Visiting winegrower hosting the tasting (male, 50’s): Just swirl your glass around a bit to let out the bouquet. That’s it, now smell that lovely aroma of apple with overtones of vanilla. Isn’t it refreshing?
Woman, way past her bedtime (85+): (In clear, carrying voice) Apple? Has this stuff got apple in it?
Visiting winegrower.. etc: (slightly nonplussed) Oh No, it’s just a suggestion in the bouquet, a way of distinguishing it…
Woman (85+): Yes well, I mean to say....
PS: Personally overheard by Lonicera...to which I would also add that the venue’s (charming) cuckoo clock chose this exact moment to chime, and the cuckoo shuttled noisily in and out of its cubbyhole 8 times while this exchange was taking place. There wasn’t a dry eye at the table that had witnessed both these events.
