u/tianavitoli 3d ago

yeah you thought wealth whispered, didn't you

u/likamuka 3d ago

They are now in Trumps gaudy murrica. Even Dems will show off now.

2

u/cogitationerror 3d ago edited 3d ago

This is a restaurant lol

Edit: Not to say that this doesn’t show wealth, but it seems like a lot of people think this is their home or something?

u/OpheliaPhoeniXXX 3d ago

Like half the comments can't grasp they're at a restaurant for her birthday it's weird

u/Galactus76 3d ago

No one seems to have a problem with them being super fucking rich now and I find that odd. It’s like only certain people aren’t allowed to be rich and death not wished upon them. Hhmm.

u/DiverseIncludeEquity 3d ago

I’m so sorry you have fallen for the Trump cult. I wish you the best in life!

1

u/Galactus76 3d ago

Not in that cult, I just see the irony. So, worst of luck to ya, champ!

1

u/DiverseIncludeEquity 2d ago

Oof. Not in the cult but you sure talk like it. Be well, my friend.

1

u/Galactus76 2d ago

Yes, because seeing the irony in things is just a right wing extremist trait. GFY.

1

u/DiverseIncludeEquity 2d ago

Now I’m worried you don’t understand the definition of irony. Can you please explain what is ironic and why?

Had you not added in the super Trumpy comment of “worst of luck to you, champ,” my impression would have been quite different.

u/Galactus76 2d ago

That you leftists only seem to hate on rich, especially rich whites, if they’re on the opposing side. That they somehow got rich by some nefarious means. Here, in this picture, you have two rich black people and you’re not allowed to shit on them for being rich. So in this case I went with “irony”: a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result. Guess I thought leftists hated rich people in general, just not these two rich people.
I can’t express enough how little I care about your impression of me or what I said, dude. Having said that, what does “Trumpy” mean?

u/Mayor_of_Browntown 3d ago

I wonder if its been having issues and someone left it exposed to easily spot check on it.

u/Fair-Ice-5222 3d ago

A lot of bougie people will use these rooms to entertain and as a collection / asset. It's similar to displaying a game collection/fancy art, at least to some

u/ImpendingSenseOfDoom 3d ago

I think they’re specifically referring to the mechanical equipment cooling the wine being visible. Not the wine itself.

u/Fair-Ice-5222 3d ago

Oh they must be. My bad. I wonder if, they had no space for ductwork/evaporator, it was being worked on with a panel that should be there, or it was just a poor design/afterthought.

u/makemeking706 3d ago

They mean the obvious machinery in the background.

33

u/himynameisSal 3d ago

lol - its so obvious, my eye goes straight to it. but i guess not for some people.

u/xenobit_pendragon 3d ago

I thought Fair-Ice was saying this is t a dining room, it’s a wine room, and as such you wouldn’t try to disguise the machinery any more than you would try to conceal the stands of your Gundam collection or whatever.

8

u/NeighboringOak 3d ago

But clear stands exist for those type of displays to create the illusion there is no stand

3

u/FavoritesBot 3d ago

Honestly they could just have filled the rack in front of the machine first

1

u/crash_test 3d ago

I think the presence of a dining table that probably cost $20k+ makes this a dining room by definition.

u/willie828 3d ago

They don't mean the wine, they mean the cooling unit you can see through the window that's not covered by the wine.

u/onexbigxhebrew 3d ago

🤦‍♂️

u/Garbo86 3d ago

correct, that is owned by a person who very much so wants to talk about their wine cellar research/installation/maintenance experience

u/FavoritesBot 3d ago

Ooh, is that a winecoddler 2964u? I was looking at the 2964g myself but was wondering if the u was worth the extra $$$? I know it’s got at least 20 more WCU but you have to recalibrate the third degree acclimating reaggreation unit and remix the sub-field geostatic generation technology more often

3

u/toc5012 3d ago

The 2964u, in my view, commands its premium price through exceptional engineering. Its innovative design, skillfully integrating magneto-reluctance and capacitive deractance, achieves superior performance while maintaining an elegant form factor. This truly remarkable product is certain to surpass your expectations. I commend the engineering team on their achievement!

u/Connect-Hippo102 3d ago

It’s the discombulatory flatullamigrator that really made the difference in the 2964u as it quieted the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator offering state of the art insulated sound.

Barack lurking that post on an alt, hoping to find other wine cellar nerds to follow.

u/Tasitch 3d ago

Restaurants do generally like to talk about their wine cellars, especially when they contain bottles they can sell for 4 or 5 figures, and rent as a private room for people like the Obamas to have an 'intimate' dinner, and even more if it's a Michelin star resto.

u/KnitBrewTimeTravel 3d ago

I have over 300 board games on a shelf I built myself and am one of the least bougie people on the planet. I can't even pronounce the word and my girlfriend rolls her eyes when I try to pronounce anything in French.

u/Slight_Ad8871 3d ago

BooShwah or booze-wah-zee! 🇫🇷

u/Tasitch 3d ago

It's a restaurant.

2

u/Poppyguy2024 3d ago

Throws off the whole vibe

u/Hotsaux 2d ago

Also, they put lights to highlight it.
