A very nice gentleman recently asked me what I was doing for Open That Bottle Night this Saturday. Open That Bottle Night says me, what the hell is that? Feeling momentarily not quite at clever as
I fancy myself to be. He proceeds to tell me about this insanely cool, annual, worldwide tradition that has been happening ever since the year 2000. On a particular Saturday night each February people all over the world -friends, couples, whoever really, gather to open, enjoy and tell the stories behind very special bottles of wine, champagne and spirits. This of course is subjective and could mean a bottle that commemorates an anniversary or a special date, or a bottle that you may have been saving for a special occasion but that you can’t quite seem to put your finger on. Well my sistas, my brothas its time to cowboy up, quit your whining, turn those frowns upside down, time to shit of get off the pot as the saying goes, because Open That Bottle Night, or OTBN, is the special occasion you have been waiting for. This Saturday night is the night when all bets are off and you, along with peeps everywhere, will be ripping corks out of those super, duper, cherished bottles that you all know you have been dreaming and drooling about all of these years, and you are will thoroughly enjoy every sip dammit! It doesn’t matter if its not a 1964 Chateau Mouton Rothschild that’s been laying under your bed for the last ten years, a bottle of Giorgio Rivetti’s very best juice, or even a frickin bottle of Boon’s Farm Strawberry Hi
ll, mmmmmmm, Boon’s Farm…because it’s not the level of fancy pants that counts, it’s the memories, it’s the company, it’s the night. On this night I will be raising a glass, of something stunning I’m certain, to all of you and wishing you well. Salute!
