The Wine Barrel

Last week I ran into the wine barrel on my way out. I was in a hurry as usual, very eager to get to my friends house and perch outside in the sun with a nice glass of wine. I tend to get a little bit stressed in shops like this, where the walls are lined ceiling to floor with bottles of wine. I don’t have the time to sift through and read labels and get a good feel of the selection. But I also don’t want to end up with a disappointing bottle! To make matters even more difficult I’m stingy as can be and don’t want to be parting with an excess amount of money for something, which will be gone in the amount of time it takes to exchange some gossip. Because of all this, I thought it was best to just ask at the counter.
«I’d like a good sav for under $ 20 please». It was as easy as that. In a few minutes I’d been shown some options and there was a clear winner. I bought the bottle and was surprised to receive a free plastic cup with it. (Not quite the classy thing I was going to be sipping out of that night… but perfect for a picnic for sure). I thoroughly enjoyed my bottle and was very happy with the quick, easy service I got here. Will be sure to return!
