Pinot Puns

Pair it.

I added some fruit and orange juice—now she’s sangria than ever.

Pinot More

Christmas dinner, 2013. My mother in law is asked if she'd like some wine, is offered choices, Pinot Grigio, Mulled Apple or Cabernet. She's indecisive for a minute or so. Eventually, she settles on the apple wine. Her father comments, "well that sure took a long time."

I retorted with, "Well, she had to mull it over for a bit."

Simultaneously, 4 generations of women roll their eyes at me, while the guys all laugh.

So someone forgot to take a bottle of Pinot Grigio out of the freezer last night. I walked in and saw the broken bottle, asking my dad why they don't just wait for it to melt and drink it then. His response: "there's glass everywhere... It's SHARDonnay now.

The entire table was embroiled in a detailed conversation on their wine preferences, red vs. white, how pinot grigio was sometimes too dry, etc. Her dad asked, Know what my favorite wine is? I hate having to pay taxes!
