[ Woman ] Excuse me.
:12:14
I see you're looking
at the wine list.
:12:17
- Yes, I am.
- May I perhaps suggest a wine?
:12:21
That would be nice.
:12:23
May I sit down, please?
:12:25
Yes. Please do.
:12:29
What wine do you
feel like drinking?
:12:32
I'm not sure. I, uh--
:12:35
Um,just a good wine.
:12:37
What wine do you prefer?
Red wine? White? French? German?
:12:42
I don't know. What's good
for this time of the day?
:12:45
That would depend on what
you're thinking of eating.
:12:51
Well, frankly, I-- I, um...
:12:54
hadn't quite made a decision
as to my meal.
:12:57
- Is wine that important?
- Very important.
:13:01
Do you prefer young wine
or one slightly older?
:13:04
Oh, slightly-- slightly older.
:13:06
Mm. As a general rule,
the older wines are better.
:13:10
It takes time for the elements
in wine to resolve themselves...
:13:13
into an harmonious whole.
:13:15
It takes time and oxygen.
:13:19
- Are you serious?
- Deadly serious.
:13:23
Wine is not
a disembodied essence.
:13:26
It is the product of skill,
knowledge and, in many cases, love.
:13:32
Are you a--
a wine salesperson?
:13:35
No. I am an ordinary person...
:13:37
living quietly on
the generous endowment...
:13:39
left me by my dear
departed husband.
:13:42
- Oh, that's wonderful.
- Thank you.
:13:44
- You certainly know
a lot about wines.
- You're American.
:13:47
- Yes.
- Americans hold
many myths about wine.
:13:51
You are all interested in fitness,
in general health.
:13:54
You think wine is bad
for your liver and your heart.
:13:57
This is completely not true.
