Wineglass Houses

Is it wrong that I find great pleasure in standing in the wine aisle at the local grocery store and judging all the people buying wine?

I studied a well-dressed older gentleman who obviously worked out and groomed himself well. He must have been expecting a woman/man for dinner because he was holding a jar of spaghetti sauce in one hand, a package of dinner rolls in the other and trying to pick out a bottle of wine.
Would he go for a nice shiraz? A great Zin? Or preferably, a superb Pinot Noir?
He shifted the dinner rolls to the same hand holding the sauce and reached for a bottle. No! Don't do it, man! For the love of gawd, don't!

Merlot.
He went for Merlot.

Good luck getting laid tonight, dude.

Hey now.....what's wrong with a good bottle of Merlot? *gasp* don't tell me you've turned into one of those Sideways-loving, Paul Giamatti-worshipping wine snobs?

Sideways stole that bit from ME!
I was a merlot-hater long before that movie! :)

I saw that movie too. Still think wine is for bitches though. I suppose I have been known to sip a Reisling every now and then; but that's simply experimenting. It'll never make sense to me why some people, whole nations in fact, turn up there nose at a fine beer and opt instead for something like wine. It tastes like complete ass.

Yeah, see, shank...I don't like beer. I've tried. Oh, God, how I've tried because it's cheap and I would have loved to participate in $1 beer nights at bars but I just have never enjoyed the taste. Even when I tried a good beer, I just can't see the draw.
I just like the taste of a good wine better.
I'm a girl, though. What do I know? ;)

Me and wine don't get along well. I like it for cooking though.

When I run out of sherry.

And scotch.
