Do you remember this?
My local wine bar has a club that you pay $40 a month to be a member. With the membership, you get a free tasting once a week (tastes of 4 wines usually goes for $5, enough in the tastes to be equivalent to a glass). And 2 bottles from the tasting the first week of the month priced $20 or less. If you go in every week, it saves you $40 a month. Except you end up spending more than that on the snacks you buy to go with the additional wine you drink while you’re there.
The glasses are Riedel and you can call yourself whatever you want. I saw one for She Who Must Be Obeyed. Helps the staff to learn the regulars and is a little something to make members feel special.
We went in a month ago and they had a bunch of them out on tables for sale for $10. Nice general purpose wine glasses with random names on them. People who had not been in the building for 2 years or longer. On sale to clear out the space.
Mine says “Al”.
