FOAK: Wine

I don't often disagree with your taste in wine but I prefer white burgundy,
especially if it is something decent from Meursault

 

We had a team night out a few weeks ago with a wine tasting contest
(match the wines to the labels). If not for the gaffer deliberately
putting in a joker that was more Rioja than a Rioja I'd have for full
marks.

Terroir matters. Like, for example, if it's from Germany, it'll taste
like sugary sick. Bit of a giveaway, that.

 

Blue Nun is *back*!

I saw it in Tesco's today - and not only....not only... Black Tower!
It's like the '80s never happened.

My ex used to like Piesporter[1] (see my other post about women's piss
tasting like the wine they drink).


[1] more than obviously she had no taste.

 

And your point is?

 

which is a fairly accurate review, as IMO, Sauvignon Blanc smells of
socks.

 

Why, is the Blue Nun bottle pre-lubed?

 

I thought oaked chardonnay had gone out of fashion.
Any recommendations?

 

I haven't actually had Rioja in ages - generally for red wine I'm a
Merlot fan[1].

[1] don't quote that movie again.

 

What are you, some kind of poof?

 

Limpcore?
Floppycore?
Splintcore?

 

He wants wine, you fool, not ham.

Black Tower, maybe?

 

You've got all of the Davy's[1] for a start.

[1] there was even a ukrm drinks evening in Davy's FOB branch.

 

you have no taste.

 

"I'll just have tonic water as the antibiotics I'm taking to try and
shift this galloping knob rot don't mix with alcohol. What would you
like, my dear?"

 

From the sommelier

 

P.J.O'Rourke:

the rule about not mixing red wine with fish is not a question of
taste; it's so your puke doesn't clash.

 

back to the celery.

 

Ah, now there's an idea. If Blue Nun and Black Tower are off the menu, a
bottle of Le Piat d'Or should snap knicker elastic at 50 paces. Or a
cheeky little Mateus rosé.

 

Quite.

At the wine tasting evening I mentioned earlier, the gaffer was quite
entertained by my, er, robust descriptions but had to concede I was
pretty much spot on.

 

She fucking will not. They never do.



What? <looks round>







Oh.
