That was unnecessary.

Eric Asimov makes the case against Ty's love of boxed wine in this week's Pour column in the Times:

Quote:

IF you are satisfied with a wine that is palatable and goes down easy, you will never go thirsty spending less than $10 on a bottle.

But for just a few dollars more, a world opens wide, revealing all sorts of distinctive and delicious wines that speak of culture and history rather than communicating mere commerce.

the only good thing about $10-20 bottles is that they draw the crowds so that I'm left in peace in the fine wine aisle.

What exposes your dilettantism here, is that you asked him the wrong question. Its how do you define "aisle"? Where anyone who actually buys "fine" wine buys it, they don't have it in an aisle, they have it in a cellar or a cellar room.

Nice try though, I am sure you had Ty fooled.

cellar? you do realize how rocky much of western europe is, yes?

but what I do is buy Michigan. Ciccone Madonna select. To be honest it takes up less than half an aisle.

Is someone getting lots of money from you for wine "advice?"
would a guardian appointment help you?

You just have to wonder what motivates some people. She's in the news because she broke her fingernails in a car crash. So tragic [sarcasm intended].

Last week, I was at my son's hockey tournament, and I overheard another mother commenting about one of the boys (who is 9 or 10, tall for his age, and thin) to her friend, "Isn't Nicholas a tall, cool drink of water?" This struck me as bizarre, because I always thought that comment had sexual undertones, and she was talking about a 9-year-old boy, but I didn't think about it too much.

Then yesterday, I was talking with a friend at a coffee shop in my booming metropolis, and he says (in reference to another guy), "He's a long, tall drink of water..." and I nearly fell off my chair. The guy I was talking to is not gay or anything, and neither is the other guy he was talking about.

So, is it me? Or is this a little odd (not the fact that two different people would use the same sort of arcane phrase in the space of a week, but that they would each use it in reference to seemingly inappropriate objects)?
