Miles : Let me show you how this is done. First
thing -- hold the glass
up and examine the wine against the light.
You're looking for color and clarity. Just get a
sense of it. Okay ?
Jack : Okay.
Miles : Thick ? Thin ? Watery ? Syrupy ? Okay ?
Jack : Okay.
Miles : Now tip it. What
you're doing here is checking for color density as
it thins out towards the rim. That's
gonna tell you how old it is, among other things.
It's usually more important with reds. Okay?
Jack : Okay.
Miles : Now stick your nose in it.
Jack : Yeah?
Miles : Don't be shy. Really get your nose right in
there. Really -- Mmm. A little citrus. Maybe some
strawberry. Mmm. Passion fruit. Mmm. And -- Ah,
there's just, like, the faintest
soupcon of like,
uh, asparagus and -- There's a --just a flutter of,
like, a -- like, a nutty Edam cheese.
Jack : Wow. Strawberries. Yeah.
Miles : Good.
Jack : Strawberries.
Miles : Yeah.
Jack : Not the cheese.
Miles : All right. Put your glass down. Get some, get
some air into it. Oxygenating it opens it up. It
unlocks the aromas, the flavors. Very important.
Smell again. Ah. That's what you do with every one
of 'em.
Jack : Wow. When do we drink it ?
Miles : Now.
Jack : How would you rate this one, Miles ?
Miles : Well, usually
they start you on wines with learning disabilities
but this one is pretty damn good. This is the new
one. Right, Chris ?
Chris : Just released about two months ago.
Miles : Nice job. We like it.
Jack : You could work in a wine store, Miles.
Miles : Mmm. Yeah. That'd
be a good move. Are you chewing gum ?
Jack : Do you think I'm making a mistake marrying
Christine ?
Miles : Whoa!
Jack : Do you think I'm doing the right thing, Miles?
Tell me the truth. I mean, you've been there.
Miles : Well, you know, I-- I think that you waited
for some good reason and that you proposed to
Christine for some good reason so I think it's
great. It's time. I mean, you gotta have your eyes
open, that's all. I mean, look at me.
I thought Victoria and I were
set for life.
Jack : Christine's dad, he's really been talking to
me about bringing me into his property business,
showing me the ropes.
Which is something,
considering how long it took him to
get over my not
being Armenian. So I'm thinking about it. But I
don't know. Might get a little incestuous. But Mike
does great. A lot of
high-end commercial stuff.
Miles : So you're gonna stop acting ?
Jack : No way! No. This would just provide some
stability. I could always squeeze in a commercial or
an audition here, there. Keep myself in the game in
case something really great came along. You know,
we're not getting any younger, Miles.
Miles : No. No. |
