The spiritual healing of PURE WINE Cave, sipping and jazz
Auto-TranslationOn Friday night, I walked into PURE WINE Cave, pushing open a door to a parallel world. I didn’t know the wine selection for tonight, but I was certain it would be meticulously chosen; I wasn’t aware of the jazz style this evening, but I knew it would surely bring comfort after a busy week.
At 6:30 PM on Friday, riding my Youbike along Songjiang Road, it was undoubtedly a busy peak time. Cars wedged halfway on the road had to back up in an effort to let the large crowd cross the zebra crossing. When chatting with friends about the Songjiang Nanjing MRT station, I would often get responses like, "That's the yolk area of Taipei, the very center of the city." For someone like me, who has moved to the city, I can't quite differentiate between the yolk and the egg white, and I feel that the entire city is bustling, creating the illusion that anywhere could be considered the city center. However, whenever the topic comes up, I always recommend a place with a great atmosphere for spiritual healing—Pure wine-La petite cave à vin (hereafter referred to as PURE WINE Cave).
I returned the Youbike near exit 8 of Songjiang Nanjing, as I simply couldn't get past the crowd outside. People were off work, and the noisy atmosphere seemed to say, "Friday is just beginning now." Turning into Alley 140, at the end lies Jiang Park. The alley felt like an entrance to a parallel universe, where the cacophony diminished several decibels. As I slowly approached the nearby park with its orange streetlights, for a brief moment, I also felt that my Friday was just beginning.
PUR WINE Cave, located beside the park and residential area, has the appearance of a European-style country tavern. The warm yellow lights cast on the light-colored walls and the slightly golden sign are particularly eye-catching at night.
