i went looking for a bloc 1920, none to be found hereabouts. what i did find
tho was a red de bortoli's botrytis i shall surely savour at the opportune
time. but not with tonight's pumpkin soup and peppered steak a la vegies
overdone.

yeah...tannins and dryness are crucial to my enjoyment of wine....I like the
tannins silky smooth and with little "pucker" power..yet still *full*
bodied.

That seems to be Shiraz to me...or Syrah, if you are in California or Italy
or France or whatever...same grape.

Yeah...good point. Plus, the merlots are a little too perfumey for me, it
seems.

Oh..I hate "sour cherry" aromas in my wine too...some seems to think its
okay, but it turns my nose badly.

Yup.....depends on the winery, it seems, as well.

Fruit is good obviously...but not so much its "perfumey".

For whites, I like a *really good* Pinot Grigio....simple, yet elegant.

Its HARD to find a good one, though.

French wines do *nothing* for me..,it s weird.

I usually skip *all* champagnes, to tell you the truth.

Good to see you have a healthy palate!

Whats your fave shiraz, by the way?

And you are in Australia, correct?

on my 30th the bar maid got me so smashed on booker's. we were there for an
hour of 'staffies' and finished the bottle. i ended up going home with her,
i was neither of use nor ornament, i must say.
