The Bubbly Virgin

New Year’s Eve, Franco and me sitting at the Old York bar while Graham the bartender has me serving champers…

Graham: “Get a good grip. That’s it.”

Me: “Like this?”

“Yeah. Now move it gently. Gently! That’s it. Keep going, pull it slowly.”

“I hope I’m doing this right.”

“Mmm, that’s nice, you got it. Yes. It’s coming. The trick is not to make a sound…”

*pop*

“Yes…yes!”

“Oh, it’s frothing!”
