It's funny to read wine jokes. Does anyone know of any sites with wine jokes? I know they have plenty of alcohol jokes, but winemaking and wine in general? I enjoyed the "Bum Wines" site...

OK. I want some of that there NASCARbernet...

They'll be a step up from nightrain, albeit not a big one!

If you don't have it pick up a copy of Berry's "130 New Wine Recipes". Not only is it a good source and a good read but it has tons of excellent Winemaker Jokes. Definitely worth it for the jokes alone.
