Sam Visits a New Winery

VERN:
Where the hell were you last night?

SAM:
Portia and I went to the new winery for a tasting and we stopped in town for dinner.

VERN:
What new winery?

SAM:
The one in Egypt Valley.

NANNY:
Why didn't you bring Portia here for dinner?

HOOT:
Wait, wait, there's an Egypt Valley around here?

SAM:
It was too late to come here for dinner and Egypt Valley is near the interstate, not really nearby.

NANNY:
I like Portia, it would be nice if you invited her to come here more often.

VERN:
How was the wine?

SAM:
Part of their vineyard is unusually located, the soils and rapid run-off of precipitation create favorable conditions for some of the hardy disease resistant French-American varieties that produce wines similar to those of the older European vinifera varieties.

VERN:
What did he say?

NANNY:
He said he liked the wine. Weren't you listening?

SAM:
I'll invite Portia for dinner, I think Hoot would like her.

HOOT:
I don't believe it, we really do live beyond friggin Egypt.
