A buddy of mine swears by the Sports Book at Caesars Palace. Not sure how anti ESPN you are but the ESPN Zone at The New York New York is nice.

2.) Is it normal for me to feel like a pussy when I'm sipping wine while having a steak? I mean, the steak is medium rare, and because of the possible negative connotations of a young man drinking wine, I let the blood from the steak run down my jaw for effect, but I still feel incomplete inside.

You are worried about wine-drinking making you a pussy when you have a a purple cartoon dragon in your signature on a sports forum? :biggrin:

Now I'm a man's man, and enjoy a good beer like anyone else. But I think as I'm getting older (I'll be 29 in April) I think my tastes are changing, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I feel some reluctancy to give in to this new found enjoyment of a good wine, and deep inside, there's a man wanting for a beer.

Then act like a man's man. Good for you for broadening your interests and tastes. There's nothing wrong with showing a little class and sophistication at the dinner table. It doesn't mean that one automatically becomes some insufferable, effete wine snob. The only thing wimpy about this is your concern over what other people might think because you actually enjoy a good bottle of wine with your dinner. Seriously, are you surrounded by a bunch of 'necks who'll think that, "yer some kind of homoseckshul" for drinking wine?

If enjoying a bottle of wine somehow calls your manhood into question, then have a big martini before the wine with dinner, then a glass of cognac or single malt afterwards, then, when you get home, crack a beer on the couch while catching Sportscenter.

Actually, that sounds like a pretty damned good evening to me.:biggrin:

Always insist on wine made with grapes.

It will impress the hell out of your date that you are so James Bond like sophisticated, and the waiter will give you a slight head nod on your good taste in overlooking the otherwise attractive 99 cent peach wine.

When they serve a little taste of the wine after they open the bottle, resist the temptation to grab the waiter by the neck and say "What's with the cheap pour ass clown - you think I'm a homo who can't hold my liquor!!" Not to worry. That is just a "wine testing" ritual for you to impress the date. Swish some of the wine around in your mouth, and then swallow. Tell the waiter, "Ah....made with grapes I see."

Your date will be so impressed she'll ask you for some good lovin', Thump style!

Also, when at a fancy restaurant, be sure to specify that you would like the freshest wine available. Many times they will try to pass off old wine that has been sitting in a musty cellar for years. Be especially cautious in French restaurants. Those frogs are so filthy the let snails get into the food!
