Chateau Bianca Pinot Noir (4)

Friday, July 6, 2012

In the Chateau Bianca, there are no phones, but if you whisper a question into your pillow in a hushed tone, you are guaranteed to get the response you would like. As long as every question you whisper is, “can you make my face a little warmer?”

And in the Chateau Bianca, there are no panes on the windows, but if you hang red satin sheets over them there’s a pretty good chance that no crows will fly in and disturb your sleep. And an even better chance if you sleep heavily enough not to hear crows tearing through your belongings.

And in the Chateau Bianca, water does not run through the pipes. Instead the sinks and bath tubs flow over with 2007 Cellar Select Pinot Noir – its flavors of raspberry, cranberry, red cherry, and blueberry charming even the most crow-harassed and sweaty-faced guests.

These are the reasons that there is never a vacancy at the Chateau Bianca. Well, mostly it’s the last one.
