Notes on wines I didn't drink

[Florida Jim]

The flu has come calling on your humble scribe (and nothing delivers humility quite like the flu) so I relay brief notes on two wines. These are the descriptors Diane used (just the thought of me imbibing sent me running . . .):

2001 Dom. Montaude, Minervois:

“Smells great, really good with grilled chicken, I’d like some more, please.”

Considering its $8 price tag, when I recover I may take to wearing this as cologne.

2001 Bruno Giacosa, Nebbiolo D’Alba:

“This wine smells even better than the Minervois, very good with pasta, ‘sure you don’t want to try a sip? (I was very sure), one more glass should do me.”

At $23, I think we’ll continue to treat this as a beverage but I can live with that.

There you have it; a woman who knows what she likes.

Maybe a glass this evening . . .

Best, Jim

There is nothing different about writing about wines you have never drank. It goes with the long popular habit some have of posting opinions about restaurants they have never been to.
