Setting: Express checkout lane, Safeway.
Woman at register [eyeing my bottle of 2006 Coppola Pinot Noir]: Now, sir, are you buying that because you like drinking it, or just to taste it?
Me: I’ve never had it.
Woman: How do you pronounce that? Cop-PO-la?
Me: Well, he pronounces it COP-pola, but back in Italy they probably pronounce it Cop-PO-la.
Woman [smiles]: That’s what I said! So why this bottle?
Me: Oh, me and a couple of friends of mine are watching a movie about him tomorrow night.
Woman: About his wine?
Me: No, about a movie he made.
Woman: He’s a winemaker and a director??
Me: Yup.
Woman [shakes her head]: Man. Sounds like someone oughta make up his mind.
