12th wine
Glory and defeat, that’s in the results. But the thrill is in the hangtime.
It’s the anticipation that makes the game, otherwise we’d just look at the scores in the paper the next day. What the fans want is the feeling of watching their guy leap off the boards, the feeling of a perfect spiral approaching the end zone, the feeling of that baseball starting a downward drop that might, just might, end up in the bleachers. That’s what people want. Not just a victory. A clear and magical moment to drive the point home.
Of course, there’s no real way to pack that rush into a simple glass of wine. But the Hangtime Chardonny and Pinot Noir Case does come as close as wine possibly can. These grapes have spent extra days on the vine - HENCE THE NAME - to ensure the best possible flavor, acidity, balance and interpersonal skills.
If you only cared about the final result, you’d be shooting back a cheap whisky. What you want is the ride, the dark worry that you’re witnessing a mistake dissolving into the glory from seeing a one-in-a-lifetime event. That feeling is like a fine wine, to be savored and not wasted. And the Hangtime Chard & Pinot Noir case is a championship’s worth.
