Final evening, I went on a date that began off effectively. We met at a fantastic Brooklyn bar and ordered an ideal cheese plate and two drinks. However when my wine arrived, you guys, it was…pure.
In fact, I notice that pure wine is cool nowadays. New York Journal calls it “a wine-list must-have.” Bon Appetit describes the vibe as “enjoyable, unfussy, and just a little tipsy.” A New York Occasions author introduced, “Pure wine is my self-care.”
So, what am I lacking??? I wish to be cool! The wine is simply so bitter. Final evening, my drink tasted like my youngsters had hosted a lemonade stand, then left the container within the fridge for a number of weeks, till I took an unsuspecting sip. To be truthful, the flavour grew on me all through the night, however not as a lot because the uncool common wine that I’ve cherished my whole grownup life, is that an excessive amount of to ask for?
One one who does perceive is my dad. When he visited final Thanksgiving, I poured him a glass of a pure wine {that a} visitor had introduced. “Do this,” I informed him, curious what he’d suppose. His quick response? He spat it into the sink, and as an alternative of claiming, “Hmmm, not for me,” or “I suppose I favor others,” he seemed up with panicked eyes and requested, “WHY WOULD THEY MAKE THAT.”
Jake Cornell’s reels about pure wine at all times make me chuckle.
So! Only for enjoyable on this sweltering Wednesday, inform me: What’s one thing fashionable you simply don’t get? Mustaches? Sharing meals? Love Really? (And to be clear, I actually cherished the bar, and my date himself was extraordinarily cute!)
P.S. Different controversies: Placing ice in wine and not saying goodbye at events.
