Food Frames: Take 21

The French just always seem to have it right. While perusing the aisles of a grocery store in the South of France, I came upon this "brand" of wines. As we all know, there are high brow and low brow wines but there are also circumstantial wines and those that are context specific. Hence, the pool wine. This is the type that one drinks when slightly sunstroked, a little greasy from suntan lotion, and in the midst of a heavy gossip session. There is zero pretension to this situation and thus should be none with regards to the wine. And the French have made the task of selecting such a product easy, by naming it so - Piscine. It comes in red, white, and rosé. So to all those who bemoan "wine snobbery", I say, if the French can be so practical and obvious, then perhaps that paradigm is slowly going extinct, and we should all raise a plastic cup to that.

But whatever, ok, and then she said what?
