I haven't been there for a long time and I'd like to go back there occasionally.

It's just not worth it, though.

It's just, well, I mean, I'll just be like, and also you can't actually, certainly with the red wine, I can't actually physically drink it, you know, the way it gets stuck here somewhere.
