Difference between a wine geek and wine snob?

[JDubb]

To me there are 3 categories of wine drinkers on the planet. The bulk who just drink, wine geeks and wine snobs.

Wine Geek- Someone who will try any wine and have an opinion on that wine based on the quality. The attend offlines (if you don't know the term you are not in the category), use Cellar Tracker, love finding $80 in a closeout bin, love educating others, use proper stemware and bring them to a restaurant. OF COURSE FOLLOWS THE TASTING PROCESS.

Wine Snob- Drinks Silver Oak, Caymus, Opus One. Think they know a ton about wine but have not clue Bordeaux is Cab and Merlot dominated. Will only drink a wine over $100 or refuses to try new wines. Uses improper stemware at times. May or may not use the tasting process.

I am a total wine geek for life!!!!!
