MA: How did you learn so much about wine?
Me: My boyfriend's from California. He used to have to harvest wine grapes, actually.
MA: Is he Mexican?

Answer:

Yes. I sleep with a dirty immigrant. *BONK*

It's not an unnatural progression. Years of grape boycotts and labor actions have linked Mexicans and grapes in a lockstep for many. And in California, a slightly gauche response, but not if it leads to a conversation about immigrant isues and labor laws... the assumption might be that your boyfriend was/is a memeber of an oppressed minority.
