There are not many people who can make me speechless, baffled even, but this guy wins the award.
Customer: "I want a wine with no smell."
Me: "What?"
Customer: "I don't like my wines to have a smell."
This guy is kidding, right.
Me: "Sir, wine like food is meant to have an aroma. We taste through our sense of smell."
Customer: "I don't want my wine to smell."
Me: Clearly baffled, repeating myself until finally I said "I can't help you, sir."
Clearly, he doesn't want wine. He should hold his nose if he doesn't want any aroma from his wine. A wine's aromas is called bouquet for a reason! Because it smells!
My colleague told me I should have given him a Pinotage. If you don't know that smell, it's one of the most pungent, tobacco laden, tar filled aroma bombs there is. That would teach him.
Show me some love at localwineevents.com.
