Wine and other pressing matters…
Dear Customer,
Do not send the cheapest, least knowledgeable person you know to shop for wine for your dinner or party. If you do, I will assume you don’t give a shit what you’re drinking and send your friend off with shitty pinot grigio and cheap pinot noir.
If you want good wine, come shopping yourself.

Dear Distributor,
If you haven’t called on me in eight months, you are very bad at your job. Do not be surprised when I don’t invite you to participate in an event I organized a month ago with reps who actually call on me regularly. You clearly aren’t worth my time. I don’t want to taste your wines, I don’t want to sell them, I don’t want to make you money. Get out of my store.
