p 22wehcender sawrqwit2arymw98af smxi getting over a vintage gaff cures what ales you i still cringe when i think of that night some 15 or so years back sitting around my dear friends dining room table i was surrounded by a gaggle of selfaggrandizing wine experts aka wine snobs hopelessly out of my depth i was just looking to survive the night without spilling red wine down the front of my shirt 1 was trying to act as if i stouffville sales barn general merchandise furniture antiques auction sale first tuesday evening of every month at 7 pm in auditorium next auction tuesday february 3

it was sampled then it happened whilst the others sat there admiring a red wine which had apparently achieved sainthood sta tus by virtue of its having aged so long in its snooty owners wine cellar i reached over and somewhat indelicate ly picked up the bottle to study it clos er acting as if i knew exactly what i was looking for the gathering let out with a sudden and collective gasp akin to what one might expect if some unknowing rube were to use a stradi- varius violin as a step stool sheepish ly i slowly lowered the vessel back to from where i live bruce stapley its place of reverence in midtable i was then forced to endure the drawn out explanation of why you never never disturb an aged vintage wine and how the person who had brought it with him had avoided all stop signs sharp turns and speed bumps while transporting it earlier that evening humbled i sat chastened feeling every bit the class clown assigned to the corner complete with dunce cap but somehow through the years i the

to be thrown to the wolves that night in fact i can now admit to a certain snobbish ness myself not in terms of wine appreciation but rather the ales of the world not a habitual beer drinker i pick my spots avoiding both the mass produced brands and the excesses of some for whom quaffing the suds is a way of life just before christmas i ventured to our local lcbo and dis covered to my delight a most appeal ing middark english brew bearing a label which read samuel smiths win ter welcome ale claiming to have been bottled at the old brewery at tadcaster yorkshires oldest brewery established in 1758 the label also included a quote of classic beer cheer from none other than william shake speare himself blessing of your heart you brew good ale the bard pro claimed 1 purchased a 550 millilitre bottle and proceeded to consume it on christmas eve with the same friend of the disastrous wine tasting experience of long ago it was as fine an ale as we had ever tasted we both agreed returning to the lcbo to purchase a few more bottles to have on hand for upcoming special occasions i was informed that alas it was a limited import and had run out but the kind ly gentleman offered to contact other area outlets on the off chance there might still be any to be found eureka sure enough he managed to track down a dozen bottles and was having them held for me and now here i sit on a cache of some of the finest ale england has ever produced keeping cool within the confines of my basement as the dregs of whatever else was left of this one shot shipment get drained across the province i can wax smug knowing that i am in possession of what may well be the only bottles of samuel smiths winter welcome ale in all of ontario and with the snapping open of each bottle cap 1 will be that much closer to burying once and for all the ghosts of my grievous gaffe in the presence of those insufferable wine snobs back in the early 1980s treasures historic unionville j v prespring total inventory
