"Wine buffs write and talk as though the food and wine will be in your mouth at the same time, that one is there to be poured over the other. This is bullshit. Gustatory enjoyment comes from food and wine and cigars of your liking." ~ Clement Freud Just this past April, it was the celebration of Malbec grape. Many folks are not familiar with the grape, other than they know they like it, and they see much of imported from Argentina.

It has been said that; "The only difference between reality and fiction is that fiction needs to be credible.” ~Mark Twain Well, I couldn't agree more with that statement. But one of the funny things I observe, if that if you go to any tasting event, you'll definitely find white wines tend to be the wine, which is left over at the end of the day.

“Once you have made up your mind, stick to it; there no longer any ‘if’ or ‘but’.” – Napoleon Bonaparte "droid you've been looking for." You had to be there for that to make sense. But now I know, after just a few days of conversation that I should have known, unlike Napoleon, not to roll into another relationship so quickly. Friends advised me to "slow my roll," but I didn't listen and like Mr. Bonaparte, I had my ass handed to me, once more. Yes, ouch, honesty sold here.

Stuart Pinot Noir: I acquired this bottle as a sample in 2013, it became lost in the cellar. But after moving up to Oregon, unpacking my wine collection, I spotted and was finally able to give it a swirl.

Paso Robles Uncorked: A Visit to L'Aventure "The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure." ~ Christopher McCandless From the deep recesses of the blog's archives comes this gem from ten years ago, reporting about one of my first adventures in wine country, Paso Robles, and L'Aventure specifically.

Tasting Through the Wines of Europe

Think of the nose as a trailer for a summer blockbuster, the coming attractions which woo and wow you. Once you see the movie, and the ending is satisfying, then you feel it was worth the price of admission, so it is with wine. The finish should be long and lasting and after the last drop of wine has departed from the glass, the aromas of what was once there linger like a sweet perfume. This is, in my opinion, is a 'balanced wine.' Wine tasting, like any other skill, is a learned behavior.

Just when you believe, you have planted the right varietal, and everything is going according to plan, you get the news that the varietal you've been growing, producing and marketing to the world as Merlot, is in fact not Merlot, it's Carmenere. Your stomach tightens at the news, egads, what to do now? You could tear out these vineyards, many years old now, mature vines at their peak, or you could possibly instead make onion rings out of the french fries you received in the takeout sack.

"Wine is the prism we look through to the past while enjoying the present." - @twomey Winemaker Erin Miller I being the contrarian that I'm known to be, I take significant exception to the wild-eyed assertions from the highly esteemed Mr. Asimov, with a fresh attack on the notion of tasting notes and wine reviews in general. Do I think he was speaking to me directly? Of course not, that would be quite silly. Further, it's highly unlikely he has any idea this counterpoint article exists.

If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don't actually live longer; it just seems longer. ~ Sir Clement Raphael Freud Now that said; when most vino-sapiens think about where the wine comes from, they are thinking about the French term terroir (tare-wahr). It's a term that describes the climate which the grapes grow and thrive in, plus the various soil and sub-soil types which are often ultimately (and I say hopefully) reflected in wine swirling about in your glass.
