Broughton Street A-boards are rarely backward in coming forward when it comes to singing the praises of the goods inside. But the one outside Villeneuve Wines today has introduced an element of doubt.
Are we to take the pithy and elegant descriptions below as tasting notes for the wine within, or as character references for the shop's members of staff?
Villeneuve manager Pam invites you to go in and decide for yourself.
- 'Elegant nose with a long, satisfying finish.'
- 'Wave after wave of buttery spice.'
- 'Sprightly and gay with a fruity character.'
- 'Vigorous, well constructed, even a little bosomy.'
- 'Plummy with thrusting overtones.'
- 'An explosion of blackberries and cranberry zing.'
