Splitting a fancy bottle of wine with a friend at dinner is one of lifeās great pleasures. 
Discussion
Shots of wine. Nice
Come to northern Shenandoah valley. Wineries aplenty.
Enjoy!
I honestly can't tell good wine from mediocre wine despite being able to drop an arbitrary amount on any wine bottle and having tried them. Above a minimal threshold whether it's $20 or $200, I can't tell the difference.
I assume I'm retarded, I dunno.
Iām right there with you lol I canāt tell the difference, maybe marginally. I think a lot of the pleasure is derived from knowing it is expensive and drinking it slow and with great ceremony. As always though the company and conversation matters more than the wine.
This
100% conversation!
My low brow take is that those involved pay more attention to it because they know the price point for being a part of it.
i think you get less of a headache with better quality, that is what i assume
This is also true
No youāre not, between 20$ and 200$ they all taste the same with very minimal differences that only super tongue people notice.
Then when you get up to the really expensive level they just start tasting like shit again, but no one says anything because itās more about just spending a ton of money and showing off your pocketbook.
It all just tastes like communion to me. š
Wine tasting is a skill that can be developed by almost anyone.
It comes eaiser to some, but is attainable.
There are fantastic cheap wines and horrible expensive wines, but price does mean something. It's not just status.
Vineyards that try to pass off crap for crazy prices get found out.
Stage one is trying to identify WHAT you like about the wines you do like.
So my wine trading uncle, always used to say there's no good wine only a wine you like. I have a pretty good nose for wine, but I love a "cotes du rhone" and the cheap stuff is better than wine several tiers higher.
Most of the first $10 goes on bottling, distribution, retail margin etc. so when you pay $20 you're spending twice as much on the wine itself as when you pay $15. After that the returns diminish rapidly IMHO.
I WAS TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER SOMETHING FUNNY TO SAYā¦. BUT ITāS JUST SUCH A FLEX THAT I CAN ONLY SAY-FUCK YES!!!
Bezos was my friend first.
Not a wine fan, except sweet wines and some whites. And I'm Italian too! š¤£š¹
Fine wine = Great time
One day Hodl will put his pinky out and sip a bottle of Peony Lane š·
Satoshi Coffee in the morning and Peony Lane at night. Pinkys out all day

That sounds lovely. I hope it was really fun and you had great conversation.
