Well, this IS the trolling thread after all.

Yep. You saw one of mine yesterday.

Like you said, probably not necessary. It's such a basic comfort
food. Speaking of the basics, here's the rest of that recent wine
article.

      Title: Back To Basics, The Six Noble Grapes Pt2
 Categories: Wine, Info
      Yield: 1 serving
 
           Chardonnay
           Riesling
           Sauvignon Blanc
           Cabernet Sauvignon
           Merlot
           Pinot Noir
 
  Cabernet Sauvignon: In spite of its traditional image, Cabernet
  Sauvignon is actually a relatively new grape variety. Created in the
  17th century from a cross between the red grape Cabernet Franc and
  the white grape Sauvignon Blanc, the grape quickly became a
  viticultural favorite because its thick skins make it resistant to
  both rot and frost. Those thick skins also provide tannins—the
  tongue-puckering notes that lend structure and age-worthiness to a
  wine. Some of the world's most expensive bottlings are made with
  this grape, but it comes in more affordable versions, too. Try a
  California classic, the 2006 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet
  Sauvignon from the Napa Valley if you want an affordable way to find
  out what the fuss is all about with Napa Cabs. It has distinctive
  cherry, green pepper, herbal, and currant aromas and flavors.
  Cabernet Sauvignons mellow over time, so don't be surprised if you
  find this wine a bit rough at present. If you want to try an older
  wine without waiting, look for a bottle from the 2003 vintage. You
  can still find these in the stores, and one I had recently was the
  2003 Chateau Souverain Cabernet Sauvignon from the Alexander Valley.
  Strong bell pepper and cassis aromas lead to flavors of plum,
  cassis, and oak with a cinnamon-spice aftertaste.
  
  Merlot: Astonishingly popular in the 1990s, and now much-maligned,
  Merlot is Cabernet Sauvignon's more curvaceous, approachable cousin.
  It is the third most popular grape in cultivation, with
  early-ripening fruit that is somewhat susceptible to rot because of
  its thinner skins. Of course, the thinner skins make for lush,
  fruity wines. Try the 2006 Falesco Pesano from Italy's Umbria
  region. with its herbal, cherry, and roasted coffee aromas and
  flavors, or a Merlot from Washington State like the 2007 Substance
  Merlot, with its notes of cherry, berry, tobacco, spice, and
  licorice.
  
  Pinot Noir: The red that bumped Merlot off its pedestal, Pinot Noir
  is known for its finicky growing habits and its astronomical prices.
  Traditionally associated with France's Burgundy region, Pinot Noir
  has well-established enclaves in California's Russian River Valley
  and in the Santa Barbara area, as well as in Oregon. It's also
  widely grown in New Zealand, where the wines can represent
  exceptional value—such as the 2006 Catalina Sounds Pinot Noir , a
  lovely wine with lacy, crushed raspberry and earthy mineral aromas
  and flavors. Another affordable Pinot Noir from closer to home is
  the 2007 Wild Horse Pinot Noir from the Central Coast of California.
  It's aromatic, with a silky texture and flavors of raspberry,
  cherry, and chalk accompanied by allspice and clove notes.
