I'm a bit reluctant to post this because of the negative light it may paintfor me so let me preface with this: I consider myself a generous person and happily give away well over half my wine to family and friends.
Now here's the problem... lately I've been getting requests from family and friends for bottles to give to their friends.On the one hand I'm flattered that they want to share with others, butI have a tendency to give away what I think are my best wines since they represent me andI do have a lot of time and money invested. My supply is dwindling fast. Is anyone else faced with this issue? I haven't said no, but I found myself feeling a bit resentful during yet another request yesterday.
Any thoughts?
Do I just deal with it and start making even more wine?
Maybe have a couple batches just for handing out?
Edit: let me also say that I really enjoy giving out my wine to family and friends and is part of the reason I'm in the hobby, but I also like to have some for myself. Edited by: sangwitch
