Talk Wine & Colorado's Wine Country is celebrating a milestone today. It took a little over six months to reach, but this is the blog's 200th post.
To honor this momentous occasion, here are a few of our favorite toasts and wine quotes:
“Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.” -- Aristophanes
“I would like to make a toast to lying, stealing, cheating and drinking. If you're going to lie, lie for a friend. If you're going to steal, steal a heart. If your going to cheat, cheat death. And if you're going to drink, drink with me.” -- Anonymous
“Best while you have it use your breath - There is no drinking after death.” -- Anonymous
“If you drink enough wine, it doesn't matter how bad it is.” -- Anonymous
“The wine urges me on, the bewitching wine, which sets even a wise man to singing and to laughing gently, and rouses him up to dance and brings forth words which were better unspoken.” -- Homer
“Here's a toast to the roast that good fellowship lends, With the sparkle of beer and wine; May its sentiment always be deeper, my friends, Than the foam at the top of the stein.” -- Anonymous
So, here's a toast of our own to the next 200 blog posts. A thanks to all our followers; we couldn't have done it without you. So let's raise a glass together! Cheers! Santé! Salud!

Congratulations. From what I know of the blogosphere, many people strt blogs in a flurry of enthusiasm but quit after not-too-many posts. I've enjoyed yours and have it on my blogroll. Keep it up, please.

Just a shoutout from a few South African wine lovers.

joeshico -- Keep on chugging at the posting, esp. the wine reviews. If you review any Colorado wines, let me know!
Congrats on your 200th post!
By far, my favorite quote was: “I would like to make a toast to lying, stealing, cheating and drinking. If you're going to lie, lie for a friend. If you're going to steal, steal a heart. If your going to cheat, cheat death. And if you're going to drink, drink with me.” -- Anonymous
Very nice :)
bassboys, appreciate the shout out. We always love to hear from other wine regions around the world. Truly, viticulture is now a global phenomenon.
Thanks, Sunnyberra. We agree, the quote is both funny and poetic. We'll post more wine quotes as we come across them.
Well congradulations on your posts! My favorite for these past few days has been: "Drink wine and everything will be fine".
Keep up the great writings.
