The bodega (yeah, I said bodega) across the street from the Petworth metro has Ethiopian Wine for sale. Has anyone bought some? I’m definitely going to check it out. So for a bonus point in what modern day country was wine first made? The answer to that question is one of the few remaining details I can recall from college wine tasting class. God bless Miami University, Ohio for offering that course!
Hold on I have to stop laughing for a second. Ok, this is a photo from my local bodega in Petworth (from the cell phone, c’mon I can’t always have my camera on me). At any rate, I was stunned and overjoyed to see that they were selling the traditional kosher wine Manischewitz. Manischewitz is the sickly sweet wine that every Jewish boy and girl knows all too well. Why it is being sold in Petworth that probably has a .05% Jewish population is beyond me. But the mere thought of someone slugging Manischewitz on the side of the road is simply beautiful. And a bit sad. I think this may be the only bottle of Manischewitz in the world that is located behind two inches of bulletproof glass…Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some Manischewitz to drink.
