Don't waste my time. Choose something we have.

The Honest Nature of Wine
Uncle Henry Skinner:
Max, have I told you why I enjoy making wine so much?
Young Max:
You don't make the wine, Uncle Henry - that guy Duflot does.
Uncle Henry Skinner: [reproachfully]
In France it's always the landowner who makes the wine, even though he does nothing more than supervise with binoculars from the comfort of his study. No, I enjoy making wine, because this sublime nectar is quite simply incapable of lying. Picked too early, picked too late, it matters not - the wine will always whisper into your mouth with complete, unabashed honesty every time you take a sip.

The Significance of a Good Blue Suit
Uncle Henry Skinner: [bringing out two bottles of wine]
I thought, as it's your last night here, it only appropriate that we open something extra special.
Young Max: [pointing to one of the bottles]
Bandol.
Uncle Henry Skinner:
Excellent choice. Tempier Bandol, 1969, the kind of wine that'll pickle even the toughest of men. I once saw a Castilian prizefighter collapse in a heap after drinking just a single glass. Perhaps my knee landing squarely in his testicles may have been partly to blame... What was I talking about before?
Young Max:
You said the importance of a good blue suit can never be overstated.
Uncle Henry Skinner:
Quite right. A blue suit is the most versatile of accoutrements. More important than the suit itself, is the man who fits it for you. Once you find a good tailor, you must never give his name away - not even under the threat of bodily harm.

The Wisdom of Losing and Winning
Uncle Henry Skinner:
You'll come to see that a man learns nothing from winning. The act of losing, however, can elicit great wisdom. Not least of which is, uh... how much more enjoyable it is to win. It's inevitable to lose now and again. The trick is not to make a habit of it.
