My sophisticated, yet hardly arrogant readers, are no doubt aware of this fact: the finest wines in France are organized according to various appellations.
An appellation is a geographical region monitored by a very strict set of rules to guarantee the highest quality. The rule books often run to hundreds of pages. Aside from keeping quality up the appellation system is frequently behind the extraordinarily high prices of wine.
This method has not been successfully duplicated in the United States.
Until now.
I have started the Cleveland Heights' United Quadrants Appellation. It is going to be much better than Bordeaux and all those other soon to be second raters.
Right now, my appellation has just two rules:
1) You have to win a spiderman from a Grab-a-Prize machine and display it in your vineyard.
2) You have to promise to be my best friend forever (bff).
Those who join me will certainly be clinking glasses, to our extremely marked up success, in the near future.
