Zombies Massacre; Wine Advisor Advises "That's All There is to Say About this Situation"

This month's South Main Trolley Tour will be attended by the undead who are celebrating their 5th year of devouring the living downtown. The 2011 Zombie Massacre is this Friday, May 27th and they are collecting canned food items and other non-perishables for the Memphis Food Bank.

Remember that Tuesday is Ladies Day at the Corkscrew = 10% off all wine. I just noticed that the Corkscrew website has a Wine Advisor application. You can enter in information about what you're having for dinner and it will tell you what type(s) of wine to serve. Probably not an exact science but here's how it works:

If you can tell us what you are having for dinner we will suggest a wine to pair with your dinner.
What type of food are you having? : My answer: Pasta
What type of sauce does it have? : My answer: Tomato sauce
Result: Try an Italian red such as a Sangiovese, Valpolicella or a Super Tuscan.
That's all there is to say about this situation. (Hilarious! It actually says that - that's not my two cents!)

Here's another one:
If you can tell us what you are having for dinner we will suggest a wine to pair with your dinner.
What type of food are you having? : My answer: Chicken or Turkey
How is it prepared? : My answer: Roasted
Do you prefer a sweeter wine? : My answer: No
Result: Try a Pinot Noir or a white Mertiage, Viogner or Sancere.
That's all there is to say about this situation. Love that.
But there is a way to disagree as it gives you the option to Create Special Case .

I love the wine application---I wish they had one that could give me dating advice, and end with "that's all there is to say about that." :)
