A wine merchant's job is so difficult

One of my wine distributors was here one morning (10:45am) with several new French wines and a California blend for me to try. He forced me (really, he did!) to taste these wines (it was so tough!) so that I could decide which, if any, I would bring in. Out of nine, there were four that really grabbed me.

I hope all my customers appreciate the lengths I go to for them. It's not everyone who would be willing to subject themselves to this madness. </sarcasm>
