    Good Morning! Before I even start to read the Malware Guide that a MG advised, I really need some encouragement that I'm not losing my mind and that there are REAL people onboard. :D My PC is not running slow, but it will -- and soon -- so I'm determined to have a cup or two of coffee and see if anyone wants to chat. Of course, I'm a newbie, though not in age. rolleyes So what do ya all do here in the lounge? Cate in Indiana

    The Lounge is just for casual chat and such. Welcome to MajorGeeks by the way. As far as real people, not sure about everyone else, but I am just a bunch of 1's and 0's... :cool

    I got confused by the title of your thread, I have yet to find a glass of merlot that was good...

    A glass of Merlot, eh? Funny you should say that, because that's what I'm drinking as I type. :wine

    The Lounge, as you no doubt gathered, is a bit more informal than the other forums. We just basically catch up with each other and generally goof off.

    As for being human. I'm 'The Ghost Who Walks' - 'The Man Who Cannot Die', according to the press. ;)

    "]THANKS to all who posted a welcome note! I usually avoid chat rooms (especially the Yahoo/Match.com kind), but since it's 2008 and I'm not getting younger, it may be the best place to make friends and learn more about my ailing PC and how to fix it without having a major meltdown. Anyone here from Indiana?

    I am just a muppet who is posing as a real human being. I didn't see anyone mention it but we do have a chat area, which ** musksnipe says, mysteriously** will be revealed to you in due time. ;) See you there...it's all the same folks that have said Hi to you already.

    While some may be wine drinkers, I prefer beer! There are a great number of competent people to solve most any computer problem that you may have that are members of this site. I'm not one of them ( only stick around for the free booze offered in the Lounge ). Welcome to MajorGeeks! :)

    Wear those red shoes and click your heals 3 times and I think thats where Indiana is? or was that Montana? Mmmmmmmmmm


    OK back to Merlot.... Cloof Lynchpin 2005 is my fav, but I generally drink Aussie Hardys Merlot or South African Kumala Merlot.

    hahaha...I guess you're not in 'Kansas' anymore, Halo.:D

    I looked them up. Looks like they carry the Kumala in the US...I'll have to check it out.

    Hhhhehehhehehe Guess not Laura ;)

    But yes do check out Kumala wines as they are nice wines, I generally drink them in whiles Kumala Zenith Chenin Blanc Chardonnay and Reds Kumala Zenith Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz are nice.

    But a good one is La Gioiosa Pinot Grigio Blush, I dont like rose wines but this one is dry and superb, and for those of you in UK you can get from Threshers, Radcliffe's Pinot Gregio Bush, which is another fav of mine.

    Merlot... It starts out so well, nice smell, good taste, then it just dies. No finish. I lean towards the Cabs, Cab blends, Syrahs, and Zinfandels. If I had to pick a Merlot, I guess a Chateau Cadillac would work.

    Heh, heh I knew you wouldn't be far behind in a thread on Merlot. ;)

    I (was) enjoying a bottle of Jacob's Creek Merlot. A nice drop from South Australia. I'll have to send you over some of the local Merlot, so you can try it out for yourself one of these days, 'H'.

    Re: Cabernet Sauvignon:- Yep, not too bad, either. Get's a bit 'heavy' for my palette after a while.




    ...Oh BTW:- Nice to see ya here, Cate. I think she is a "Hoosier Momma", lol.;)
