Cocktail Test

Writes Chris Clark:

Thanks for posting this—it was a perfect way to start a Friday morning, and yet one more example of why your site is so great.You know you’re old when you can answer all the questions (except the last one) without ever having laid eyes on the show!

One quibble with the author, though: that she’d pair Chablis but not Chardonnay with oysters shows she must have acquired her wine knowledge from the Food Network, since the Chablis district is almost entirely planted in Chardonnay (for true period authenticity, she should learn that it wasn’t common for wines to be marketed under their varietal name in the 1960s). And while some sherries can pair with oysters, I’d no more serve an oloroso than a Kendall-Jackson with them!
