Yeah, being a brewer (not an owner, I agree on risk) would be fun if a lot of hard-work, but I couldn’t afford to live where I live now (by a bunch of the breweries) if my salary was maxed out at 65K as it seems most brewers’ are.
+1 on not spitting. If you have a DD, enjoy your wine; the wineries and tasting room employees agree. It’s casual wine tasting, you’re not judging a friggin’ competetion. The only people I saw spit in 7 days in Napa were people who genuinely did not like the wine they were tasting. Also, relax with your attire. Napa casual is real casual. At Bouchon (a Michelin-starred Thomas Keller restaurant) I was definitely overdressed with a casual blazer. Unless you got a reservation at The French Laundry, a polo or casual button-down shirt is all you need to ensure you are well-dressed for tastings or dinners. Finally, if you have a DD in your group, great, but you can get around the valley affordably with a couple shuttle bus tours and a few Ubers. Always cheaper than a DUI.
You’ll get into wine and love it. Mostly a beer and gin guy but we keep a couple dozen bottles on hand now. For opening wine, you really have to get a “waiter’s friend” style opener. They’re cheap and insanely easy to use after a couple tries. I made friends out of the bartenders at a wedding last spring (they were volunteers from the bride’s family) by helping them out in a pinch. They kept a full drink in my hand all night.
Admittedly not a golfer, but am I the only one to take “My Career as a Club Pro” to mean you excel at golf at the golf club where you have a membership and not that you are a pro shop employee at the local golf club?
The Germans still follow their Reinheitsgebot law; basically beer can only contain barley, yeast, and water (with some exemptions for wheat). It restricts innovation and I don’t believe is ideal, but if you’re burnt out on mango-peach-chile-frappuccino beers, try to find something you like that is closer to the basics.
Cam Newton: Your coworker who got reprimanded for stealing office supplies a few years ago, but somehow didn’t get fired. He seems to have his shit together now and is moving up in the company. You still lock your desk drawer if you leave before he does.
There’s nothing wrong with residual sugar, but most of the Moscato you drank in college was shitty wine to start with and they finished it by adding more sugar prior to bottling. There’s nothing wrong with residual sugar in Riesling or Moscato if that’s the intended style and it’s made well (e.g. excess sugar comes from overly ripe grapes and not from a bag of cane sugar).
Look at the total, move the decimal place left one digit, tip twice that amount. That is all it takes to be a decent human being. If you can’t afford to tip, you can’t afford to eat or drink out.

I think they’re going in a different direction.
Moving kegs? Do you drive a beer distributor truck?
“one single Ambien that my mom had given me for emergencies sat”
Props to Mrs. DeFries for distributing a controlled substance.

S-p-i?

We haven’t had a single other person into our condo since we moved in 4 months ago. It’s been amazing.

Why don’t non-millenials get that whining about millenials is in itself whining?
If you’re unemployed (like the Girl is) and not drinking at lunch I have no idea what the fuck you’re doing with your life.
I’m a “Full Stack Developer” and I still think work fucking blows. PGP.

You’re fucking high.
Vouvray or just about any white wine from the Loire Valley will treat you nice for a refreshing summer drink.
The corollary to that is, tip well, get even better service the next time. Tip like a tightass, expect to get slow service next time you return.
