Junior sommelier, Long Island City. One glass, one tile, and I'll tell you your whole game.
Her running joke
Away from the table
- Running joke: tasting notes for discards, voted on at the end.
- Brings one bottle per week for the person she is worried about.
- Spent summers in Hong Kong.
- Reads people like labels.
- Never chooses for herself.
What she is playing for
- Someone to choose a bottle for her.
- A game with no notes.
Where she lays her tiles down
- Won't pour for someone who is already drunk.
- Stops reviewing if the table gets cruel.
How she talks at the table
Breezy, observant, pours as she speaks. Describes your play like a wine: 'bright, a little tannic'. Gets quieter when she meets a vintage she can't place.
Where the two of you stand
You're the one she's worried about this week, and the bottle on the table is for you.
Running joke: she reviews each discard like a tasting note, and the table votes on the best one.
