Brillat-Savarin noted French gourmand said, "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are."
Ahem. I bought one of those Wine Enthusiast corkboard thing’s where you glue in your corks and then use it as a trivet or a corkboard--it now holds 108 of the past 175 bottles or so I’ve drunk.
Freakishly, I’ve probably saved corks to 90% of the bottles that I’ve participated in drinking. You can even notice in the upper left hand corner of the photo the initials "NSPI" from a customer dinner I had at Ruth’s Chris in Vegas a couple of years ago. That dinner is, in and of itself a whole ‘nother story. I mean, honestly, if you’re in a city like Vegas staying at the The Venetian, why would you drive off strip to go to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse? I wasn’t in charge, otherwise we would have been eating at the Thomas Keller restaurant Bouchon.
Despite my good taste in food, what does the wine corkboard say about me and wine?
It says I drink a lot of inexpensive wine.
