A fair restaurant corkage fee is:
$10 for casual dining, $30 for fine.
A tell-tale sign of a wine snob is:
That stupid wine glass holder around their neck (Jesus are you that lazy?) or people who say, "I only buy/drink...."
The wine region I most want to visit:
My "wish list" of wines I want to acquire soon:
The 2009 Sutter Home White Zin. Or was it the 1990 Latour? I always get those two mixed up.
My biggest wine pet peeve:
People who pour their own glass put no one elses. Those people should be sentenced to 10 years hard labor.
My dream wine to one day taste or own:
None. If there's a wine I want today, but I can't afford it or don't want to pay that much, I forget about it. Too many good wines out there to get caught up on a "dream" wine.
The best wines I have ever tasted:
Have always been with friends.
The people with whom I most often enjoy wine:
The last wine I had that I absolutely loved:
2006 Monte Volpe Peppolino. Yum, Greg Graziano makes some very good wines.
What I think of the movie Sideways:
My thoughts on the 100 point rating scale made famous by Robert Parker and emulated by seemingly everyone:
Do we really need 100 points? How about streamline it to 10? Seriously, does an 87 pt wine carry anymore weight than an 84 pt wine? Just say 8 and we all get it.
My wine travels have taken me to the following wine regions:
Tuscany, Umbria, Campania, Rhone, Provence, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, Paso Robles/San Luis Obispo, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara.
