It's actually "Beaujolais" and although festive is not a Grand Cru. It's a country wine of the year, meant to be drunk that year. Pleasant, fruity, nothing more. That wine knows its place...

Just before the last downturn I was in a trendy Upper East Side French bistro and heard a fellow try to impress his date by asking the sommelier for a "Tres Grande Beaujolais".

As the French say "It is to laugh."

Great column though, thanks!

This actually gets me quite in the mood for a recession. The question is, will the price of condoms be left unchanged, or will we have to settle for that saran-wrap advice we heard from our (slutty!) friend in seventh grade?

LOL!"Like an Alzheimer’s patient, we return to the $20-per-ticket Museum of Modern Art again and again for an ill-conceived date with someone we don’t know very well and already feel awkward around. The museum date is a clumsy murder-suicide: the two of you shuffle from sculpture to painting while acting like pretentious eggheads as you try to discuss art that you don’t understand. Catch a discount matinee instead, and grope in the dark.

Combine America’s declining interest in knowledge, free admission, and sultry, stuffy sex-maniac librarians, and suddenly you have an accessible, sparsely populated impromptu orgy club. The public library, with its many dim corners and unlocked “reading rooms,” is a recession-era Plato’s Retreat. Take it from a former librarian: the microfiche room is far from obsolete when reappropriated in the right fashion. " LOL!

A very refreshing perspective thar McRae. (in my opinion) Hmm. McRae. "Ah, William Wallace is seven feet tall. I know! and if he were here, he'd consume the english with fire balls from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse!"
