big big french drama

today we had a mission together with my dad: go down to the cave, arrange the mess of boxes a bit and try to put a hand on some old pics. We decided to get rid of an empty cardboard box that i took out from a shelve and handed to my dad who slightly pushed it towards the wine shelf.And then in 10 seconds time, the shelf collapse and the whole cellar fell down in a terrible sound of shattered glass and the voice of my sorry dad almost crying....
16 bottles of good Chinon just disappeared in front of our eyes and we couldn't do nothing....
fortunately the magnum of Champagne millésimé and the bottle of Chaumes Arnaud 1997 stayed intact!
we spent one hour cleaning the cave , getting rid of the pieces of glass and evacuating rivers and rivers of red wine ...
it was kind of sad but afterwards we just submited to our fate and went back to the appartment to clean our stained clothes.
then we went out to a café to get a drink after this long day , i ordered a glass of sancerre that two minutes after i shattered on the ground in front of everyone....pppffff....
