Final night time, I went on a date that began off effectively. We met at a lovely Brooklyn bar and ordered an excellent cheese plate and two drinks. However when my wine arrived, you guys, it was…pure.
In fact, I understand that pure wine is cool lately. 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 need to be cool! The wine is simply so bitter. Final night time, my drink tasted like my children had hosted a lemonade stand, then left the container within the fridge for just a few weeks, till I took an unsuspecting sip. To be honest, the flavour grew on me all through the night, however not as a lot because the uncool common wine that I’ve liked my complete 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 that,” I informed him, curious what he’d assume. His speedy response? He spat it into the sink, and as an alternative of claiming, “Hmmm, not for me,” or “I suppose I want 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 standard you simply don’t get? Mustaches? Sharing meals? Love Truly? (And to be clear, I actually liked the bar, and my date himself was extraordinarily cute!)
P.S. Different controversies: Placing ice in wine and not saying goodbye at events.
