Am I still allowed in the wine club if I discovered a moscato that is $4.99 and the best wine I’ve ever tasted?

Yes. Absolutely.

Ignore people who shame you over your choice in wine. Guaranteed they don’t have nearly as sophisticated of a palate as they think. Snobbery in wine is absolutely pointless.

Everybody’s tastes are different. There are fantastic wines at every price point. Price is not an indication that something is good.

As long as you enjoyed it, it was a good wine. As long as you are interested in exploring and trying new things, you are welcome.

You do you — finding an inexpensive wine you enjoy is nothing to be ashamed of, I view that as a triumph!

Not sure where I heard this but I like repeating it - every wine has a purpose as long as it’s enjoyable - from Franzia to fancy.

This reminds me of living of my pre-consulting life.

Yesterday I bought a $13.99 bottle of blackberry wine from the local orchard. I'm pretty sure it's mostly sugar but it is super tasty and my new guilty pleasure lol

This is awesome. Tell us what it was!

If a moscato is the best you’ve ever tasted then no.

…..

How many different types of wines have you explored though?

The wine you enjoy is the best wine! You do you.

Every wine has its time and place. Sometimes I want a quick cheap drink that tastes like a fruit. Moscato usually gets me there :)

A win(e) is a win(e)!

I am also a Moscato fan!

What wine is it? My wife and I dig sweet wines. I’ll share our fav 2 that are cheap and you can find at Publix/Winn Dixie etc: Castello de Poggio & Stella Rose

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing.
