Too many wine snobs around nowadays.

At least you tried....

Haha yes. I just remember him unwrapping it and looking at it like, "why aren't i looking at an actual bottle of wine?"

We both get each other a nice single malt these days and everyone is happier.

White wine always makes me feel steaming after 1 glass. A good bottle of red is the perfect amount to drink I think. If I could just learn to stop after

I've not experienced one mate. I don't always decant but enjoy the ritual when I do.

Do you have recommendations for what I should wear for such a ritual? Are there any traditional ceremonial garments?

I have to wear lederhosen and a feather boa due to a family tradition. I have heard of some that have ancient leather chaps passed down many generations but strictly no underwear.

I love Red wine. White wine gets me rotten too. More than once if I'm heading out to meet mates who have been out for a bit before me I'll have glass of white before I leave the house. Sets me right.

I definitely prefer red wine to white

I definitely prefer white, actually prosecco.
For some reason red gets to my head, it even gives me blackouts so weird.

Has anyone mentioned the excellent documentary "Sour Grapes" about this wine counterfitter? Good stuff!

But to be clear, much of the above could equally apply to Scotch or even beer. I used to drink a lot of wine, but now mostly just do it with the gal at local vinyards; this makes it more of an event and much less about the (local Virginia) wine, which is about as good or slightly better than a 15$ bottle you get a grocery store.

On some very hot summer days, you can't beat a chilled white or even rose for some occasions.

Caymus, Napa valley.

Top notch.

Try Bonanza or Conundrum. They're too more entry level bottles of wine by Caymus. Both pretty good for the 25 price point.

Also, if you like red zin's at all try prisoner. They've got a more affordable line out with a red blend and cab called unshackled. If you like red zin's the prisoner blend is great as well as saldo by them.
