The server sounded like the one at Poplar Grove that I barely refrained from snapping at (as in "Will you shut the hell up and stop telling me what I am supposed to taste in this wine so I can work it out for myself when I taste the bloody thing? What makes you think I care what you think I should taste?"
Then there are the ones that insist on a report from you - "What did you think of that??" I am usually polite (no, really) and say it wasn't to my taste, but when they insist I respond with honesty and tell them it is oxidized crapola if it is.
Some of them have a spiel that they just can't seem to turn off. BTW, your impression of BO wines matches mine. Had a real nice 2003 Syrah last week made by the old guard.
Don't forget to post notes on Blue Mountain!
