- I guess the star in it is that 1961 Cheval Blanc
- you have a 61 Cheval Blanc and you keep it there? (You've got a '61 Cheval Blanc and it's just sitting there?)
-Yes I do.
-Go get it . I 'm serious! Hurry! '61 is the best time, right? (The '61s are peaking right now aren't they? Taht's what I've read.)
-That's right, yeah.
-It might be too late already. What are you waiting for?
-Oh I don't know.A special occasion with the right person.It was supposed to be for my 10th wedding anniversary but…
-You know the day you open a '61 Cheval Blanc...that's the special occasion.(When you When you opened Cheval Blanc '61, that was that special time.)
- Not sure why you're obsessed with wine? (why are you into wine?)
-i think i originally got into wine through my ex-husband. you know he had a big sort of show-off cellar (he had a big cellar to show off), but then i discovered that i had a really sharp palate (then I found my palate is very sharp), and the more i drank, the more i like what it made me think about.
-like what?
-like what a fraud he was. (let's say I realized he was a fraud.)...i mean i like to think about the life of wine.how it's a living thing.i like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing...how the sun was shining...if it rained. i like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes...and if it's an old wine how many of them must be dead by now. i like how wines continues to evolve, like if li opened a bottle of wine today...it would taste different than if i'd opened it on any other day. because a bottle of wine is actually alive and it's constantly Evolving and gaining complexity. that is until it peaks...like your '61. and then it begins its steady, inevitable decline. and it tastes so fucking good.(I like to think about the life of wine, how it is a living thing, I like to think about what happens in a year when the grapes are ripe...how the sun shines when it rains. I like to think about the care and picking The people of the grapes...if it was an old wine, most of them are now dead. I like that wine is constantly evolving, like if I opened a bottle today...it would taste different than I have at any other time Open it. Because a bottle of wine is actually alive...and it keeps evolving, it keeps getting new elements, and so on until it's peak...like your 61 year old bottle, and then it starts A smooth, inevitable decline... and it finally tastes damn good.)
