Scarpetta Frico Rosso 2016

2018-06-12 Scarpetta Frico Rosso   2016.jpg

I brought home 26 bottles
OF VARIOUS WINE
from Lukas recently.

This was the “I can’t
wait to try” one.

And not because it was
probably the least
expensive one I bought.

It was Zach’s description.

Another direct hit.

Although this is a blend
of Sangiovese, Cab Sav,
and Merlot, it is still
light enough to stay
in my bull eye.

I’m not positive about
the grape blend but you
get the idea.

Light, yet busting with
flavor, and with just a
hint of oak.

I’m in between garlic/peppercorn
cheese with crackers, and
Szgediner Pork Goulash
(from Andre’s)
with polenta.

The wine is REALLY TART.

Just delicious.

Apparently, you don’t
HAVE TO club CS and Merlot
to death to make good wine.

And you don’t have to
break the bank to get
a perfectly fine wine.

It came to pass that,
in the era of grape
variety and viticulture
proliferation, the earthbound
inhabitants found
sustenance in the form
of fermented juice in the
all corners of the planet.

Those that chose to eschew
this largess escaped to Mars.

God turned THAT planet into dust.

Someday He will restore
Mars like he did Earth.

Then we can have the
best of BOTH worlds.

It is interesting to
consider that two
thousand years ago you
could prove that you
are GOD by making
“the best” wine.

Some things ever change.

As long as the wine
is palatable…

Day Two…

I’m having the leftovers
after eating a BLT
for brunch.

Just a gorgeous, tart
fruit bomb.

I’ll shut up because
I don’t want to go…

Are those sugar crystals
in the bottom of my glass?

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
