The Classics
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing- oh, hi! Boy, it's been a long time since anyone caught me at work! Let me introduce myself, I'm the guy who writes the Lorem ipsum copy on all those half-finished sites all across the web. Pleased to meet you! Would you like some wine?
Oh, I never sit down before a computer to write without a bottle of wine to keep me company. Why not, right? It's so easy! I never have to innovate or deviate, it's just lorem ipsum, lorem ipsum, lorem ipsum back and forth the whole day long. That gives me plenty of time to focus on a wine with a cedar bouquet and rosemary aromas, this 2008 Cabernet Franc.
This lovely three-pack has a core as sweet as the words which first made me appreciate literature, Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Really gets your heart beating, doesn't it? The sort of words that make you hungry for pork and cherries or a grilled duck breast! Not coincidentally, the 2008 Cabernet Franc is quite easily paired with both.
Maybe in some other world, I'm a famous journalist, spitting out new sentences that captivate audiences across the globe. But between you and me, that seems like a WHOLE lot of work, right? Much easier to just paste in socially acceptable Cicero and move on to the next glass of wine. Speaking of which… almost time for another!
