Matthew's attempt at being a waiter/sommelier to a couple getting engaged is the most hilarious thing.
First there is the swagger ("OK, I am going in. Check out the walk."), then the ludicrous questions ("What does it do to your nose?"), the comical wine pairings ("You know what goes well with engagement? A glass of giggles."), and the farcical ideas ("Would you like to hear the Welsh National anthem? Are you sure?" - turning to Matthew Rhys - "Do it!"), before concluding that "It was a good decision not to sing the Welsh national anthem."
🤣🤣🤣 I cannot, it's too hysterical.

🍷About/Backstory🍷
A human family adopted Zohariel when he was a baby. He was left at the door one cold, rainy evening in a dark wooden basket, discovered by the vintner’s wife. There was a letter placed on him that only indicated his first name. Unable to track his parents, the family decided to adopt him as their own. They knew, however, that taking in a ‘demonling’ would be the talk of the town. The employees that worked at Maroon Oak Vineyards and Caves were also uncertain about the tiefling. But the vintner’s wife saw it as a sign.
The human family consisted of a hardworking husband, a lovely wife, two older sons, and their pets and stallions. Zo was adapting to the family-owned winery. He was a very curious boy, always in the vineyards and learning everything he could about wine. While his brothers didn’t like working in the fields or wanted to get themselves into the wine business, Zo helped his adopted parents. He would pick grapes, give tours of the winery and caves (with human supervision since not all were comfortable with a tiefling around), count bottles, and do wine tasting with his human father. He grew to be sophisticated and knowledgeable in the production of wine and was responsible for even more than the family imagined. Many years ago, he and his father had grown unique grapes, maroon grapes, to create a unique wine for the winery that became popular.
He took studies in hospitality along with becoming the youngest to become a master sommelier at 23. Zohariel’s adopted parents soon gave him full control of Maroon Oak Vineyards as a birthday present at the age of 25. He still participates in everything. Zo travels frequently to represent the winery and even goes to other wineries around the world to learn how others operate and how he could improve the business. When not traveling, he likes to overlook the vineyards and facilities, making sure all the employees are well. Zohariel still gives tours every once in a while and doesn’t mind demonstrating wine-tasting courses.    
Tumblr media
❤️Personality❤️
Zohariel has an impeccable taste in wine culture. He developed a fascination for the wine industry at a young age as a result of growing up in a vintner family and being close to the vineyards. Over time, he grew to have sophisticated manners around others compared to his human brothers, who were the troublemakers around the winery and stables when they were younger. It was thanks to his adoptive mother that he was raised on good terms. Zo also doesn’t tolerate those who fool around the winery. He is very strict to the point, often firing those who harass others or spreading word about the Tiefling and their ‘demon’ ways.
He is very cautious around others that he meets for the first time. After all, meeting a ‘demonling’ that has taken over a human winery is strange and odd. The remarks made behind his back as a child hurt him. Zo now studies people’s motives and their intentions toward the Tiefling. Sometimes he uses his expertise and charm on clientele or tourists that visit the winery, offering recommendations according to their individual preferences. He only grew to have meaningful connections to those that he has worked with at the winery, along with his adoptive family members that still live nearby. Zo has networked with other wineries that have viewed him differently after his first visit and often invite him to dinners, events, or to have him do a wine tasting demonstration.
The Tiefling has never bothered to find others of his own kind outside of where he lives. Even when traveling the world to other wineries, no thought had come to mind to find other Tieflings. He has never been in any serious relationship or has found any human females to be worthy of his heart. He keeps to himself for the most part. Only a selective few (those that work in the winery and family members) are aware of Zohariel’s past. He prefers not to dwell on it or remember the rough times his parents spent raising a ‘demon’.
Tumblr media
🔮Abilities🔮
Darkvision - Zohariel can see in the dark. This is useful when going deeper into caves where light is limited. He can’t distinguish color in the dark, however.
Hellish Resistance - He is resistant to fire, discovered one night when their old stable caught fire. His foolish human brothers were playing around with matches, and young Zohariel assisted the stallions in escaping the burning stable. His adoptive human parents were in horror as the building collapsed and fire engulfed Zo. They were relieved when Zo walked out unharmed by the flames.
Sommelier - By definition, also known as wine stewards, sommeliers are trained and are knowledgeable wine professionals. Zo took many wine-essential courses, along with working at his family’s winery and working at fine dining establishments. He helps with recommendations in wine pairing, working alongside top-rated chefs, and even hosting wine tastings at his family’s winery from time to time.

please help me ID this weird bottle I found
ok I know this isn't anything related to anything I typically post but im at a loss as to what to do so i'm throwing this out into the void of the internet to see if it sticks
earlier today I was in a consignment store and came across this bottle of mysterious red liquid.
Tumblr media
the employees didn't know what it was, they guessed it was vinegar. I'm not even sure what this bottle is supposed to look like. a boar? a fish? idk. it looks like the type of thing that would either kill me or grant me superpowers. never abiding by a mystery and with no regard to my personal safety (re: curses and ancient magic or poison) I of course bought it and took it home. I verbatim told the cashier that if I don't come back next week, this probably killed me.
opening up the dusty dried cork at the top confirmed that it was some type of red wine, at least from the scent. I poured it into a measuring cup and strained out as much of the floating particulate as I could and ended up with about 750mls, which I'm pretty sure is standard wine bottle size. I'm keeping the reserved wine (?) in a sealed plastic bottle while I clean this one (if I can't reuse the bottle for liquid, it at least looks nice?) and I have resolved to at least taste it once
Tumblr media Tumblr media
google has been absolutely no help in finding this bottle's origin, has anyone seen a bottle shaped like this one before? or know what winery it came from? for reference, I'm in New York so this might be something from the finger lakes? it's got to have been sitting for at least a few years as there was a large amount of sediment on the bottom of the bottle before I opened it. anyone got any guesses?
I will reblog with updates after I taste it (assuming that it does not kill me) in a few hours, as it's currently going through a coffee filter to get the particles out.

“For the past few years, a quiet revolution has been taking place in the wine industry. Cans are cool and bag-in-box is chic, and not just according to Vogue. The stigma of alternative wine containers, from kegs to cartons, has drained away. Perfectly portable, often beautifully designed cylindrical vessels are demystifying the rarefied world of wine. Cans are shaping up to be one of the most promising sustainable interventions in the industry.
Francis Ford Coppola’s eponymous winery was among those leading the aluminum charge, with its 2004 canned tribute to his daughter, Sofia Blanc de Blancs. Nearly two decades later, there are plenty of canned wines to choose from: an unfussy pinot noir from the Washington winery Underwood, a juicy Love Red from California’s Broc Cellars or Bridge Lane’s Bubbles, a fizzy blend of whites that slips down with disconcerting ease. The business of canned wine is growing rapidly, making up $235.7m of the global wine market in 2021, and estimated to surpass $570m by 2028. (It’s a fraction of 2021’s $424.99bn wine market, but a fast-blooming one nonetheless.)
For centuries, the 750ml glass bottle proved itself the best container for wine: humble, graceful and inert, and thus ideal for ageing. But glass bottles are responsible for the largest percentage of greenhouse gas emissions from the wine industry. A 2014 report by the Wine Institute, an industry association of California wineries, found that glass bottles accounted for 29% of the carbon footprint of wine – and that’s not including transport, during which the vessels’ heavy weight pushes emissions up further.
To top it all off, the creation of glass bottles in white-hot furnaces is hugely energy-intensive. We think of glass as recyclable, which technically it is – but in the US, only 31% of glass is recycled, compared with 50% of aluminum cans. For wine drinkers who care about the planet, considering alternative containers is essential.
A SystemBolaget study... shows that switching to three 250ml aluminum cans (which together contain as much wine as a bottle) cuts 79% of carbon emissions produced by traditional packaging. What’s more, aluminum is infinitely recyclable; almost 75% of the aluminum ever produced is still in use today...
Glass bottles are unbeatable for ageing wine, [sommelier Miguel de Leon] grants, but for the majority of wines, which are meant to be consumed within the first five years of being produced, De Leon doesn’t see why cans aren’t the go-to. “I feel like the environmental impacts really outweigh what the stigma is of consuming wine in a can,” De Leon says.”   -via The Guardian (US), 1/9/23
