It was a hot one the day I cracked open this bottle. I think
it got up to 107, which is pretty hot for June. July and August, usually in the
100s. It was so hot that there were asphalt roads exploding and a couple of people
died. It’s shaping up to be a long summer that requires lots of wine.
That night, I
went to the liquor store looking to get the wine of the week, but it was a
white, so I walked right past it. It’s probably better weather for a white, but
I got two bottles of Syrah (one Syrah and one Shiraz, which apparently are essentially the same thing??) instead. So far, I'm not much of a fan of the Syrah. Too dry.
After a glass, I met Luigi on Gmail video chat and we
talked for two hours while we drank. She showed me around her new apartment and we reminisced about relationships (current and past) and our high
school days. We’ve been friends for 15 years, so I’ve known her half my life. Back
in high school, we used to celebrate the birthdays of all of the Beatles
together in high school. We were lamenting because we missed Paul’s this year.
We
haven’t lived in the same town since high school, but we chat online pretty
much every day and video chat whenever the two of us have time. I’m lucky to
have such an amazing best friend.
