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?
The problem with having an open mind is that people keep trying to put things in it.

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.

Ok then. You are my people.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

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.
In my defense, I was left unsupervised.

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.
