Straight Shooter Pinot Noir 2016

2018-06-23 Straight Shooter PN   2016.jpg

Sometimes, there are days
when you NEED a drink
and the “notes” can just
WAIT.

Today isn’t one of those days.

Nevertheless, I (meaning
ME), decided to NOT take
notes RIGHT AWAY.

No first sip nonsense.

No aroma insanity.

No “mouth feel” superfluous
mumbo jumbo.

Then WHAT?

Just an “overall sensation”
after drinking HALF THE
FREAKING BOTTLE, and before
letting the world intrude.

GOOD.

GOOD WHAT? GOOD meaning
that it’s OK not to take
notes, or GOOD as an
indication that one might
like this wine?

YES.

Silliness Alert: The
author of this note has
ventured into a region
of silliness that 80%
of wine note authors
are unwilling to go.
Continued reading of

equally silly or more so..

Yes, this is the best
cinnamon PN that I can
REMEMBER drinking.

Have you (meaning ME
as I talk to myself)
ever had this one before?

I don’t remember.

Let’s consult the local
listings…

(Lemme say that there
is no FORMAL contraction
for “let me”, so I’m using
the US contraction
and hoping that you
and/or my imaginary
friends will join me as
I scan my old notes.)

Hmmm…

I HAVE HAD this one
before ON HALLOWEEN
and my prior notes were
“interesting” even to me,
AND even more so in hindsight.

Huh?

(I woke up this morning
with the overwhelming
urge to use a verb in the
present perfect tense.
I feel better now.)

Old note here.

Perhaps the first sip
TODAY put me into the
shut-up-and-enjoy mode.

All of a sudden, the
world is a peaceful and
wonderful place where
all things are
“as ordained” and
“in balance”.

Why aren’t WE ALL
drinking THIS stuff???

You have to imagine the
sixteen year old
future Option Trader
singing this song in
the church choir.

WITHOUT WINE!!!

(Although we (the boys)
sought to consume
other forms of libation
whenever the opportunity
arose.)

As the musical key
changes, I can detect
fermented grapes
distributing joy to
the enlightened inhabitants
of our planet.

The problem is that this
is a…

So what then?

Obviously we need to GROW UP.

¿Hay voluntarios?

OK then, you first.

But, but, but…

What about the wine?

Just Enjoy.

In an inner child-forward manner.

Hang in there.
