So this lady comes in last night to A'romas with a bottle of wine. Our policy doesn't allow for outside food or beverage--right?--but she's got this big ol' bottle of red wine and she's dressed up all nice and Carissa asks her, "Did you bring us some wine?"
The woman says, "No. It was a gift for some people--but it's leaking. See?" and she shows us that the top of the cork has a small hole. Then she says, "I had it in the back of my car and it was rolling around and... I guess..." The woman shrugs. "Do you guys want it? I can't give it to them like this," and Carissa and I look at each other and say, "Hell yeah we'll take it."
We drank the wine later with Rachel at Carissa's house with cheap frozen pizza. It was past 3:00 AM by the time I left. Mostly it's the idea that some woman came into A'romas and gave us a free bottle of 1998 Cabernet from a local Healdsburg winery. This memory isn't as exciting to me as when someone tipped us a joint, but still pretty exciting. So thanks for the story, Woman with Leaky Wine Bottle.
And in case Rachel becomes a famous singer, I want to remember that she played her CD for us.
