I am currently being persecuted by a vile illness: the sniffles! After I dropped my kid off I stopped to buy water and the Bacchanalia dude said Care to try some wine?
Furrowing my brow, I brilliantly replied Huh?
He said There is a wine rep – a new line – you should try it!
Oh, shivers. I don’t know how to do that!
He laughed at my stricken expression and said Go on!
-Do I have to?
-Yes. It is mandatory!
Obedient for once, I reluctantly walked to the back of the shop, where a very nice Australian man explained the differences between, um, grapes. I think. It was confusing, I’m sick, and I didn’t know where to look. Now I have officially gone to a wine tasting. With a head cold. How horrifying!
