Our Last Melville Book Club
Allow me to remind you all of our upcoming blow-out. It's a very big deal, whether you or anyone, finished the book or not. We'll cook up some fish and oysters on the grill so bring beer and your appetite. And your harpoon. And don't worry Elijah, who made this whale-plane finished the book so he can tell us what happens in the end...
Smells Like Wine
Thank you to staff who attended last weeks Wine Tasting 101. For those of you who skipped this unique educational opportunity have fun feeling insecure. You missed such gems as "White Burgundy is the
O.G. of Chardonnay" or "imagine a monstery wine tearing up your mouth when your dealing with a pea shoot." We learned that fruity does not equal sweet and that sweetness is good with fire and cheese. Like coca-cola and Mexican. I learned what tannic means and that Pinot Noir is more tannic than Gamay. I also became intrigued by the concept of fantasy names, the name of the wine that describes nothing about it. Perhaps our names are all then fantasy names. Or perhaps my fantasy name is Brenda or Joe... And, believe it or not, we ended hoping you all felt a little less confused and a little more buzzed.
Tomorrow we will take on the army of pink in the basement. People unfairly hate Rose because they tend to have bad memories of viscous sugary wines known as White Zinfendel that tasted slightly of Benson and Hedges. Grandma cigarettes. Our pink wines are different, the real deal, delicate and thirst quenching. Rose is a summer wine, essentially the youngest wine you can drink, harvested just this past Fall. And unlike pink suspenders Rose goes with everything, making it the most versatile after Champagne and you can afford it! There is a reason we have the largest Rose list in the whole world. Rose is, if you don't know already, the best way to pick up girls. We love it and we think everyone should.
We would like to invite all staff to the back of Marlow at noon for more... musings?
