The great white lie: white wine is only for sissies

The Great White Lie:
White Wine is Only for Sissies

by Alan Goldfarb
July 29, 2008

It showed up again the other day. In an article about that elite and effete Obama, there was a paragraph that ended something like: “… Chardonnay sippers.”

Now, I’m not an apologist for Chardonnay (although I must admit here, I am one for Obama), but it happens over and over whenever some jerk finds the need to impugn someone’s manhood. They go right to the white wine and Brié bromide.

What the hell is wrong with white wine? And how did they come up with the idea of equating white wine with a lack of cajones?
