And <i>I<\/i> learned about it the hard way - by buying and drinking lots and lots of different kinds of wine - not by being steered by something as crude and pedestrian as advertising. I like to think I'm not so easily led - but, I'm kidding myself. <\/p>\n<p>When I bought my first Nick Drake CD, it had a little sticker on it with a Volkswagon logo that said \"With <i>Pink Moon<\/i>, as featured in the VW Cabriolet commerical!\" While I initially snickered at the blatant commercialism, I have to admit, that great commercial - where the group of pretty hipsters drive around what looks like the Florida Keys at night listening to Pink Moon instead of going to that rockin house party - nudged me into buying that CD in the first place. <\/p>\n<p>So, maybe someone will see the sign, try a Pinot and say \"Hey, yeah, this soft supple wine really is a nice change from the usual Merlot \/ Chardonnay routine. It's worth the extra two dollars a bottle!\" And then there will be more Pinot Noir at the parties and get-togethers I end up at, and even better, maybe someone will buy a bottle as a gift for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motorola v550 Caught this little ad hanging on a wine rack at a local supermarket today.
