I enjoy Champagne, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Gewurztraminer a great deal with that food group, and also have had many MANY Pinot Noir's with duck.  |

The wine often leads to the sex. |

... when you can't really enjoy a bottle of wine at a restaurant because you know really well how much is the release price of the bottle you are drinking and think it is a rip-off... And, EVERYthing everybody else has mentioned before... guilty as charged..
Here is to great wines, expensive watches and... "low" APR credit cards...

Do you have to take ALL of your recyclable items to a center?
Yes, you just drive up and dump into the bin. It's easy. Not a big city here, just a small town in CT.
I'm in the same boat W+A. I can pay if I want to for curbside, but I find it's very easy to take them to the recyclables dumpster, right next to the grocery I'm at regularly. Besides, it's just glass and metal for me, I read the paper at work,  .
Our dumpster if almost 5 feet tall, and full most weeks for pick-up in the alley. There is no way in hell I would haul all that somewhere in my car every week. Sorry. 
In our neighborhood our recyclables are picked up at the end of our driveway. Yes, on display for all of the neighbors to see (and judge). I merely take it down, smile at passing by neighbors, and say "Forgot the last couple of weeks, she's getting pretty full", and hope that they buy it!  |

You guys have it all wrong. This is the behaviour of a wine geek. quote: Just saw this. We travel with the wine in a styrofoam shipper which insulates well. When the wine is in the car, it's seatbelted in the back seat with the air conditioning on. As soon as we get to a hotel, we put the wine in the airconditioned room. If we're travelling and leave the car for a half hour or an hour, we lave the windows open a drop and try to park in the shade. Even on a hot day, after an hour, the wine is still cool to the touch in the sealed styrofoam shipper.

No. A wine geek is someone who won't even fathom having a bottle of Baby Duck on the table at a wine lunch cause he is too embarrassed to be seen with the bottle nearby.

I do too! I just find that #1...the wine lists suck at those places, #2....most of them have no idea of "corkage", and #3....their stemware is less than desireable. Which usually makes wine there near impossible for me. So...if I go, I usually do beer or soda.
So much wine.....so little time!!!

When you correct the waiter who is telling you that the Chianti Classico Riserva she just poured is made of 100% sangiovese. It just happened to me over dinner tonight. Couldn't resist telling her about canaiolo, colorino and the likes. And it was such a nice waiter..... feeling guilty

While I can also relate to everything mentioned you can always incorporate one into the other you know. The two are not mutually exclusive. |

What is the best way to carry multiple bottles? did you use a wheel barrel?

I always enjoyed that little scene in The Sopranos where they "liberated" several cases of bordeaux from a couple of other wine thieves.
