The Ohio State Fair, dry since the 19th Century, will now allow beer and wine sales.
Several American high school students have been suspended from school for as long as four weeks for drinking wine on a trip to Italy.
Consumers who have always wanted to be wine judges can take part in the 2011 Golden Nose in New York’s Finger Lakes district. Amateur wine judges are invited to come and sniff, swish and spit like the pros in early June. (Pictured, 2010 runner-up Silver Nose winner Lee Marvin.)

GREAT idea. Getting fair goers tanked up before they get on the rides. What could possibly go wrong?
Now, what pairs well with elephant ears?

Steve, there’s an idea: wine pairings with fair food. I’m getting right on that.

My favorite Lee Marvin role, and even with his alcohol intake, I never thought it could somehow relate to wine.

I agree: Marvin as Kid Shalleen was an act of comic genius, and his puffed-up dignity as he redeemed himself (and the subsequent deflation of that dignity) showed his real acting talent.
It relates to wine in a number of ways, but mostly in the fact that last time I watched it I blew Pinot Noir through my nose. Man,that stuff stings.

Well, it’s the powder that is supposed to go through the nose–Pinot Noir is drinkable…
I adore Cat Balou for a number of reasons, but of course mostly for Lee’s role/s in it, not to mention his horse!
