The word bovine has appeared in 34 New York Instances articles in the previous yr, such as on April three in “Carolina’s Expansive Wine List” by Eric Asimov:
Mr. Sherr and two partners found ample of these wines available here that they opened Cave Taureau in downtown Durham last fall, a small shop with a deliciously recondite variety that would be appropriate at house in Brooklyn or San Francisco….
They are all appropriate there on the polished wood shelves between the horns, skulls and other bovine paraphernalia inspired (like the store’s identify, Taureau, French for bull) by Durham’s endearing moniker: the Bull City. And so far, sales are brisk.
