…Your son’s 3rd grade teacher approaches you and thanks you for helping him put together one of the more ‘interesting’ presentations on France she’s seen in awhile
Come to find out my little one had references not only to Paris and the Eiffel Tower, but also ‘Burgundy’, ‘DRC’, and ‘Rudy Kurniawan’
… and the best part is I didn’t help him at all with it! I guess that’s what I get by having him watch Sour Grapes and ‘A Year in Burgundy’ on Netflix.
And the proud papa said . . .
when you want to correct those pronouncing wine labels incorrectly. Overheard at costco - “Look Honey they got your favorite in… Kirkland Peanot Nore… should we get a couple bottles? its really fruity”
Hearing that I looked around to see who else had noticed and I was smirking and chuckling alone.
Love it!
A quick ‘That’s my boy!’ while trying to dodge the evil-eye from my wife…
…you start swirling your water!
When someone says “mellow” and you hear “malo.”
(This is not a hypothetical.)
When someone is explaining where they are from and you ask them to put it terms of the nearest wine region, because that’s what your understanding of geography is based on.
You must smell the empty wine glass before pouring wine into it
You have more wine glasses than most people have bottles of wine
You have more space allocated for your wine than for your clothes
Nicer car or more wine-- NO BRAINER
Have at least 7 articles of clothing referring a winery, wine or alcohol related humor
Have more than 20 bottles of wine you dont really want but you have it for when non wine drinkers come by (because as a wine geek I must try to convert everyone)
Are in closer contact with your lws than your relatives
You can indentify most wines on tv/movies with a glimpse of the label
Guilty, except for the car and clothing thing. One must be civilized, after all!
Wow! You’re a star! Eight strong additions to our list of indicia.
When burgundy is not a color.
Reduction is not smaller
Pobega is a verb not a noun
Dry is wet
Bright isn’t intelligent
Dumb isn’t stupid
Oxidized isn’t rusted/corroded
When you walk through the wine shop with your young Daughter and she says “crap, crap, crap” as she points to each bin.

You have a few people over for dinner and you give everyone a 2 ounce pour and they look at you dumbfounded.
You race to WB so you can be the first to post that the wine they stole on the Sopranos was Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande.

You (opera singer, 25+ years in the house) get a call from the personal assistant of the intendant. “We are calling because of your reputation among all we have questioned” (is it my singing? My acting? My behavior in rehearsal? Etc…) “We are choosing new wines for the lobby, premiere celebrations, and the opera ball, and everyone said to ask you”
