For all the same reasons, picked it up, and it was VERY enjoyable.<br /><br />Best wine advise I ever received: Buy french, as they will never send over a truly inferior product.

I couldn't have bought a bad glass if I had tried!<br /><br />I always thought Australian wine had an excellent price to value ratio.

(Though I was amazed when my wealthy oenophile uncle was unsatisfied with a perfectly nice bottle of red and replaced it with something even better. There is something to be said for experience and knowledge.)Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-13893246098906359982010-12-17T23:08:53.538-08:002010-12-17T23:08:53.538-08:00A tavola non deve mai mancare un vino.

Cheese suffers from the same stigma. It's too bad, because it puts a lot of people off who might otherwise really come to enjoy a great wine. I always try to put things in a tone most people can understand. Thanks for hearing me that way.<br /><br />There's really only one hard and fast rule in enjoying wine: drink what you like. Remember, it's all just spoiled juice and rotten milk anyway.Giuseppehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582043853388196139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-86411396651033212682010-12-16T22:06:57.435-08:002010-12-16T22:06:57.435-08:00As much as I enjoy a good red, I'm just an ign...As much as I enjoy a good red, I'm just an ignorant rube when it comes to understanding what any oenophile is saying when he talks about wine. All I hear is something like this: <br /><br />"Pungently assertive, like a hobnailed boot to the gonads, the thick, heady yet beady mouth is redolent with burnt peanut butter, velvety corn chips, and chocolatey bubble gum, with overtones of herbal toe fungus, bass notes of moldering gym shoes, and a prepubescent driftwood nose."<br /><br />OK, so I'm making fun of pretentious wine writing as well as myself, but what G wrote is actually as intelligible as anything I've ever read about wine, meaning he writes well enough to actually get through to a lunkhead like me.<br /><br />More wine posts, please--I need the education!Young Fogeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081206974005845104.post-68187390092500814242010-12-16T21:03:04.493-08:002010-12-16T21:03:04.493-08:00Yes, there is.

But this post brings back some fantastic memories of the first thing I ever learned about wine my freshman year of college when a friend bought a case of 2000 bordeaux because "it's an awesome year." and we ran around the dorm yelling in french past a tour. I'll forever associate 2000 bordeaux with the awkward looks of the tour guide and some very unhappy parents. Thanks for the memories.
