Take 2: Raninonadatetograbsomethingitwasaweekendeveryonewasnice. Two different guys working.

Take 3: Different people working again, a dark-haired woman and a curly-haired man. He might’ve been the guy from the first time; curse my lousy memory for faces. The owners?

She: Let me know if you need help finding anything.

Me: Thanks. Mind if I put these down here?

She: Sure.

Me: I’m looking forward to this Cab Franc (Chateau de la Roulerie, 2008, $13).

She: That’ll be $xx.

Me: Say, do you carry any of Jenny & Francois’ stuff?

She: Maybe. Sometimes. If it’s out there. It kind of depends what’s tasting.

(beat.)

Me: Cool. Thanks.

Hypotheses:

1. They’re wine people, after all. They may need a couple of glasses to warm up to anyone.

2. Was the guy from the first time looking at me funny cause he actually goes to my local dog park? Curse my lousy memory for faces.
