Pretension, thy name is Dunwoody

Back in the day, Dunwoody was the suburb of the wealthy and many a joke was made about the Dunwoody housewife who spent her day playing tennis, lunching at the club, and ferrying the kids to soccer practice. These days the equivalent community is further north: Alpharetta.

I guess Dunwoody was feeling a bit left out in the world of snobbery...and now we have the newest form of pretension: climate-controlled wine storage. Yes, while out procuring lunch today, I passed by Dunwoody Self Storage and a sign out front proclaiming the availability of wine storage. Now I do enjoy my wine and love learning more about good wine. I have a nice 8 bottle wine rack and do look forward to the day when Ed and I have a house with a finished basement which will be our entertainment & sports room, complete with a bar and a small wine chiller/fridge. But the idea of paying a monthly charge for a wine locker or wine storage room seriously blows my mind:

Climate Controlled Wine Storage Units
In addition to all Dunwoody Self Storage units being 100% climate-controlled, the Wine Storage area duplicates wine cellaring standards. The wine storage area is a walk-in controlled area that requires special codes on the entry door key pad, over and above the general security of the facility.

Who really has need of enough wine to warrant this? Talk about having more money than brains...

I have to post a comment ur about this area called Dunwoody. My wife was here for a convention so I drove her down here. This place is so hard to get around. Everything is Dunwoody this and that. People drive like idiots and if you don't have a Lexus, Benz, Beamer, or any other rediculously priced car, they look down at you. This is snob heaven at its best. Its all about who has more and keeping up or having more then the Jones. I would NEVER live here or bring up my kids here. One more thing Dunwoody paernts...tell your kids to pull up their pants! No one wants to see their underware. One kid even had stains on his and thats just plain gross!
