Question: What’s your most embarrassing wine moment?

My guy and me attended an upscale wine tasting where the hostess arranged Riedel Vinum glasses in the shape of bowling pins.  You’re seeing where I’m going with this, right?  As I went to grab the front pin, uh glass, someone bumped into me which caused several glasses to tumble. There were THREE casualties and I was definitely more heart-broken about the glasses than the hostess was.  With a face the color of young Beaujolais, I apologized and helped clean up.  Complete embarrassment!

Moral of the story #1: Don’t arrange your premium glasses in the shape of bowling pins.

Moral of the story #2: Make special friends with the kind folks at www.wineglasses.com in case you want to apologize with new gear???
