So we’ve had this age old problem on our production trips where MTV doesn’t pick up any extraneous alcohol tabs or costs. The easiest way around this, we’ve discovered, is to build your “creative” around alcohol. Hence, our desire to stop at a winery and “learn” all about the vinting process. Thanks to the local efforts of Chris Pontius’s brother Matt, we hooked up with Joe at Grey Wolf Cellars in Paso Robles, the heart of Central Coast wine country (Greg Wolf, unfortunately, was unable to meet us at the Grey Wolf winery). Following a quick tour of the machinations behind the conversion of grapes to wine, Joe set us up at a table with a number of bottles, two of which were classily chugged in full by Loomis Fall—whom we all expected to literally fall soon thereafter. While learning the finer tips and tricks of wine tasting, Pontius somehow managed to segue into sexual positions—how I have no idea—starting with the “Jade Gate,” a back-to-back technique for the more well-endowed, I believe. This of course lead to the introduction of Scott Manning, another famously large “member” of the San Luis Obispo region, more specifically Atascadero. With Chris playing the female role, Scott displayed a more involved position in which the girl is upended on her head against a wall (happily portrayed by Loomis) and entered from behind. Since Scotty didn’t have a name for this maneuver, we dubbed it the “Scream For Me,” seeing as all three members of the band were involved and it seemed somewhat appropriate, especially with Scott on the giving end.
