Totally. And every year it changes still. I admit, it's geeky. But how do I love opening a bottle on my days off. About half a glass to a full glass. So perfect.

Where can I get some of Maynard Keenan's wine he decided to produce in Arizona?

I never got the notion of wine tastings being full of snobbery but the only ones I've been to were in Arizona were everything there was just chill in vibe. I guess the snobbery comes in the images attempted

I have some of his sangiovesse. Caduceus. Don't know where to get it as a friend brought it back from AZ for me. Try online perhaps?

Had some wine from his former winery Arizona Stronghold. Surprisingly good IMO.

drinking a 2010 chateau bell-vue haut-medoc. Sounds fancy, huh? It's really just red wine from france that's a blend of a bunch of different grapes. I like it. Not super fruity.

The use of wine in ancient times is pretty fascinating.
1. Wine was used as a disinfectant to clean wounds.
2. Wine was used as a pain reliever.
3. Wine was used to purify water.
You can read more about the uses here if anyone is interested.

It's just that wine culture has some ****** bags that need to be weeded out that I can't stand and that's what I think that video does.

So, I take it you've never been to the Chicago River Winerys annual wine tasting? As expected, it's like 90% hipsters scoffing at people. The cool thing is though, like others have mentioned, you can taste the history behind each bottle. How much rain occurred that year, the amount of e. coli bacteria present in the river that year, etc. It's really fascinating.

I actually spent 27 dollars on a bottle of fucking beer for my son-in-laws birthday. Now that is a fucking racket.

My wife and I occasionally partake in a nice $8 1.5L bottle of Lambrusco from Sams. Ha
I'm more of a beer guy. I wouldn't be surprised if wine grew on me eventually, though.

Honestly, Snobbery is snobbery and hipsters are hipsters--both suck harder than Paris Hilton trying to get out of a DUI.
If you like it, drink it, even if it's Natty Ice or Boones Farm.

You're right. Some people drink expensive scotch or wine. Some smoke expensive cigars or drive expensive cars. Do what makes you happy and don't shoot up anybody.
