so i went to a "natural wine"* bar near my place to start off the my birthday night out, since i was turning 27 and being sort of an adult now i should do something more classy than drinking in the streets like a bum.we went in and ordered the cheapest bottle. at this place where everyone took wine so seriously, my friend pointed to it and said "i would like that flower bottle please". the waiter warned us that it has a slight bubble, we said it was fine. then he opened it at the table and i swear, guys, i swear, that it smelled like shit. like fertilizer. it smelled overwhelmingly of shit, or, if you prefer, it had a noticeable "fecal note" to it. it was so intense it practically jumped out of the glass. you'd think the waiter would warn us about that. reminded me of that HIMYM episode where Robin is about to meet Barney's brother and Ted warns her that he's gay, and then it turns out that he's also black.*while legally it is still sort of poorly defined, think zero intervention in the vineyard and in the winery - no filtration, no oak, no sulfites and whatever.
