Even friends of mine who drink wine regularly tend to feel inferior when they hear i've taken wine classes and work for a wine company. It's silly to me, but it definitely exists. It also tends to happen with new customers in the showroom. More than a couple of times I have heard an embarrassed comment here or there, pertaining to how little they know about italian wines. I think it's great that we work to make wine approachable to everyone, yet still maintain a high respect for the products we present.

I'm not even embarrassed, the wine was delicious!
