When I started out tending bar the old Irish guys called it behind the stick. I never asked but I guessed it was because the bar was made of wood?
I've come to realise that a tasting room isn't that much different than a real bar. You do meet some really nice people that are into wine but the same dumb-ass public thing rears it's ugly head from time to time. Here are some favorite quotes good & bad from the season so far.
> I'd rather have this bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy....
> Do you have any ice for this?
>No I didn't like it, it was merely tolerably!
>I'm sorry I can't I simply can't taste this! Biggest pretentious Ass award!
>This wine is so good we must get dressed up to taste it! It demands respect!
>This is so good it leaves a signature on my tonque!
>Do you have any alcohol free wine for my child to try?
I actually have come to really like the winery life. It is just enough public interaction along with the chance to be a bit creative. It makes me really happy to teach people how to taste & work with a great group of people.
