Yet ironically I'm drinking Cabernet as I type this (which is why I've had to retype it three times so far), had hummus for lunch, and love feta cheese with extra virgin olive oil and oregano. I'm just not pretentious about it.
It helps that the Cabernet is 2-buck Chuck.

who said anything about generic? I'm not talking Cracker Barrel here, or that boxed wine shit.
I'm not pretentious at all, cab, hummus and feta are considered a yuppie meal around here, with all the rednecks, fried chicken, watermelon and all...

See, deltav? ^^^^This would be a real yuppie, were it not for that fact that the "Y" stands for "young." You could learn something from him.

You ain't no yuppie either. That's not a bad thing, BTW. But it's hard to find any merit in having the pretension to being one.

I know. Mine used to be Caymus every night. Or Sliver Oak. Or Jordan. Or Opus One (which is fucking over-rated). Or David Bruce late harvest. *sigh* Or this Dolcetto d'Alba that I had once in Pasadena that I've never been able to find again.
But Trader Joe's has come a long way, honestly.

Drink Germain-Robin. Best stuff ever.
Is there a minimum price point for wine drinker to entry to this club? (Say paid at least $50 a bottle at one point and time)
Is a yard with a sprinkler system an automatic in?
We use the term “golf units”. (Golf is an inherited disease, climbing (posts) is an acquired one). A golf unit was the cost of playing golf, including equipment, practice buckets, clothing, everything. It is a great concept because it can apply to other aspects of life.
“Climbing Units” becomes the cost of buying time to go do the activity as compared to other life expenses. Jewelry, wine, fashionable clothing, kids activities all get neatly compared to the cost of recreational activities.

HA! This made my morning crush of email a bit more tolerable. Curt, you climb too hard and are a bit, uh, experienced to be a yuppie, but stick around, we need the humor.

I dunno, you might an imposter that spends mad $$ on gear but then throws his pack in the trunk of his 99 Camry and drives back to his apartment. Answer me this:
what would you pair seared scallops with?
A) Riesling
B) PBR - PBR goes with anything!

You sound like a shoe in. Presumably you have a job where you all take off and do a Texas scramble a couple times a year, and call it "team building"?
The yard sprinkler is a nice touch, extra points if you pay someone to come blow the water out of the pipes before winter instead of draining it yourself. Assuming you live in a place where this is an issue.

Lol....it's a 91' Camry with the muffler hanging low, a door about to fall off, a pasenger side window that doesn't work and a crack in the radiator, but that's only because I'm holding out for the company car and gas card, which should be available soon.
Seared scallops? I can see the merits of a Riesling there, but I generally think it tastes like feet. Besides, I usually don't bother with foods that don't compliment a good red or belgian ale. Follow it up with a maduro and a glass of Dalmore and we're talking. ...then again, exchagne that for some skunk and some pirate booty and we're having a good time.
