My Son Knows About Wine...

Setting - A Wine Retail Environment

Yer Wine Dude: May I help you ma'am?

Old Lady: Please!  I got a bottle of Champagne from here about 4 years ago.  It was about $14.  Do you know what it was?

YWD: I'm afraid I'd have almost no idea.

OL: None?

YWD: We could try, but it almost certainly isn't $14 anymore.

OL: Really?  What would the price be?

YWD: I guess it all depends on the bottle.

OL: Can you show me some bottles?

YWD: Well, we have well over 100 bottles of sparkling wine in the store, so it might take a while.

OL: I might recognize it.

YWD: True, but there is a good chance that the bottle has changed the packaging since then as well.

OL: Really?  Why would they do that?

YWD: (silent, presuming that this is a rhetorical question)

OL: Do you know why they would do that?

YWD:  Oh, no ma'am.  I do not.

OL: Well, can you show me something with a pretty label?

YWD: I could, but I have a feeling that you and I might have different definitions of "pretty."

OL: How many glasses are in a bottle?

... we will skip ahead past the painful process of determining how big her glasses are, how much her guests are going to drink, and whether or not I like the wines in question...

OL: You know, I should just ask my son.
YWD: That sounds like a great idea!

OL:: Can I talk to him and come back tomorrow?

YWD: Please do.

... (YWD is not working tomorrow, as it is his off-day)

OL: He knows a lot about wine.

YWD: Can I tell you a secret?

OL: What is it?

YWD: I know a lot about wine, I sell it for a living...

OL: Oh, I guess you would!

YWD: Please let us know what he says, and we look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

OL: Thank you so much.

YWD: Yes ma'am have a wonderful rest of your afternoon.
