I was a big Cheers fan but never really got into Frasier until late in the running of the series when a colleague pointed out all the funny wine references. The two brothers, Niles and Frasier were just the epitome of wine snobbery and whoever wrote the wine lines really knew what they were talking about. The Cork Master episode was probably one of the greatest spoofs of wine geekdom ever. They say the best comedy is when you can recognize yourself in the material and this episode just nails the silly quirky mannerisms of us cork dorks. Although the blind tasting exam for the Master Sommelier exam was nothing like this scene, I still felt a certain kinship with both brothers. Too funny!
