Drink and stay sober

You know what the trouble is with studying wine? You never feel that you know enough. Even with more studying I feel like there is so much I don't know. Maybe it's a good thing because it'll never get boring and who is the ultimate expert anyway? It's like art.

Crystals in the bottle? White wine, after it's chilled/iced is potassium bitartrate. Drink it and don't worry.

Shift drink - at the end of the dinner shift the closing people usually get one. New job, no shift drinks. Changing room - in NYC there is a lack of space at most restaurants. At my last job I changed in the basement with at least 2 other people each day. Mixed company, get used to it. Treat it like the surfers do on the beach, under the wrapped towel, etc.. I think we're on camera too. Makes me miss the luxury of the Vegas hotels, helps-hall and locker rooms. I heard from a Napa friend, they are expecting to pick fruit Sept. 1. My job - it's going well. Training, testing and studying. Working for a training wage, but things should get better this coming week. Can't I just say "this wine rocks" or "I love this wine" in order to sell it... ?

I tasted some good wine in Colorado, and while I was looking at pictures of German vinyards (snow, mountains, rivers) I thought why isn't there a larger production in the river valleys of the Rockies?

My friend Piper turned me onto a fellow blogger and their hints to staying sober while drinking as much vodka as possible.
