Not at all. You just need everything clearly explained to you. Sometimes several (hundred) times.

We used to have our resident wine expert give (paid) classes on wine tasting.

You gotta love wine "experts".

90% of them are frauds and the good ones would never announce that they are wine experts.

Even pairing wine with food is stupid. Who decides what is appropriate?

Total BS

"Shammonlier"


Was that an attempt at "Sommelier"?


Anyway, I've been on a bit of a wine kick lately, HOWEVER, gotta disagree w/ KB a smidge. I can pretty much buy any $10.00 1.5 liter of anything (been on a "Barefoot" kick, lately, not sure if that is revealing my inner-ghetto) and be good with it. I tend to like dry wines and I rarely if ever can detect too much "vinegary"-ness.



This may have been discussed out here before but to me wine is basically alcohol-fortified grape juice with very little maintenance required to drink it. Anyone that claims to taste cinnamaon, peach, oak, coffee, caviar, Hubba Bubba, apricot, oak, strawberries, Selma Hayak's vagina, etc, in any bottle of red, to me, is a Cocksmoker from WAY back and not welcome in my home or at my table.

it's the ghetto version


Agreed Munch.

I've got no problem with wine, or people who like their wine. Even if you talk about the wines you like, and why is fine. But wasting money taking classes, and waxing poetic about the bouquet of this and the fruit-flower aspect ratio whatever and how pairing such and such is a no-no, and how such and such year is so much better than their 1955 blend... Can you say- pretentious?

Like people who say "you can't pair red wine with seafood."

Fuck you, yes I can.

I'm talking shit wine here, boys, and I'm not talking about some 1955 bottle of Fuckwad.

My fiance's mom gets this horrible wine from Virginia, it's like sugar water basically.

And there are plenty of good inexpensive wines. One of my favorites is $8

No, it's from some crappy vineyard in Virginia. Don't even remember the name of it.

Just so we are on the same page, when referring to bottle prices, it reflects the 1.5 Liter size, correct? I mean, nobody would waste their time on a 750, would they?
