Wow. My first wine snob. On FR of all places.

The first wine I ever drank was at age four, home made, dago red, made by the old folks that came over on the boat.

The old man had many 55 gallon barrels stored in the cold room, and it was a regular staple at every meal, including breakfast.

He would use wine in his black coffee in lieu of cream or sugar.

As I grew older, my taste memories led me to drink Chianti and it comes from Tuscany.

I'm not a wine snob, as I drink very little wine, but when I do... {less than $35/bottle}

In my humble opinion, conflating wine discrimination with being a wine snob is like confusing legal immigration with illegal immigration.
