I went to a wedding celebration for friends that eloped recently. It was put on by a wealthy friend of theirs, who happened to be a bit of a wine fanatic. He had hundreds of bottles worth hundreds of dollars each, and basically said "enjoy whatever you want" to the guests. Most of us were drinking what was already opened, or even the beer in the cooler.. but one guy... one guy, had to talk about every bottle. Go through a glorious ceremony for each. Find the perfect glasses, and people to talk to about it. It got pretty annoying, to the point the wine loving host himself was like, great to meet you, but why don't you and I get together some other time, let's focus on (couple's name) instead. There you have two kinds of wine fans, one I like, one I couldn't stand being around. My mother is a third kind, the one obsessed with finding the highest quality to cost ratio she can. I'm not sure how I feel about her :)
