Please keep this personal and stories about yourself. That way if others want to share their own faux pas, miscues or other blunders ... they can feel free to do so, or not. But come on, lighten up and share with us so we can all get a good laugh.
My most embarrassing moment, came during a weekend with great friends in late June of 2007. It was my 50th birthday weekend and an insane amount of wine was being opened and yes, then there was also a lot of Port opened nearly 40 bottles over a four day period. But that is no excuse for what took place.
In front of a houseful of guests, I take a bottle of this white Port out of the refrigerator and while everyone is sitting around in the room adjacent to our kitchen, I pour a glass. It struck me that this "juice" seemed really thick and because I was mid-sentence, didn't really have all synapses screaming "NO!!!!!!!" at me. I put it up to my nose and thought, jeez that doesn't smell right ... but kept on going. Well, I took a small sip and all of a sudden EVERYONE starts shrieking and howling with laughter. For in this bottle, that absolutely looked the color and label of a fine white Port ... was a SINGLE QUINTA's Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I wanted to die right then and there, but I am still here.
