I’m sorry but #44 is a funny guy.
I dunno, I hate when they put the Sauvignon in my Cabernet, too.

I like to ‘rattle’ then cork next to my ear when presented a wine, so I can tell if it is sound, and then loudly proclaim, “Canned peaches!”

“35 years ago a man ordered a Veuve Clicquot rosé. After tasting the wine he asked to pour some in an ashtray for his poodle. “Yes, the dog normally drinks port, but Champagne is also ok.”
That is a classy poodle…

Does no one else notice that in many of these, the wine snob is the speaker kicking down on someone else’s ignorance. And, of course, none of us are ever like that.

I am still not sure how #1 is eye rolling or even worthy of making fun of. I’ve had a few heavily extracted wines that I really disliked during a tasting where the residual after rinsing the glass out was still noticeable to me. But apparently shame on me for wanting to make sure the next wine can live up to it’s greatest potential.

Lets face the facts. Most of us are wine snobs. If you dont know that it’s because we are surrounded by other wine snobs.

I’m definitely the over-enthusiastic swirler/spiller

I thought it was pretty pathetic but then I am probably guilty of 51 of the 50.
I should add my favorite
“If you think I am a wine snob, you should talk to my sommelier.”
I’m still guilty if swirling my water glass and ultimately splashing it all over myself. I thought it was just old age.

I am a little surprised that I received two thumbs up for deleting my post above, and maybe a little more surprised that I was not awarded a badge for this happening.

Anything served to me in a glass with anything resembling a stem is likely to get swirled at some point. At least I can resist swirling mugs and wide-bottom glasses.

Recently someone who works at a different winery told one of our tasting room staff that he had worked the 2011 harvest at Patricia Green Cellars.
He definitely had not. Nor any other harvest.
I edited out me kvetching about a house guest.

I thought the poodle showed bad taste liking Veuve.

#31 has happened to me a few times over the years specifically regarding Ferrari Carano. I did point out that it does say Sauvignon blanc directly below Fume blanc. It doesn’t help.
I thought #44 was pretty funny actually (and I like California cabs)!
