Like, how do the Picards get to keep their bigass vineyard? Do they supply the public with free terrible wine in exchange for this massive piece of land? Can anyone walk around there? Could they pick some grapes for themselves? Who is tending this vineyard, surely not just his weird brother, and especially so, who's tending it after they die in generations? How did Sisko'a dad get the restaurant property? Sure there's technically limitless space cause you can go live on some colony, but those always seem to be weird semi agrarian weirdos or a single town with a staircase that leads no where in the center. I demand to know how the federation does real estate!

mais oui! in a future with replicators that can just produce the best wine ever on command, authenticity will become most desirable. the picards spike their wines with industrially produced ethanol and mix it with cane sugar, just as their ancestors did.

and sisko's dad unscrews a bottle in new orleans for some customers. "stardate 4280, a terrible vintage!" he says and smiles as he pours out two glasses.

My headcannon for a while has been that the vineyard Bart Simpson had to live at in that early Simpsons episode was chateau Picard

Fuck you just spiked this into my head cannon and I cant get it out now.

also the episode where picard went home was aired 6 months after crepes of wrath which is kinda funny
