Based on a Recent Jersey City Super Buy-Rite Experience and Inspired by a NYT’s Article, How to Buy Wine: Five Questions to Ask
A Jersey City Buy-Rite delivery guy about 60 minutes ago rang my apartment doorbell chimes to deliver a bottle of an inexpensive California Zinfandel and a Clos du Bois — Lightly Bubbled Chardonnay NV.
I had wanted a decent Portuguese Dao, Douro and Alentejo (I played b-ball in Portugal a long time ago, based in Lisbon with the Sporting Club of Portugal, and got hooked on Dao, Douro and Alentejo, which aren’t that easy to find in Jersey so I had to settle). The driver looked at the two bottles in the box he had with him and said, “You’re going to need more.”
The following is a good paraphrase of what else he also said. I use quote marks for affect: “Coronavirus is coming and soon you really aren’t going to be going outside or opening your door to strangers like me.”
So, I’m wondering just how many of us are going to be depending on Grubhud, Seamless and Buy-Rite Delivery and others to deal with the coming apocalypse that the Center for Disease Control and others insist is on its way.
