Wine as Seduction: Help a Colleague Build a Case
Help a colleague of mine build a case — of wine, that is.
Some of you wine-tasting regulars have met my handsome and talented and single (well, talented and single, anyway) reporter colleague, Mehul Srivastava, whose learning curve and enjoyment of wine are accelerating so incredibly fast that …
…I suspect he wants my job.
He’s headed to Washington D.C. Thursday (11-10-05) and wants to take a case of wine with him to sustain him during his stay (although recommendations on where to buy wine in the District would also be welcomed, I’ll bet). Here is what he’ll need the wines for:
A) Casual evening with friends before heading out for the bars
B) A Chianti or two with a friend who likes them.
C) After an evening out, at my place, with a special friend. (Hmmm. Subtle, that Mehul.)
D) One “Wow!” wine to look forward to, to cap off my stay there.
E) A wine to slowly drink during the evenings when I stay in (cold, strange city, when the wine is my only friend …)
F) One to remind me of Dayton
G) And one surprise.
Now, there is a kicker: He doesn’t want to spend too much on this case of wine — not much more than $100, maybe $120 tops. That works out to $10 a bottle, maybe a little more, minus discount plus tax.
Anybody out there who can help poor Mehul? He’s already gotten some VERY good suggestions (see comments) but is still (ahem) thirsting for more….
Cheers!
