Clos du Gaimont Vouvray 2016

Chenin Blanc, that is.

I happen to have opened this
wine when the stock market was
getting CRUSHED.

Not the best time to be taking “notes”.

The first sip of the wine caused
me to do one of those “shudder”
moves.

Where the whole body tries to
shake it off.

Like having cold water sprayed on
you, but on a REALLY HOT DAY WHEN
IT FEELS GOOD.

I have no idea what is going on.

The wine is simply SHOCKING.

(That would be a good thing.)

For “whatever reason”, I was curious
as to WHAT I PAID FOR THIS
STUNNINGLY DELICIOUS WINE.

After the case discount and the
gift certificate “per bottle allocation”,
I paid around $12 for this one.

Lest there be any confusion,
this is a Loire Valley wine.

And while we’re taking the
refresher course, let’s put
in our order for a
Sancerre PN/rouge.

How expensive is that?

Hmmmm. It might be doable.

Do any bottles land in KS/MO?

Hang in there.

Dry Creek Chenin Blanc 2016

It attracts attention
like a stick in the mud.

That’s OK.

The frailty of human
intentions dictate that
the search for pearls begin
in the pig sty.

Wash it off and let
it transport you to
the next level of your
wine enjoyment.

Already in the clouds?

Them come back to enjoy
a truly amazing Earthly
experience.

It’s the “honeycomb experience”
that always amazes me.

For whatever “unusual reason”
this wine is the one WE
pick to cook with in the
absence of “more enlightened”
guidance.

Chicken piccata today.

With “green rice”.

I know what you are thinking, but…

I don’t care.

It doesn’t matter.

I get to drink the
wine “leftovers”.

Nothing else matters…

It’s a good thing
food is nourishing or
we would starve to death.

Saint Peter: Why are you
burping?
OTWN: I had deviled ham
for lunch and then…
SP: Go stand in the corner.
OTWN: THOSE people are
FARTING!
SP: They’ve been here a while.
Hand me your crackers.
I need something to
go with these sardines.

Chenin Blanc…
Don’t leave Earth without it…

Hang in there with
the gusto of a hound dog.
