Sure, I’ve worn pins before. Who around here hasn’t? And sometimes people say things like “nice pin” or “what’s that?” and that has now changed. When I first wore my #shittywinememepin I felt this feeling of relief. Like when I could finally ride a bike or properly shell a pistachio (I had no idea I was doing that wrong- who knew?). Was it big enough to cover that drool of 77 Port I got on my lapel that the dry cleaner said was “hopeless”? It was! People now approach me and don’t ask which movies I’ve seen. They tell me they also like botrytis. Is anything better? I’ll wait. One also deflected a bullet one time but that may have been as much Harnessed Godzilla Power as much as anything. Nice pins.

I felt ashamed about loving botrytis and not late harvest wines, but I kept it as a secret for many years. Finally after seeing the “I love Botrytis” pin, I saw that I was not alone and it was ok to share my love of noble rot wines. Thank you shitty wine memes, I would not feel that confident as if it wasn't for you!

The first time a Robert Parker-loving, Caymus-by-the-case boomer squints and leans in to read “Shitty Wine Memes” on this pin, you’ll get way more than your $10 worth.
