The conversation continues with some words of wisdom about wine tasting room etiquette between David and Sunset Magazine Wine Editor Sara Schneider, who is one very well mannered but unpretentious lady. That conversation ends with some restaurant wine-by-the-glass tips from David that might ruffle the feathers of a few restaurateurs.
