In our house it's always the line about the merlot that we quote.
ReplyDeleteYears ago used to be our wine of choice. Now we tend to go for Malbecs.
ReplyDeleteI have to add: we are still seriously uncritical wine drinkers. Roz Chast is us: https://condenaststore.com/featured/wine-tasting-tour-roz-chast.html
ReplyDeleteWe do have merlot from time to time, but it's always paired with the quote.
ReplyDeleteElaine pointed out that the wine he drinks at the end in the fast-food place is a merlot. (?!)
ReplyDeleteTrue enough. I recall that scene well.
