Your First Wine Experience: Well... I remember I was about 15 years old when I found myself in a forest. I was alone but I heard foot steps from somewhere around me. Then, a gnome came out of the bushes and surprised me with a plate of cheese and crackers. I was hungry, and the gnome looked harmless so I ate the cheese and crackers. The crackers were really dry though and I felt I really needed a drink and as I thought that another gnome came out of a different bush holding a bottle of wine and a glass. He poured me a glass and again thinking, "why not", guzzled the vino down. It was delicious, but immediately felt drowsy and fell asleep instantly. I woke up surrounded by many gnomes and they had me hog tied over a fire pit and then I woke up for real. You see, that was just a dream and my real first experience was probably at dinner one night trying some of my parent's wine. The moral of this story is to not trust gnomes, they are sneaky, but they do have excellent wine....

What makes you a crazy wino? That story
