Down here, “Napa” is something an Italian does when he’s sleepy
I was working in Cartersville, GA last week, about 40 miles northwest of Atlanta. The unedited and unposed photo at right (okay, I pushed the napkin down a bit so you could read the “Budweiser” logo) is the result of a couple of my co-workers ordering a bottle of white zinfandel at the Holiday Inn’s restaurant and lounge. Even considering that Anheuser Busch has a large plant in the area, this presentation is pretty tacky, even if it IS white zinfandel. Besides the cork being prised right through the lead bottle covering, there is a price tag on the bottle that says “$8.99″, as if, on receiving my pals’ order at the bar, they sent someone across the street to a mini-mart to score the bottle. When the bill came, they charged $12.50 for it.
