We're going to one of those Brazilian Steakhouses where they walk around with the skewers of meat and you choose whatever you would like. What would be a good table wine for this? A malbec? Caberne5 Sauvignon? |

Either would work, but for sheer versatility I'd look for a reasonably priced Zinfandel. Red, of course, not white. |

Also, you might want to look into South American wines. They are making retty great Malbecs, Cabs and even now some Tempranillo. Steer clear of their Pinot Noir and Merlots. |

Just check the f*cking alcohol percentage. If it's 11% or less give it to the wife. If it's more than about 14%, see if there's any way to hoard about 6 glasses and drink them in the toilets. If you like your wine kind of light, go for pinot. If you like a bit more body go for Cab-sav. If you want it big and beefy, go for a Syrah or Shiraz. Under no circumstances should you drink white wine. You might as well just well high-heels and be done with it. If anybody rolls their eyes at your choices, swear at them in French. |

Incidentally, since we're talking about wine, and I've just finished a bottle, is there anything more pathetic than a snooty waiter? Some bloke, who barely managed to graduate freaking high school, thinks that by putting on a suit and a fake accent he can talk down to me? What. The. F#ck? I'm paying your motherf*cking wages, you shambolic loser! |

Full Definition of shambolic: Chiefly British. Obviously disorganized or confused. Frequently1 hurled at well-meaning waiters by drunken patrons clutching sixpacks of empty wineglasses. 1Okay, maybe not frequently. I made that last part up. |

Lol, D'Oh, lol Cats. I love Churrascarias. When I lived in Brazil we would go once a week or so, there were so many. I've been to a couple in Manhattan, but it's been ages. |

That one movie set merlot back 50 years. Which is a good thing. It is made to blend, not to stand on its own. |

He had two beers, I had water. Didn't see the point as I was more interested in filling up on dinner. |
