Sorry about the title-lyric from a song I liked. Seemed apropos for this post.
So, I'm in my kitchen the other evening, and one of our lovely ladies had arrived. Although I'm not much of a drinker myself, I keep several bottles of nice wine in my fridge for guests. So...I offer the young lady in question her choice of wines, one of which i think would better suit her expressed preferences. To my surprise, she chose the other bottle. Her reason was, "that one. I don't drink wine with screw-on caps."
Now I know not everyone is a wine conneseur, but I was a bit startled. Mildly dismayed might be more accurate. For those who don't know, more and more reputable vintners have begun using screw caps. Just so people are aware, screw caps do not mean cheap.
Nonetheless, I politely put the $50 bottle away and served the $25 bottle that had a cork. Not that I'd be so gauche as to mention the cost to her, of course.
After all...sometimes you say it best when you say nothing at all.
Neither the first nor the last time courtesy requires my silence. Still, I thought I'd share this little tidbit so no one accidentally trots that little gem out.
Too funny!
