I’m 35 but my drinking habits are 87. Dare I say I have….wine fatigue? I’m sure that will change in a few hours, but sometimes I feel like I can’t drink another glass of “pet nat.” I love sherry, I love vermouth, I love white wine on ice, complete with cocktail onions just like my Grandma Prue used to drink. For vermouth, there are a lot of interesting small brands out there doing cool stuff with it, but I love this one from Partida Creus the most (anything they make is wonderful). I like it in a small glass with a large ice cube, topped with a lil soda water. For wines, I wouldn’t disrespect anything too expensive with an ice cube, but I do love a basic, straightforward white wine that could be described as “easy drinking” with “light acidity.” The cocktail onion makes it, trust me (and my grandma).

Sometimes I want a fun drink in nice stemware without the headache. Therefore, I’ve become a bit of a non-alcoholic wine connoisseur. Am I overpaying for fancy juice and tea? Yes! Am I going to keep doing exactly that? Absolutely!

🍷I like a chilled red but what I really enjoy is drinking dry red wines over ice –– preferably crushed ice. I know that’s against the rules or whatever but the first boy who broke my heart in New York was a sommelier at Le Bernardin and also that’s how Diane Keaton drinks her wine so I don’t give a fuck what anyone thinks.

🎤I’m coming to terms with the fact that I may never get black out drunk at Upstairs Bar and sing Careless Whisper ever again. But if you’re fully vaccinated and know other fully vaccinated people, karaoke can still happen. A version of it, anyway. I had my first small session for a friends birthday the other night using Karafun videos on Youtube (search your song + karaoke) and some shitty but functional bluetooth microphone and it was honestly better than sex.

📺Have you heard of it? Just kidding, of course your mom has. Anyway, because I am always relevant, I just began watching this iconic series mostly because I find myself missing New York so much (even though I never really lived in that New York. Everything is different! Everything is the same!). Most days, it’s all I think about. When will I be able to watch the next episode? Maybe I can fit one in in the middle of the day? Just one! They’re so short, you can have just a lil SATC, as a treat. I have a lot of thoughts on this show and the characters but my favorite thing is how terrible everyone is. Just like all of us!

📙I read this book last summer and am re-reading it now because it’s so good. One of those “tell everyone you know to read it” books. She’s a poet turned essayist and she’s just got such a gift for articulating pain and humor and trauma and things that should be boring but aren’t. This collection is funny, it’s heartbreaking, it’s honest, it’s vulnerable. She’s the kind of writer most people wish they were (myself included).
