NSFW Rant http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/2011/08/anthony_bourdai_17.php

Anthony Bourdain on the sale of 9/11 memorial wines said: "That's vomit inducing" and "I will personally leave an upper decker in the bathroom of whoever is responsible for this."

^^I assume you guys mean the commemorative wine, and not the upper-decking .

Upper deckers are always a good way to get your point across.

Not sure I get the fuss - because someone is potentially profiting from labeling a wine? Maybe it's not the most sensitive, but there is a charity aspect. It's not like others haven't profited from those events - construction companies, contractors, architects, videographers, politicians, authors... What could be more American than turn a tragedy into a capitalistic opportunity. That's gotta make the terrorist types nuts.

If that's the goal, they should have made it kosher.

I could make so many tasteless jokes about that wine but I think I will refrain.

Does it get you flying high and then a sudden crash at the end.

I'm sure it is gross in some way, but what is an upper-decker? I didn't join a frat in college, so I'm gross-out-language-impaired.

Generally Bourdain's "Im too cool for everything" attitude annoys me but I fully support his upper decker movement on this one.

And I can't come up with anything nearly as tasteless as you guys, so carry on.
