Midnight in the garden of good and badware

So, there you are, browsing through the bi-weekly LCBO Vintages circular, and you come upon an entry for Angrove's Vinyard Select Shiraz 2004. (It's even made it to the back cover.) There's a 5-stars-out-of-5 rave about the wine from Australia's Winestate Magazine. You want to check out just who these Winestate authorities are, and you Google the name. What you see is ominous. "This site may harm your computer". You click on it anyway. You get intimidated and look at a cached page instead---let Google do the dangerous legwork. Gee, it looks harmless to me. But do you take the leap and go there yourself...? Not this puppy. Do you wish Google was a bit more specific with their warnings? You bet.
