Ahhh I see, I only drink dry reds with no sugar. i used to use stemmed until I started watching sopranos and liked the stemless more. I’m pretend I’m Italian:) 

  Wait, someone said sandwich!

I think it is French, but i could be wrong. Go stemless. It’s the bomb dot com. 

Glasses with stems are no longer in fashion?

Not really. Plus the stemless ones are more practical,  cos you can fit half a bottle in there  and then say you just had one glass. 

Goodness.  Well at my age much less must be the rule.  One glass when I get home from work, one after I have cleaned up the kitchen and sit down to read or listen to music.

Thé one glass is bigger stemless... just saying lol. 

LOLLLLLLLLLLL

Oh my. Jaimie you are headed down the Sharon HIGHWAY TO HELL.  I see the signs.  

Lol :) maybe...

I like the giant vasses idea :)

You'd like my dad then....lol

Most definitely lol :)

He's rather nutty like me.....my mum says I bring out the best in him albeit I know it's the worst....lol

Haha, your family dinners must be a blast :) 

Absolute mayhem when all my parents grand kids are there....every one of them are all little rouges getting up to alsorts of things...:)

Sounds fun :)

No...all the kids are like little thunderbolts tearing about everywhere....lol

You can fit more wine in the stemless :) I’m not sure what’s a enologist?

An oenologist (also enologist) is an expert in the fields comprehended by the "Viticulture and Oenology" designation for oenology-training programmes and research centres that include schooling, training, and education in the outdoor and indoors aspects of wine and the making of wine.

(Holding a wine glass by its base (foot) below the stem is a sign that you have extensive wine knowledge in some circles)

effete snobbery comes to mind.  

I am reminded of that Columbo episode about the wine.  Does it taste good?  Fine.  That is Fine wine to me.  This was my favorite when I could drink.  No hangover. That is how and what I based my opinion of wines.    I think it is WODERFUL to study the history, agriculture and recipe for the best wines and why they are the best.  But?  It attracts a community of wealthy snobs; kind of like golf.  Not all golfers are snobs.  Many are amazing and fun and do it for the right reasons.  It's the posers that ruin everything.  And wine drinking can really bring out the boors.  

After your commentary with Don Barzini, I am wondering if you both think you are just so BORED with everything on here that you wonder why you bother.  It makes me leery of you both.  That attitude is very off-putting to me.

It is not unusual that when I make a comment that indicates (whether I am kidding or not) some specialized knowledge that I may or may not possess, I get a response that basically is intended to say, "Hey, I'm just as smart as you."

So why did you decide to post this particular comment at this time?

You posted this sub-comment:  "I am reminded of that Columbo episode about the wine. Does it taste good? Fine. That is Fine wine to me. This was my favorite when I could drink. No hangover. That is how and what I based my opinion of wines. I think it is WODERFUL (sic) to study the history, agriculture and recipe for the best wines and why they are the best. But? It attracts a community of wealthy snobs; kind of like golf. Not all golfers are snobs. Many are amazing and fun and do it for the right reasons. It's the posers that ruin everything. And wine drinking can really bring out the boors."

The character of Columbo was funny, smart, and clever.  But your definition of "Fine wine" lacks probitive value, simply because I have no idea of your degree of exposure to the various grapes used in wine making, the climatic and other idiosyncrasies of the various wine growing regions and the "palate memory" you may or may not have developed from your wine drinking experiences.  And while headaches are thought to be associated with the congeners present in the wine, I am not aware of any wines that are ranked on the basis of fewest headaches caused.

And again, you said, "After your commentary with Don Barzini, I am wondering if you both think you are just so BORED with everything on here that you wonder why you bother. It makes me leery of you both. That attitude is very off-putting to me." 

My commentary with Don Barzini had nothing to do with boredom---it was a reference to the unfortunate habit that many people who post on Q & A websites seem loath to ask whether their questions contain what they think are "facts" but are actually errors.

So you made the wrong assumption when you thought you knew what I was referring to.

And so your reaction to both Don Barzini and I may need to be rethought---And of course, you have no obligation to do so; but regardless, rest assured that neither Don Barzini nor I will feel diminished in any way.

No. I was not making any assumptions.  I was hoping you would answer and clarify.  I am so glad you did.  This was wonderful, I am glad you answered and I loved that Columbo episode.  

What I did not love was your take on my question and I do stand behind my feeling that it was snarky.  What are we doing here DON?  LOL.  It was hilarious, don't get me wrong.  I am laughing. But it was kind of two smart guys being disgusted by a moron.  LOL 

I was being FUNNY because there are people on here that will answer this and give the most amazing commentary.  It is fodder for my commentary.   SO.  I am hoping you remember that this may be why you both are on here.  It provides a good back and forth.  And I LOVE your knowledge.  You are amazing.  Thank you for answering me.
