PE 3/26 A Wine Tour in Chile

Oooh! They’re pouring a pinot noir over here! My favorite! Let’s try some, Bea.
 * pinot noir: 피노 누아 (와인 만드는 포도 품종)

Twist my arm. I've read that the French may have brought that variety here from Burgundy in the 1800’s. Mmm. Oh, that’s lovely, isn't it? Lots of black cherry and plum.
* twist my arm: the suggestion is welcome
ex> You want me to try your fresh baked cookies? Twist my arm.

I’ll drink to that. The earthquake certainly must have been a setback, but the Chilean wine industry seems to be on its feet again.
* drink to that: to agree with a recent statement or idea
ex> Headquarters wants to give us more holidays, and I’m sure we can all drink to that.
* set back: a stoppage or reversal of earlier progress
= upset; stumbling block; misfortune
ex> The fire was only a minor setback for the family, whose friends offered much assistance.
* on one’s feet again: healthy or functioning after an illness or interruption
ex> I heard that your uncle is already back on his feet again after his knee surgery.

Fifst!!! Hee-hee! I think we may be getting a bit tipsy.
* tipsy: slightly drunk
ex> I asked the cab driver to pull over and let me out when I noticed he was tipsy.
