Food slut

People say great food is like great sex. But after two years of reviewing trendy restaurants, chatting with charming chefs, and indulging in fatted duck breast, I've lost my appetite.

    Death of a wine...

    Gawd, I was so sad to learn that Pinot Noir is now passe`. It's been my favorite California wine for almost fifteen years. (Long before Sideways came along obviously.) And now I have to give up my Russian River Pinots because it's no longer fashionable to drink them?

    I can't read food & wine reviews anymore, or for that matter articles like this one because it's taking all the fun out of being a food lover. It's hard enough keeping up with the kind of jeans I should be wearing and now I have to worry about my wine too?

    Could someone please tell me what this season's fashionable wine is so I don't look foolish ordering Pinot Noir tonight.
