[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is it still trashy to like Silver Oak?

Was never my fav, but enjoyed some of the library wines when we visited. At some point restaurant staff would chuckle and roll their eyes if you ordered it. Should I still be judging people?

It received some scorn as a very fruit forward wine among more advanced folks - the less sophisticated crowd loved to destroy bottles of it at steakhouses while other people enjoyed an Opus or Insignia, maybe, or something French and old. I never really understood the mentality, but apparently it was a thing for a while maybe 7-10 years ago.

It's not even a cheap wine.

The best part about wine drinking or beer drinking or Whiskey Drinking or whatever you drink is that it's your choice and everybody has different tastes
I wouldn't let anybody dictate what I like.

Sounds to me like you hang out with a snobby crowd however you don't sound snobby to me you sound worried about what they think.
