Well, I seem to have neglected my duty, and now I seem to be forgetting what I should have taken good notes on.
In summary, the J Pinot Noir was disappointing. When I pay that much for a wine, I expect it to thrill. However, it was clear from the first taste that this was not a wine to chug, but one to squirrel away and have next Christmas, or the one after that. Shame.
The Sauvignon, on the other hand, was thrilling. Anise. Lots and lots of anise. This was very very weird. But fascinating. It was fruity, too, but it was unrecognizable, like strange tropical berries and currants, but not quite. I did not know a sauvignon could be that interesting.
I need to make sure to tell the folks at the T.C. about it, and give them my compliments on their assistance in picking.
I don't know much about good wines. I really love to get them on special occations. Lately my family has asked me to not pick out the wines! So, please advise me on the wines I should get such as, on Christmas, champain on new years and other wines for other occations. You know Easter well you get the point. I bought some red wine for ThanksGiving I couldn't tell you the name but it smelt spoiled and nobody drank my wine once again. So, please again I ask advise.
Thank you in advance.
"Don't buy the wine, Joe!"
