This is a bit embarrassing, but I was in detox recently. So while a wine enthusiast who really can’t be one anymore (unfortunately—or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) but the party’s over in my case. The reason for this post is I was wondering if anyone had experience with actually good (and I know this is a relative term) non-alcoholic wine choices. But I’m looking for something enjoyable that won’t land me back in rehab.

Gave my 2-week notice and Partner has asked me stay an extra 3 days to wrap up a project that I know will be a very long 3 days... I don’t really want to do it but also am afraid of burning bridge. I said yes to the Partner but now kind of regret it. This job has made me sacrifice my health and I don’t want to work those extra 3 days. I wonder what’s the best way to tell them.

Anyone at the Relient K show at House of Blues tonight?

Are the rumors about a longer and earlier flu season and a hard Covid winter true? I'm not personally noticing an increase in patients who need prescriptions for flu-like symptoms but it seems to be what everyone's talking about in and outside of the pharmacy. Can anyone weigh in?

So I feel like I want to keep eating something all day. Even though I'm full and not really hungry. It's the thing of chewing I guess. What to do to combat this?

28F here. Any single folks a member of any country clubs or ClubCorp clubs in the Atlanta area?

I’m moving from Boston and am going to transfer my membership to The Buckhead Club but am not sure if that’s just for old people or not...

Does anyone get so anxious about work that they can’t eat? The thought of food just makes you want to puke? How to manage? Skipping meals/not eating for a day is unhealthy and will cause weight gain

What are some easy to make, low stress holiday meals for a school holiday staff party? I was "volunteered" by our principal to set it up this year (🙄). I'm making decorated sugar cookies but kind of drawing a blank when it comes to savory dishes. Bonus points if you have any adult holiday themed games or fun drinks to suggest! It's off school property and there will be a bar (thank god), for context.

I am leaving retail pharmacy after 15 years. I am opening a 403b pharmacy for a FQHC. I don't believe that retail pharmacy will be able to sustain itself with patient costs skyrocketing. I think people will become enraged or indifferent enough to allow the federal government to take over healthcare. How many times do we see people getting free prescriptions via government coverage that drive better cars than we do?

Is everyone from a big city or do we have some south and midwest represented??

So many people live in NYC but still it feels like the loneliness place on the planet. Does anybody have positive stories from dating apps? How do you guys meet ppl in general?

Had another dream about my ex. I asked him questions on why he changed. He answered just let go. I think now my brain is finally starting to fully acknowledge there is only one path forward.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what kind of questions to expect in the 2nd round of interview with BCG Gamma for Predictive Analytics?

In the 1st round of interview, I was asked ML questions and basic Modelling approach on 2 cases.

My teacher would always say that there are no stupid questions, but I think he just never had to work retail cause that’s very clearly not true

Anyone play around in the ChatGPT AI yet?

Who here has actually made a genuine connection from being in this group? Let’s hear your stories 🍵

I’m flying my mom to NY for the 2nd time from Taiwan for the birth of her first grandkid! I would love to upgrade her to business since she’s flying alone, doesn’t speak English, & hates flying. The only direct is EVA air. After researching, we think a good option is to use Chase points. My sister and I are combining our points but still short by a lot. Doesn’t look like we can buy Chase points, so wondering if anyone has any tips/hacks on how to get/buy more points?

Any reviews about working at the Telegraph Media Group? What’s the culture like?

Hi All, currently Visa is approved, stamping is yet to be done... But the package is 60k only and I heard from colleagues who are already there, that this is not sufficient... I am working at a package of 12 LPA in India, and I think switching is the best option rather than going to US. Need your opinion please

Those of you that have successfully pivoted: What did you do, what are you doing now, and how are you enjoying your new role?

Any insights you can share based on your experience?

Hi Everyone, Started my career in government 5 years ago working in an operational role, then focussed on HR for 3 years working my way up to a middle manager role in HR as a business partner and completed my Level 7 CIPD. I don’t think HR or government is for me anymore and looking to find something new, now 24 feel I have a lot of transferable skills and knowledge but worried about private companies in other professions taking me seriously. Grateful for any advice - thanks in advance!

What benefit you love most at your firm?

I'm looking to improve my communication skills to navigate a very political environment better (i.e. I need to be more diplomatic). Any books recommendarions are appreciated 💁🏼‍♀️

Why do private equity firms use M&A consultants?

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

This is absurd. Am I missing some “new way” of doing things? Your take?

Hello all, I’m planning for a career switch. As I’m currently in Finance sector and planning to quit my job and to start my career in IT Hardware companies like: HP, Dell and Lenovo etc.. Before taking this jump I want to know how is the career growth in IT Hardware, how is the promotion structure in such companies. I personally don’t like my present job as it doesn’t relate any part of my interest.

Looking for a recommendation for a good Pinot noir! Giving as a gift and looking in the $80-$100 range. Thank you!

Out of pure curiosity, does anyone in here currently work in the wine industry? I’m interested to get a sense of experience levels here. (Not that it matters at all! We all learn at our own pace.)

I work in wine media now, but pre-pandemic was a Sommelier in restaurants in NYC.

Have any of my fellow corporate wine professionals made their way onto Fishbowl yet? 🍷

Any reccs for lesser known Italian reds that you love?

What wine is everyone pairing with their Turkey dinner this Thanksgiving?

For those who care about organic or biodynamic - what are your best recommendations? Girlfriend is very into this stuff and looking for some purchases for her

NYC wine club meetup?

Any recommendations on getting into wine? I love other specialty beverages (3rd wave coffee, craft beer), but struggle to “figure out” wine.

The ability to get involved with local beer and coffee producers has been a huge factor for me, so I’m guessing the comparative lack of local wine producers has contributed to me struggling to understand more of the process, culture, tasting notes, etc.

What's your favorite red wine?

Any natural wine aficionados? What are some of your favourite wineries?

What are your go to wines for sub $15? Looking for something new to drink this weekend!

Love Spanish/Balearic wine, my go to is currently Sa Vall Selecció Privada from a Vineyard in Mallorca.

What other Spanish wines do you recommend?

Need some recommendations on Red Wines from Wine & Spirits under $30. I tend to favor bitter over sweet flavors more. Please give me some to try these next few weekends!

I need advice from the collective. It seems like there is a trend to sell wine in unique bottles. The only problem with this, those bottles will not fit into my wine fridge. Has anyone transferred wine to standard bottles and are you concerned about the wine one it hits the air? I’ve looked at vacuum stoppers but not sure if this is a good idea or not.

Random q: any good easily accessible/free documentaries on wine or the history of wine? Also open to other great historical documentaries!
