A HOLIDAY STORY
In The Spirit
Anybody that knows the behind-the-scenes of the great Oz known as EATERAZ, knows that it’s run by two infamous gents—Rick Phillips and David Tyda. While Phillips is mad about the Menorah, Tyda spends his time celebrating Christmas with the fam back in Chicago. He encountered something strange upon walking into his parents’ house yesterday—a bottle of Beaujolais Nouveau. Yep, we said, Beaujolais Nouveau. See, Tyda’s mom is always chatting up the wine aisle guy for funky wines few people know about. She’s always up for a bottle of adventure. So Beaujolais?! Come’on Mrs. Tyda, are you feeling okay?
“Well, I’ve discovered that I have a lot of friends who drink a lot. And by a lot, I mean I think they’re alcoholics. So really, who cares what kind of wine I give ‘em? This crappy Beaujolais is just fine. I’ve learned to keep a couple bottles on hand for impromptu stop-by’s and last-minute gifts. And don’t worry, son, we’re drinking Spottswoode Cab tonight.”
Moral of the story: Mom always knows best. And by “best”, we mean wine.
