		<description><![CDATA[I love reading wine reviews. While some wine critics write well &#8211; and I enjoy reading inspiring and lyrical prose- the affectations of others and their utter nonsense make me hoot with laughter. So I&#8217;m happy either way. Witness the story (told by wine critic Jonathan Meades) of an American nouveau-wine connaisseur who was visiting [...]]]></description>

In regards to poetry, I have willingly followed Baudelaire&#8217;s invocation: &#8220;Enivrez-vous, enivrez-vous sans cesse&#8230;Get drunk, get drunk all the time!
