Apparently the powers that be feel that there are not enough wine bars around here. VaVino got renamed Erotica, Siip is moving to the other end of the mall, and Crush will open this weekend in Belmont.
What is up with the names of these places? What should we name the next few? Sniff. Spit. Swallow. Hmm…
Meanwhile, I think all life has been crushed out of me. My entire goal for the day was to get up, get things done at work, and then go running at the gym. I did the first. The second was the daily nightmare. During the day I went and bought milk so I could eat cereal. I also went and bought some wine (the main thread of this story). I didn’t want to carry both things home, so I grabbed the wine. I would get the milk after the gym.
Well…I got home and just don’t have the energy to go to the gym. I’d rather just curl up in a ball in a corner with a blanket. Since I didn’t go to the gym I decided to eat some cereal. I have no milk. Oh well…cereal with water. No gym. Nothing productive. I’m getting so out of shape and putting on the pounds. Tomorrow I’ll be trying to do the same three things. How many will I get done?
I think I need something they will sell at Crush. Or maybe I just need some Crush.
Doc, maybe you’re just joking (and I haven’t had my caffeine kick in enough yet to realize it), but VAVino became Enoteca, not Erotica (although that’s an interesting Freudian thing, if you really did think it true!). Enoteca is Italian for wine celler, which is fitting given that the place now concentrates on Italian wines. I still miss the original version of VAVino, before the legislature screwed up the concept of concentrating on VA wines by requiring wineries to hire distributors and prevented them from just dropping off a case or two to local restaurants, themselves. By the time the law was altered, too late. Enoteca is okay, but it just isn’t VAVino, my favorite idea, as it was originally conceived.
Good one, Doc…
