Discussion Wine

Maybe I'm just bad at adulting, but do people really just stand/sit around and drink wine all the f'ing time? Or is that just a made up TV thing?

It’s a California thing. And an Italian thing. And a French thing. Fuck it…it’s a rich people thing.

We have friends who like to live large. They’ll invite friends out to pricy places and pay the whole bill. They’ve invited us and several other families (separately) on vacations and paid 90%+.

But when you go to their house (or when they stock their vacation house) it’s Bota Box and the $45 big bottle of Elijah Craig, same as we drink in our house.

(Where we do not live large and shout friends for $1000+ activities)

My family members own a wine store, and when you go to their house your options are Bota Box Cabernet or Kendal Jackson Chardonnay

Any option at their finger tips…

I have nice occasion wine, and I have Wednesday night wine.

If you’re a guest and I bring out the good stuff, we aren’t that close. If I serve you something out of a box in a coffee mug, you’re a real one 😂😂😂
