No. Andy would have said... "Step out of the car and load those 5 cases and three bottles of fabulous wine into my trunk - and my Partner and I will have a Cuban each. Do you have a cutter and a lighter on you? Thanks.

But before ever putting a glass to his lips, he'd realize, "damn, I am not carrying a cork screw ... does anybody have a darn screwdriver?!?!!?!"Purely hypothetical: If this had been Andy, would have pulled his tasting glass out of the car and tasted those wines before dumping?
All the talk of having a corkscrew in the car just reminded me of him keeping a Port tasting glass there.
Yes, while I don't always have a cork screw I always have a Port glassEric Menchen wrote:Purely hypothetical: If this had been Andy, would have pulled his tasting glass out of the car and tasted those wines before dumping?

I was thinking SNL skit as well, or several good jokes on Weekend Update; but I don't think James is well enough known to make the cut. If it had been Tiger Woods, that would be different.Michael Hann wrote:Maybe James could turn this to his advantage, however. He could wrangle an invitation to host Saturday Night Live and he could enact this border crossing scene in a parody mocking the sadistic border guards -- dressed in pseudo-Nazi uniforms? the usual over-the-top SNL exaggeration and twising of reality? -- which could be sort of satisfying and elevate James's national profile beyond the limited circle of wine geeks?
True. I thought about that too. Maybe, instead, this could be enacted by employees at the Wine Spectator Christmas party? Maybe one of the employees could wear a James Suckling pull-over rubber face mask and enact James's part. Or, alternatively, if James is into it, he could play himself?Eric Menchen wrote:I was thinking SNL skit as well, or several good jokes on Weekend Update; but I don't think James is well enough known to make the cut.
