Last year, in the restaurant where I cook, our wine bitch kept going on and on about Beaujolais Nouveau. When it finally came in, most of the kitchen staff looked at each other like, "What is this shit?" Our boxed cooking wine that sits on the shelves for weeks and wks is better. But the watiers and the sommelier kept oohing and ahhing about, "Isn't this fantastic, Nouveau in Novemmer, all we need is some rilletttes!" and shit like that. I am convinced they were all saying it because they were all saying it. You know? No one wanted to say what we were all thinking in the kitchen. God, this wine sucks. You are the first wine person I've seen who cinfirms my suspicions. Because you call em out and remind us it's all subjective bullshit. I thought I was crazy because I didn't understand wine. You've taught me to just dirnk the wine and say what I think and not give a crap. Now I feel confident. I've got a good palate. I don't know why I was so scared. And boy do I love contradicting our snobby wine girl. And for that, I thank you. See, this is why we need you.

Gawd, I can't tell you what a wonderful feeling it is! Oh, we'll still be loaded up with palates of bo-shit-lais, but this year, we get to suggest to our guests that if they're looking for DeBooooof, there's a 7-11 right down the street. Ah, the little triumphs... For the first year EVER, my boss and I have decided to JUST SAY NO to Georges De Booof! Gawd, I can’t tell you what a wonderful feeling it is!
