    Sorry, I know its not too important, but I was sitting at the computer when I heard a loud bang, and the sound of glass and bottles shatter.....I ran into the dining room to see the clock (which i just changed the time on due to daylight savings) had fallen off the wall, landed on my wine rack, knocked over and broke 2 bottles of wine (didn't matter) and a couple bottles of locals (not terribly upset) and also a few of my favorite glasses. My all time favorite snifter from the Southampton release, shattered into a million pieces on the floor. Cleaned it all up, but still bummed about the snifter. Sorry about posting this I was upset and figured you guys would understand!

    I dumped one at Ebenezers about two years ago. Much more public. Much more humiliating .
    Everyone was very nice. I went home. Forgive me father for I have sinned.

    This is my number one rule: Never put a clock over a wine rack.

    Ironically, TIME will heal his wound. <-- Bad joke.

    Glassware should come with expiration dates IMO, I can't count how many glasses I have broken, or have seen break in my house due to others doing dumb things. It seems your wine and glass, CLOCKED OUT.

    I'm sorry to hear that. I once sat on a very fragile pokal that I loved. I now only have one.

    So sorry to hear that. I, knock on wood, have not lost any of my glassware yet, but I know it is destined to happen at some point, and I know it will be a sad day indeed.....

    I realized the only glassware that I've had break were the ones I swiped from a bar back in the day and they were broken by my wife. I've since grew up long ago and stopped being a thieving douche and I won't let my wife touch my glasses.

    I've had a few break on me... Most notably, my Stone nonic that I used very often. Still need to buy a replacement when I see one on the shelf again.
