Wine and Friends

[Plato]

Not sure if its just me but do any of you have those friends that are all about your wine so long as its free. They call you up " hey man come over and bring some wine". I thought why not start selling it because my friends seem to like it. Then you never hear from them again about it. I think I have come to the realization that they only love it when its free. So this isnt all bad the less I sell the more I can age and enjoy.

I bring wine to most any event I am invited to that is not non-alcoholic. I am not interested in selling it. If I bring a gallon of wine, what do I really have in it in cash? Maybe $15 tops?

But when I "trade" that wine for great conversation, a nice evening of relaxation and good company, and usually great food, what a nice and pleasant trade that is! It sure beats drinking alone. My wife and I can eat many times $15 worth of food at the events, if the pure economics of the trade are concerned. But the economics are really secondary – totally...

JS,

You captured the real spirit of it, but this will only work when your friends have that spirit too.

I always remember the father-in-law (rip) telling me how much folks looked forward to his arrival at his condo in florida (semi-retired). The funny thing is that when he arrived, he never had a problem getting help unloading the wine, but never had much luck unloading everything else!
