Sit down! The movie’s about to start!
I just love Doris Day!
Doreen, the movie’s about to start and I notice you haven’t mentioned much about the Verge Dry Creek Valley Syrah 2-Pack I picked up. Well of course I’m glad you like it, but did you happen to think of anything in particular with reference to tonight?
Hmm? Well, no, it’s not a particularly special night; I mean, any night with you is special, Doreen, but no, there’s no anniversary or anything. Well it is an intensely aromatic wine bursting with aromas of blackberries, blueberries, and spice. But that’s not really relevant to tonight. Certainly, the light notes of clove, cinnamon and vanilla are playful among the darker fruit tones, but I feel like you’re over thinking here.
No, well, yes, 2007 produced a longer growing season for Dry Creek Valley resulting in more developed and fully-flavored fruit, but the connection I’m making isn’t quite that deep. Pull back just a little.
Think about it: we’re watching The Man Who Knew Too Much and drinking Syrah. Eh? Eh?
Oh come on! This is the movie in which the song “Que Sera, Sera” debuted! It was a thoughtful bit of word play! Sera, Syrah? I can’t believe you missed it. Yeesh, you kept going on about palates and legs and noses like I’m supposed to know how any of that relates to this movie.
Fine. I’ll watch it alone.
