The Official Wine Thread!

Facts tell, stories sell. Everyone loves a good story (assuming it's actually a good story)
As a wine sales rep, let me tell you that I very much appreciate the "self-actualized speed-taster." They already know what good wine is, they just have to decide if it works for them and their program. I can taste through 15 wines in 10 minutes. I love those people.
Those who need a story generally are the ones who know less about wine. The more you know about wine, the more you can smell a bullshit story. By "bullshit" I don't mean untrue, I just mean marketing.
I'm fine if it's a hot chick with a smoothing vocal tone.
So far it hasn't been.
But the last two times it was an annoying Isreali chick and a pedaphile.
I must really give the game away with my facial expression.
Because it's always weird.
Just give me my wine and fuck off!
And Happy Easter!
There is a Barolo/Barbaresco thing happening at the Intercontinental in DTLA tomorrow. Consumer tasting from 6-9. I think it's $75. 150 producers showing over 200 wines.
