I think "being drunk early in the day" wins out over a detailed explanation of the wine in terms of pretentiousness.



to be truly pretentious, one would state that they were, "drunk early in the day on a magnificent 1985 Leoville-Barton, just entering its maturity, with its classic bouquet redolent of cedar-box and pencil shavings."

now that's pretentious

How is reading Taschen's Caravaggio pretentious or elitist? Except for the price. I guess Tashmere - 19/06/2010 01:14:34 AM 752 Views
