Not really sure how I missed this:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/31/AR2007083102089.html "'Do you ever drink wine?' people ask me, as though beer were a prison rather than a playground. A day may pass when I do not drink wine, but never a week. Whatever is argued about other pleasures, it is not necessary to be monogamous in the choice of drink. Beer is by far the more extensively consumed, but less adequately honored. In a small way, I want to help put right that injustice."
