Bottle, bottle, who's got the bottle?


When we were little, my "Grandmommie" (Ruth M. O'Kelly Clary) would play a game with all of us Clary grandkids. We would sit in her living room, lined up on the leather couches with our hands clasped as if in prayer. She held her hands in the same way, hiding a small button between the two. As she walked past, she slipped her hands between our two and a lucky cousin would find themselves the fortunate recipient of the button. It was kept secret and necessitated a good poker face. Another cousin would then be chosen to say, Button, Button, who's got the Button? A guess was made, and the game went on. What fun memories.

What should the Vin de Noix bottle look like? It needs a good shoulder so that the sediment doesn't end up into your glass. It needs to be flint or antique green because the deep brown red of the Vin de Noix may surprise some in the clear one. I have time right now to do some internet searching. I wonder which one we should use? These are some to consider... bellisimo, delgada... Bottle, bottle, who's got the Bottle?
