The salty cured meat was counterbalanced by every other ingredient of the sandwich. Some crunchy greens, some sweet tomatoes, and a rich cheese upon a sourdough.

I could smell the fumes of alcohol a few seconds before I opened my mouth. The wine was a bit stronger than I expected, a bit more bitter. But it was still far smoother than the wine at any other establishment. It was still far smoother than any wine I could afford.
