Stupid Questions 1

When I stared my job at the wine store I thought I would get a lot of questions that would help me further my knowledge of wine. Here is a few that haven’t helped.


Me: Can I help you?

Customer: What kind of wine do old people drink?

Me: Ummm….WHAT? (I think is he joking?)

Customer: What kind of wine do old people drink?

Me: (Nope he’s Serious)….Well how about a lighter wine, one with lower alcohol.



Me: Can I help you?

Customer: What kind of Champagne do men drink?

Me: (One that comes in a can)



Me: Can I help you?

Customer: Do you have any (certain brand name) Rum?

Me: No, sorry.

Customer: OK, I will take this magnum of Champagne instead.



This one is from a coworker.

Customer: Do you have a knife? I would like to shot gun this beer.



Wine Review

Cono Sur – Viogner.

Colchagua Valley, Chile

$10.99

Appearance – Light Straw Core, No rim

Nose – Intense – Fruity – Peaches, Floral. Med complexity

Palate – Med Acidity, Light Body, Med Alcohol, Good Length, Nice Balance
