...orders coffee. It has come to this. Sandwiched between law school work and moonlighting, the welcome pause brings the unwelcome realization that I cannot show up at the shop after a glass of cabernet.
Oh well.
(Ed comments – I have never seen you order red wine for yourself. That’s because cheap white wine is ok, whereas cheap red wine is undrinkable.)
I leave the shop tired, but very aware of the fact that I am just heading home, while so many others are heading out.
I'm glad that I am heading home.

ReplyDeleteI second that. Worse than cheap red wine though is cheap champagne, which is nevertheless very popular. Doesn't it give people stomach aches?
Well, by definition there is no such thing as cheap champagne! As for cheap bubbly wine -- that depends. You can have a Spanish Cava or an Italian Prosecco that hovers around $10 (even less at Woodman's) and is quite palatable, I think. Our own American bubblies -- there, the cheap stuff, I agree, is quite offputting.
