I recognize the quote but the character was specifically referring to California merlot, which kinda sucks. It's as if they blended it to be the least-offensive wine possible. Imported merlot, on the other hand, can be quite good.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
