A winemaker ...............hmmmm..............ok,whats the difference between a winemaker and God ?

































God don't think he is a winemaker :rof:

"If you ruled the world, what is the first thing you would outlaw?
Bad parking - those lines are there for a reason."
Could this be the cause of too much wine making/drinking.

Ozfazer6 - You're right, there are too many egos and people full of themselves in this industry. I am a production winemaker working in a facility with a 15 million gallon tank and 50,000 barrel capacity. No ego or limelight for me. I'm just a regular guy.


BlueMONday - No way Dude, I was talking about other people's parking. I'm kinda anal about that, just park the d*mn car in the spot already. And I never drive with even a drop of alcohol on me. Just a personal choice.


Thanks for the hard time guys! :thumbup:

I worked in the wine industry for 10 years Gmickey2001, I know exactly what you mean :thumbup:

Wine . . . mmmmmmmmm!!! I love a good wine. A lot of good wines are far from expensive too.
