Clos Du Bois paid for this study.

Did they have any help from the Baroness Lafite?

.....as I fill my glass with Merlot, a toast to all.

This would make sense! I once saw a wino perform surgery on himself after he woke up and he had slept on broken shards of glass.

Lol drinking alcohol kills braincells = brainworkout for the highly educated.


Merlot tastes like crap sorry! It might have health benefits but serously people cant be this dense.

Where do I sign up to be a test subject?!?

He's probably subsidized by the American Wine Makers Association.

I have tried every wine possible and they all taste like puke. Seriously.. rotten grape puke. I want to use my wine glasses... and all I can put in them is Dr Pepper. If I put my pinky up I feel special.

Yummy Chambord.. wonder if that would do...

If you can get a hold of it where you are try some Duplin muscadine or their scuppernong. Some of their wines tastes exactly like your out in the woods and ran across a muscadine vine. A few taste just like muscadines , very tasty.

Ive tried mid and high.. and a few very high.. and its all pukey tasting. I mean Im not being funny... it has this acidic rotten fruit vomit quality that really turns me off. I like sweeeeet stuff. I get a fountain soda of Dr Pepper and put even more cherry syrup in it. LOL! Im a bourbon and whiskey lover... and its the sweet in those I love... and the musk of the barrel.

Season... I even tried wines from Italy when we were IN Itly.. gag.

I dont drink as a rule.. I get, erm, ROWDY. I want to fight and drive.. and cant do either when Im drinking. So, I imagine me posting drunk would be a complete disaster that involves a ban and a tip to DHS cybercrimes division ...

You are not a wine person, and that is OK. I like Merlot, but it isn't love at first sip. Like beer, it is an acquired taste.

Yes we can pontificate the origins of man while 1/2 in the bag, I do not touchy the keyboardy at any time after 2 real glasses of wine.

Dont like beer either.

Im going to try what was suggested earlier. Seriously, I dont think I was born with whatever tastebuds wine drinkers have that tells them its yummy. Ive sure tried.. I mean Im not a young kid.. and Ive tried for years to find one. Even wine tasting trips with a few friends. Felt like I might as well be sipping mad dog 20/20.

I don't think Merlot was good at first. I first started with zinfandel, then moved to merlot. I really don't super like beer, it is an offensive taste to me. But if I was to try, I imagine I could develop a taste for it.

This explains it

I have seen many an Einstein recite very difficult equations while in the middle of a "brain stimulation" at bars. It is truly impressive.

Were they trying to Check if their change was correct?
