ricevermicelliThe hour it takes me to select three bottles of wine are not my uncle Hexie's fault. Lots of other things are, but not that.
Hexie introduced me to seafood and taught me how to uncork champagne. He was working on wine when he left his wife and moved to Budapest. He would not approve of a wine-selection process that gave any consideration whatsoever to a wine with a truck on the label, or resulted in the purchase of anything pink.
Then again, he wouldn't have approved of a plan that involved hitting the grocery store the night before Thanksgiving either. Hexie would have stuffed and glazed a turkey using whatever was in the fridge. I know that because I watched him do it once.
