Final night time, I went on a date that began off properly. We met at a lovely Brooklyn bar and ordered an amazing cheese plate and two drinks. However when my wine arrived, you guys, it was…pure.
After all, I understand 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 a bit 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 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 liked my complete grownup life, is that an excessive amount of to ask for?
One one that 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 advised him, curious what he’d suppose. His fast response? He spat it into the sink, and as a substitute of claiming, “Hmmm, not for me,” or “I suppose I favor others,” he regarded up with panicked eyes and requested, “WHY WOULD THEY MAKE THAT.”
Jake Cornell’s reels about pure wine at all times make me chortle.
So! Only for enjoyable on this sweltering Wednesday, inform me: What’s one thing well-liked you simply don’t get? Mustaches? Sharing meals? Love Really? (And to be clear, I actually liked the bar, and my date himself was extraordinarily cute!)
