Weekend wines

I had the pleasure of trying two new wines this weekend: Yellow Tail chardonnay (2005) that was wonderfully buttery and thick, as well as Little Penguin shiraz (which was nice and yeasty).

I also made the mistake of buying a bottle of Jackson Trigg’s chardonnay, which was awful: best described as watery and flavourless. I can see it working well at the end of an evening, when the company of one’s fellow drinkers is more important than flavour, but for sipping? Avoid this wine.

    Since when did you start acting all cultured and such? Is this the same person who wore bags on his feet in University?

    The bags were a statement about poverty in our society, and our urgent need to address such global issues as climate change, the plight of displaced peoples, etc. etc.

    And besides, liking wine has nothing to do with cultural sophistication. I’m living proof of that.
