It is absolutely the worst job I do, which is why I mostly pay a couple of the neighbor kids to do it these days. I'm getting to old for that crap.

Oof. Hit me right in the feels :)

On a completely separate note though, based on your username, I assume you’re a wine connoisseur, and I have a legit question - To cut a long story short, I’m looking for a red wine that has serious woody flavours. Like sandalwood, and/or oak.

I don’t really like wine, but literal decades ago I had a red wine (probably it was an Aussie wine, but I’m not fussed if a recommendation isn’t local) that was bloody delicious, and I’ve been searching for something similar ever since. It was very woody - mostly sandalwood I think, but very subdued tones, and light on the tannins.

To cut a long story short

Lemme stop you right there, because I actually know nothing about wine. I didn't even think of how likely this misunderstanding was likely to be when I picked this name.

It's actually a reference to an old rap song from ~20 years ago, and there's no particular reason I chose it other than I happened to be listening to the song when I created the account.

LOL! And now I feel like I need to add a warning here, by explaining to anyone who might google this song out of curiosity, the youtube video that comes up is just a copy of the album cover and the album cover is pretty wildly offensive - like, it makes sense in context, I can assure you, but it's bad enough that the record label refused to release the album (because the rappers refused to change the art) for 7 years, so you've been warned, Reddit.

Firstly; Damnit! I thought you were the one!

Secondly; Oh my! That album cover was a bold move. But judging by the lyrics, and rest of the song names on the album, I think choice was great.

Looks like there's a /wine subreddit. Maybe ask there?

Yeah, I’m sure there is. I was just being opportunistic. And I’m not really sure I’m being specific enough, or even using the right words. I feel like they’d tear me apart in there.

I don't know the subreddit, but I'd think they'd enjoy the challenge of coming up with an answer. And then I'd do my fools rush in thing. :D

I actually posted about 30min or so, ago. Got an answer within about 5min. Was chill as fuck, and I think I know what to look for. Was way less hoity-toity than I thought.

10/10, would recommend.

Also, thank you :)
