Later in the Gibson article, someone is drinking out of a coupe glass. I had just read earlier in the issue about bubbly served in flutes or coupe glasses. The writer complained that the former "bottles up" the wine too much while the coupe makes it go flat. Is our magazine playing with us? Will there be a test?
Anybody know the origin story of the coupe glass?

I've only been able to come up with captions for the cartoons on the last page of each issue a handful of times. This time, I finally did come up with a caption I thought was halfway funny, but of course the deadline had passed. So, I'll post it here:
Caption: “As one of the knights of Delorean, I must vanquish foreign invaders and return them to their own time.”

Maybe it would be better if the caption said “As one of the knights of Delorean, I must vanquish foreign invaders and return them back to the future.”

As a reformed gin drinker I was charmed by Anthony Lane's article about that alcoholic beverage in the Dec. 9 issue.

I've just recently started to find gin drinkable. In the tastings that regional distilleries do at my local liquor store, I've noticed they're coming out with all sorts of nuanced complex flavors now -- not so junipery..
But as I've told the people at the tastings, I couldn't drink gin for years because when I was a teenager that's what my parents kept in their (unlocked) liquor cabinet. :laugh:
