For Winos and French Speakers

---

Hey folks I need to know what a wine coubonet is. That spelling is just a guess. It's pronounced coo-bow-nay.Even if that means cabinet it's not just a cabinet it's a special kind of cabinet and I have no idea what it is and I need to know to get this done.

hmm babe not sure to be honest. I'm a wino.. okay HUGE Wino LoL.. but not sure what you're talkin about here. I tried different variations on google (which I am sure you have as well ) and all it would give me is cabinets.Anyway you can find out more info, like if it's a type of wine? Or possibly even a maker of wine? Or perhaps if it is a style of cabinet?

My guess, and that's all it is, is that it's some wine cabinet with a special function apart from a regular wine cabinet. I've already got four, 600 bottle, cellars so this is something different.

You're not thinking of 'Cabernet', are you, short for Cabernet Sauvignon, a red grape variety that makes big, strong red wines with a lot of tannin that cellar well.

I was actually wondering that as well.. lol.. Scotty had my brain working and google working too. I was off working google like a slave for the past hour, and than thought "I wonder if he meant Cabernet". You beat me to it

No, I'm not thinking Cabernet. Then again, I wasn't there when the sommelier (SP?), the wine guy, requested this, so I don't know what was talking place in the conversation. My dumbass senile boss was the one who wrote this down and for some idiotic reason didn't, or actually wouldn't, ask what the fuck it is.He always does this shit to me and then doesn't allow me to call and ask either. Stupid old fuck. I'm the one who had to explain to the dipshit what misan plas (SP?) was the first time he heard it. This is his fuckin' business if he doesn't know what the fuck something is he needs to pull his head out and ask. Damn dumb old worn out goat lickin' turd fucker.Do ya know how hard it is to find out what shit is when you don't have the slightest fucking clue how to spell it. That asshole has done this to me in Spanish, French (many times), Arabic and Hindi. Arabic was the worst the others I either knew or was eventually able to figure out.Damn dumb shit stain. There I feel better.

Might you by any chance mean ''cuvier''? This is the building where the wine is made in the château...

Your boss sounds a bit like Miranda Priestly from ''Devil Wears Prada'' by Lauren Weisberger. Not the point though...One more brain-wave (thanks to the ''Wine Bible'' on my lap)...Corbières? This is, according to this 910 page book, one of five of Languedoc's best know appelations for dry wines...

Thanks but I don't think that's it.I talked to my boss briefly and he says it's something that sits on a counter.Pardon me whilst I go bang my head on the wall.

I looked in previously mentioned big bible book again and found nothing to do with counters, wine or coo-bow-nays...good luck...

Thanks... I'm gonna need it.

ok either hes a total idiot and has no business teaching bears to shit in the woods or hes just really stupid and maybe its some sort of centerpiece, based around wine? i cant see him being a functional member of society if he thinks wine just sits on a counter...

All those things are completely true. All I can assume is it's some sort of specialized cabinet or chiller or decanter of some kind.I'm to much the common hoi polloi.I don't know about fancy wine sniffin' folk an' what they call 'em spit cups an' sech.

I used to manage a large wine store, and I can't think of what the hell this could be.I'm curious though. Couldn't you just call the place and ask despite your bosses idiocy about phone calls? Does he actually monitor your phone?

Ok, its either Carafes or the client has a French accent and he actually just asked for cabinets.

Wow, my boss can just be a dick sometimes. How the hell did he get to be the boss at all? Better yet, how does he tie his shoes every morning?

Bosses often get made bosses because they're dicks. They may have taken the credit for others' good work; they may have deflected the blame for their bad work onto others; perhaps the bigger boss (being a dick himself) thought that their arrogant attitude was boss material; or perhaps the bigger boss didn't want anyone immediately under him who would show him up.

Bosses usually want people under them who are loyal and will cover their asses in a tight spot. To the upwardly mobile imbecile, not much else matters. If you prove really good at it, though, you can sometimes ride their coat-tails up the ladder.

I totally agree with that!! My ex boss was a total dick... to the point where I had to go to his boss about bullying... now, I'm not a grass, but this had been going on for months, and I have to say, on a little bit of a tangent here, nobody should let that go on at all, if it starts, stop it before it gets out of hand!!
Your boss does sound like a total penarse (quote from Snatch, in case anyone is wondering) and personally, I'd just ring the other person off my mobile (cell for all you americans) when I was away from the office, if I really couldn't figure out what it was the tool actually wanted!!

I can't call cause I don't know who the sommelier is and anybody I would ask, it would get back to the boss.I've come to the same conclusion that he just didn't hear right.He got here because it's his firm.The problem is he's to old to handle this shit now. That begs the question what am I still doing here but that's another issue.
