Second Cheapest Wine
by emily
Have you guys seen this? It came out a little while ago but I reference it pretty much constantly so I should really just post it here. This is how I buy wine in restaurants! Is this how you buy wine in restaurants? Yes, it is, admit it.
“Yup. It’s wine.”
To take it one step further, this one time my friend Mike was on a diet where he couldn’t drink beer but red wine was okay so every time we went out he would order “one glass of your cheapest red wine, please” and it was the best.
Also please consider this post a teaser for the next installment of Box Wine Reviews. I’m grilling tonight so expect a review of a box of something white tomorrow!
YESSSSSS. My favorite part of that period of my life was that I was generally also buying a beer for Zilm at the same time. But the bartender would generally assume the drinks were reversed (sexist). So I constantly looked like the cheapest jerk ever. “One of your fancy beers please! Oh, and your shittiest wine too please. For the lady.”
I read once where some restaurants list their very worst wines as the next most expensive (um, second least cheap?) to catch skinflints like me who are too proud to order the cheapest wines. So, knowing that, I now boldly go for the cheapest! Forty, you are an idol!
