So Why Should You Give a Damn?

Hey pal, you’re the one who came to ForgottenGrapes.com in the first place!

But if you really need some reasons as to why you should check out ForgottenGrapes.com further and re-visit us every Thursday to find out about a brand-new Forgotten Grape, well then, my friend, we’ve got reasons. Oh, do we got reasons. Ten of them, in fact:

Because there are hundreds – literally hundreds – of fantastic, grossly-ignored Forgotten Grapes out there just begging for a good home. A good home down your gullet and in your belly. Don’t you want to help them out? Don’t you want to give them a good home? What are you, some kind of monster? Don’t you hate injustice? Where’s your compassion? Where’s your heart, man?

2.	Because you’re so bored with today’s most popular varietals that someone could just as easily serve you a bottle of blended pen ink, cranberry juice, and all-purpose bleach and you wouldn’t know the difference because you just don’t care anymore.

3.	Because deep down, you’re dying to find out which wines are going to be Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, and Barack Obama, and one day very, very soon you will. And when we say you will, you will.

4.	Because you find the words “Counoise,” “Baco Noir,” and “Garganega” absolutely hilarious. Don’t worry. You’re not alone.

5.	Because if you don’t, this dog may very well go hungry.

Because you’re one of those fun, adventurous sorts who’s always ready to try either something new or something you’ve never tried before and then brag to your friends about how you were the first one to try it and how great it is and how they need to run out immediately and try it...even though you’re already over it and have moved on to the next thing.

Because you love wine more than your wife, your husband, your kids, your dog, your cat, your hamster, your mistress, your pool boy/personal trainer/secret lover, your car, your house, your mortgage, your locked-in interest rate, your 401(k), your parents and your nana combined. Don’t worry. You’re not alone.

8.	Because you’re a functional alcoholic. Don’t worry. You’re not alone.

Because you desperately want to become a Friend of the Forgotten Grapes so you can become a friend to Chris. Because you know that by becoming a Friend to Chris, you can become a friend to Teresa. And that’s really what you want, deep down inside, more than anything else in the world: to be a Friend of Teresa.

10.

Because you want to expand your mind, expand your palate, and discover several years’ worth of new and exciting wine varietals you can try, appreciate,and work into your regular wine rotation for substantially less than you’d spend on a Rutherford Chardonnay or a Vosne-Romanee Burgundy...not that there’s anything wrong with Napa or Burgundy.

If you laughed out loud or nodded your head at any of these reasons, then you’ve definitely come to the right place. Take a look around, enjoy yourself, and come back next week for another fascinating take on a brand-new Forgotten Grape.

If you didn’t laugh or nod, well then, still take a look around, enjoy yourself, and
come back next week. We’ll win you over yet.
