No b.s. wine tasting, my new favorite thing.
So y’know when you meet someone, and they’re not like you expect them to be, and instead they’re AWESOME? Well, I met that guy this weekend. I was invited to two private wine tastings, where this guy comes into your home and pours various Argentinian wines and gives you the spiel and you’re supposed to sign up for the wine club. I’d gotten invited by Mary, a friend of Leslie from San Francisco Massage Supply Co., and also told my pal Alyse about the whole shebang, so SHE organized one at HER house for the day before Mary’s… so you see, I went to both.
Turns out this Daniel guy from Anuva Vinos isn’t what you’d consider your average snooty, sales-y wine guy. He talks about wine informatively, but just the basics (this is not an advanced tasting, to be sure), and insists that wine is good… if you like it. It’s subjective, people. Wine is a matter of taste, and doesn’t have to be anything more than that. If you like it, great! Sign up for the wine club! If you don’t, fine! Don’t sign up for the wine club!
He’s what I would consider “my people,” and I told him so. Seems the feeling is mutual.
Best wishes for the growth of the business, Dan, and… ¡Viva el vino argentino!
