the
check.
The plans was foolproof. You go to the bank, hand them the
check, collect the cash, and voila, you're in the record business.
Now Charlie realized he might only get one shot at this little check
forging scheme and he wanted to make sure he got enough money on his
first attempt so he filled out the check for... the tidy
little sum of... Three hundred and sixty BILLION dollars!!!
That's $360,000,000,000.00.!!! I can't imagine how he got
caught... ???

The alert bank teller sensed something was amiss. Unnamed
sources quote the teller as saying, "I was pretty sure that the only
living person who could afford to write a $360 billion check is
WinoWally but I called Ms. Prettyman anyway. She said that she
did not write that check!"
Seriously, do you really have to make that call?
It should be noted that Mr. Fuller was not reported to
be under the influence of alcohol at the time of his arrest.
(He did have some marijuana and a handgun.) So why did the
crack staff of 'Stuff award Charles this honor? Well
obviously, you have to have killed many, many brain cells over a
long period of time to even think you can go into a bank and walk
out with $360 extra large. Therefore, Charlie Fuller, you are
WinoStuff's Wino of the Week!

Winery
of the Month
Here's the dilemma... You're the leader of the world's last
remaining superpower. (That should narrow it down. Hint:
It's NOT France...) You are hosting a dinner to honor one of
the world's few real spiritual leaders. You are somewhat of a bumbling twit and you
need to choose a wine to serve with the dinner. What do you
do? You do what any red-blooded American president would do.
You turn to California. In this case, the brain trust at the
White House turned to Sebastiani Vineyards for the wine for the big
Papal dinner. That's certainly enough to earn Sebastiani the
industry's most coveted award, WinoStuff's
Winery of the Month!

Pope Benedict XVI and his
entourage arrive in Washington DC...
Yes, winos, the Pope visited the White House this past week and,
while he couldn't stay for dinner, the President and Mrs. Bush held
a dinner party in his honor. (Damn, can you imagine being so
important that you can blow off a dinner in your honor at the White
House? Geez, this dude has some juice!) And the wine
that was served at the big Papal shindig? Well, it was none
other than the Sebastiani Vineyards 2005 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay.
 
While I'm sure the Dutton Chard was very "popalistic",
I have long been a big fan of Sebastiani's basic cabernet offering. The Sebastiani Sonoma county cab is a nice medium-bodied,
fruit forward cab
that will cost you like $13 at Bottle King!. Plus, if this winery
is good enough to be served at a White House dinner that Pope Benedict
XVI was too busy too attend, then it's good enough for the idiots at
WinoStuff!
Congrats, Sebastiani! WinoJohn

New Feature!
WinoBabe of the Month!
This month's Wino Babe of the Month shares a
surname with last month's WBotM. How whack is that? Plus, she used to
work at Colgin Cellars, home of another WBotM, Ann Colgin! It's a
small, small world, isn't it.

Coincidences aside, this month's WinoBabe is none other than Michelle
Edwards. Michelle is a graduate of UC Davis with a degree in
viticulture and enology. She is currently the winemaker at Cliff Lede
Vineyards in Napa Valley. And now her resume is complete.
Congratulations, Michelle, you are our
WinoBabe of the Month!
