The Utter Anxiety of Vino...

There is nothing quite like the anxiety that being sent to purchase wine ensues, it resembles the nervousness of a DVD rental (that is pre Netflix era), but there is nothing that tops off the nerves of an already axious individual like a good vino selection.The anxiety of grabbing a bottle of wine for Shabbat dinner exists tenfold when you live in NYC. You are either forced to pay through the nose for a bottle of Shiraz or forced into a wine store where the line for the register begins at the door and snooty New Yorkers, already beaming from their selection, stare at you uncomfortably while you first find your region, then your varietal and finally settle on the perfect vineyard (which half the time to a novice is chosen purely through the graphic design of the label).
