Uncle Kev: Defiling Chardonnay Redux

RE: Defiling Chardonnay
Great going Sam. DFO steps away for one minute and see what you do? As if journalists don't have a bad enough reputation as elitist, pandering snobs who would rather comb hummus out of Osama bin Laden's beard before standing in a grocery line with a beer-drinking, blue-collared American, here you go spouting off about your Chardonnay being aged in fine working man steel instead of precious oak casks beloved by Frenchmen and stamping your tassel-loafered foot in a petulent tantrum. And you haven't even thanked Bob for once again selflessly riding his loofa pony to rescue your sorry ass, steering the thread into butt-gusting manly humor and away from your preppy whingeing. Dammit Sam, when will you learn? It's Night Train, never Chardonnay/Uncle Kev.

Question: Do you think journalists are elitists?
