Y2K Party: My goodness, the world really DID end!

Chardonnay Madness: Somebody's gotta drink that stuff, so it might as well be JD.

1986 California Cabernets: A rather mixed bag. Better call the fire department.

Rhône-A-Rama: A blind tasting. We were so obnoxious that we may never get invited to another one of these again.

Rhônocity: They screwed up and invited us again. Bad idea. JD has some fun with it.

Zins Ahoy: Give us some wine that's bad enough, and we won't be able to tell you what it is. That doesn't stop us from trying.

Alsace and Indian: Not content with pissing off a tasting group, we also manage to piss off our wives. Read all about it and share our secret shame.

Stupids to Concord: Bordeaux, blind. And we get pretty blind ourselves. Why do we keep do this?

Jimmy's Page: That's what the world needs, another Stupid in the making. SY's baby gives his impressions of a couple of wines.

Cull Party 1 2 3 : This is why The Stupids are such a valuable resource. Can you imagine Wine Spectator reviewing a bunch of dogs like this?

Ogier Vertical: Sorry, this is too damned good for JD. A big crowd in Ann Arbor tastes a dozen or so Ogier Côte-Rôties, with Steph Ogier in attendance. Um, doesn't suck.

Zin Blowtorch Scale: Zinfandels keep getting more and more alcoholic. We don't think that's a good trend, so we fight back by whining about exactly how overheated those high-octane Zinfandels really are.
