More Tales from the Wine Store

I hear a lot of things people say.  I wish I didn't.

• I heard a mother address her two children: "C'mon Spawn and Spawn 2."
• I heard a Staten Island woman call Zinfandel Zinfandale repeatedly.
• A woman asked me for a blue bottle of Riesling called Sleeper.  "Do you mean, Relax?"  That was it.
• Someone asked me for "Sprinkling water wine."  What the hell is that?
• A customer asked me if I carried the "Skuff-along" grape.  She made that up, right?
• A husband loudly embarrassed his wife on purpose "You're going to buy all that?  You just got out of rehab!"  He was joking, but if I was her, I would have slapped him.
• A woman on the phone asked me if I had something in stock.  She read about it in that "Spectacular magazine."  For you non-wine people, the magazine is called Wine Spectator.
• I asked a woman if she needed assistance and she replied, "Someone decided to make a re-appearance and I'm texting them to shove it."  She's got issues.
• And there is always that one person who asks for Chocolate wine, but they don't really want Chocolate wine, they want wine that has notes of chocolate, but they really think that there is chocolate added to it.  He wanted to know where that section was.
