Get in the Jacuzzi, Susie!

Blog guy, you seem to know quite a bit about sophisticated stuff.  A friend gave me some Beaujolais Nouveau, and I’d like to cook her a special meal and open the bottle. What food goes great with this wine?

Food? Food? I’m so glad you came to me for help!  As you can see in this photo from a trendy resort, you don’t drink Beaujolais Nouveau, you bathe in it.  If you invite your friend over to “enjoy the wine,” that’s what she’ll be expecting.  I’m pretty sure Beaujolais Noveau translates directly to ”Rev up the Jacuzzi.”

How embarrassing it would have been if you had poured the wine into stemware next to a hearty stew or whatever. Yeesh.

That’s never coming out.

Bathing in wine sounds decadent - until someone brings the toddlers. What the heck?

You know, when I’m sitting in a pool of my own wine nobody thinks it’s cute.
