I've been in the private sector for a while and not having wine like that dropped on me.
Can you trade it in for four $20 bottles? I can tell terrible wine from good wine, but the different between good wine and really, really good wine is lost on me. In whiskey, I can tell.
This is me, but OTOH I can buy the 4 cheaper bottles myself. I'm highly unlikely to buy the pricier stuff, so yay for someone else doing it. (Though real life, $20 bottles are special occasion themselves. Day-to-day wine is more in the $9-14 range. Assuming it's not in a box.)

My house is a lot more x-massy than it was this morning. I am trying to hold off on ripping things open for a few days but I may not make it. Even Darby has a package!
My package is going to be late, sadly. I have a couple more NOLA goodies that I want to procure that I think are worth the wait. Curse my ambition in trying to not be a slacker.
send two packages. really. who doesn't like getting mail...twice.
My stuff is almost ready, I'm going to send out a card, but the package will be after Xmas.
Mom and Dad have been sending my presents and we're going to skype for Xmas. I opened one box from Mom b/c I needed it to send presents and she sent my stocking! Filled with stuff!
And this reminds me I need to get a stocking and stuff it for Will.
I have been going around scamming the Godiva chocolates from the offshore consulting company off of everyone and handing them out like I'm Santa Claus. I have one more guy to get them from.
So far, only the data centre vendor has given me anything. Chocolate covered cherries, though. Should be good.
I did not get a bonus or gift, but we did get two weeks off for the holiday. I am OK with that!
My cousin in SF sent me Tcho chocolates for Christmas. I'd never heard of them. Dark chocolate, four flavors -- chocolatey, nutty, fruity, and citrus. They came with instructions, wtf? One is supposed to eat savor them in order. Again, wtf?
I like chocolate. I like dark chocolate even more. I do not like any of the Tcho chocolates.
I'm going to take them in to work tomorrow, see if anyone likes any of them.
They did come in a nice box, though. I'll keep that, anyway.
Oh, I know those! I love the fruity one. But I've never really done the tasting in order thing.
I do not like any of the Tcho chocolates.
I think their chocolates are kind of an acquired taste. OTOH, their hot chocolate (which you can get from their factory tasting room in SF) is amazing.
