First off, don't get me wrong..I do enjoy drinking wine. I however couldn't begin to tell you the difference in a $5 bottle of cabernet and a $100 cabernet.
My fiance enjoys going to wineries, hell we'll probably end up getting married at a winery. But I just wanted to rant about why I dislike wineries so...here it goes.
1) Dressing up - Why in holy hell do I have to dress up and 'act' different (sophisticated and holding a thicker wallet than I really have) in order to go somewhere to consume a particular beverage? That's one of the things I like about breweries. Come as you are, drink, and enjoy yourself.
2) Smutty staff - When they bring you your bottle of wine at the table (if you're sitting down and ordering) they show you the bottle and then pour a small amount in. What is the point in this? Leave the damn bottle on the table. I'm a big boy, I can pour it myself. "is the wine to your liking sir?" "no Watson, it tickles my nostrils funny, send it back".
3) Clientele - Ever walk around and look at people in wineries? Many appear to have their noses stuck straight up in the air. There's just an all around 'pretentious' vibe going on.
