This is all I can ask of
a white wine from Northern Italy.

Maybe I get tired trying to
describe the wine.

Maybe I don’t know how.

But I DO know how to enjoy it.

This PARTICULAR wine is “different”
for several reasons, but I’ll focus
on two obvious ones.

The Grape

The Location/Region

Saint Peter: It looks like you
died penniless and destitute.
What happened?
OTWN: I started taking Barbaresco
baths and then the money ran out.
SP: What about the lovely white
wines we afforded you.
OWTN: They didn’t get me clean
and I didn’t smell as good after bathing.
SP: I would tell you to go stand
in the corner but I’m afraid that
you would scare everybody.
YOU’RE PURPLE!

Other that the fact that this
wine is “perfect”, one observation
is that there is the SLIGHTEST
honeycomb flavor in it.

Or maybe it’s extra virgin olive
oil.

Or tropical fruit.

Or citrus.

So clean and crisp.

What’s that “green” thing
I’m tasting?

Like that.

Perfect.

This wine was consumed
with the Thanksgiving leftovers.

Can’t be bad.

Hang in there.
