It was a choice between the Cabernet Sauvignon and the Merlot.
The Cabernet said it was full-flavoured and reliable, good with roast or grilled meats as well as dishes with sauces.
The Merlot said it was soft and fruity, good with spicier dishes or more savoury foods.
I had been deciding between the bottles for a while and the shop assistant was beginning to look at me suspiciously. My basket was empty so it wasn't really a question of food. It was more a question of which would be the best companion for a Saturday night.
I picked the Merlot -forget Sideways- and took it home. Then I pulled up a chair next to the window and together we looked at the passing life. It was full of sound and fury, on its way to Mamma Mia! and curry houses and clubs. I couldn't figure it out, maybe I should've picked the Cabernet.
