TN: 2004 Arbor Mist Raspberry Merlot
Served with a delicious possum stew last night.
color: pale vermillion with scarlet edges and a hint of rose madder nose: an explosive bouquet of banana peel, orange rind and coffee grounds, with an undercurrent of 1931 Dusenberg exhaust fumes palate: barnyard scents (pig farm, to be precise) on entry, giving way to rich flavors of unripe persimmons, durian fruit and ginkgo berries, ending in a long, sticky sweet finish sco 101.26 Mark Lipton [N.B. - Please take note of date] |

Making the Arbor Mist clearly inferior to true 101+ wines such as the '79 Annie Green Springs Apple. Dale Dale Williams Drop "damnspam" to reply |

Got a card from J & S. They just loved Hawkes Bay. |

What a mismatch! I thought everyone knew that possum stew cries out for
for a Krover Nacktarsch. It is a pity you live so far way, or I could have sent you a lovely Kendermann Krover Nacktarsch 1974 even though it is my only bottle. I hope you also served candied sweet potatoes with plenty of brown sugar cherries, and marshmallows. Also you should have had Boston Musical Society Baked Beans. These are made the same as Boston Baked Beans, except 4 batches of beans are used. After the first beans are soaked and boiled, the beans are discarded and the liquid is used to soak and cook more beans. When you reach the last batch of beans, you reduce all of the cooking liquid and mix it with the beans. This makes a very unusual dish, and after an hour or so you will learn how it got this special name. |

Had third year Yale sudents congratulating Canada on finally adopting the 24hr clock & legalizing insulin..... An EVERYONE knows that Raspberry Arbor mist should be paired with corn dogs & a 'squirt' chaser....jeez..... On that note, I watched with horror, just the other night, as a woman (with the most obscene chest job I've ever seen) add ginger ale to her glass of Holy Trinity G.S.M..... If she'd only asked, I'd have told her that G.S.M. should only ever be mixed with tonic water.... some people! |

Mark (and thou tooist venerable Anglohungarofrancophile M. Oharr...) You would not believe it - March (vintage month in these fair antipodean shores) has been the driest since records began in 1,234bc - a mere 1mm here in Auckland and zero in both Hawkes Bay and Marlborough if rumours are correct (my carrier pigeons died from dehydration!!!!!) But not unbearably hot - so looking forward to some great Sauvignon from both Palliser and Wither Hills. But, 31 whole days of sunshine!!!!! So, perhaps you (and SHMBO - immigration will reject your entry if you should come alone) should consider March/April as the best time for a return visit?) > > p.s. Got a card from J & S. They just loved Hawkes Bay. > > I'm not surprised. My cards will probably arrive next month.. Nope - they will bring them - at least they can fit them in their uggage - do not expect anything larger!!!!! > Best wishes to you and Kathryn, Thank you my friend - likewise to you and yours. AB |

"Cwdjrx _" in ...
> . . .. Also you should have > had Boston Musical Society Baked Beans. Indeed indeed. Reminds me of the 1996 experimental hot-spicy rehydrated-chickpea cassoulet whose side effects were horrible, devastating. Still, merely physical, not spiritual, not one of those life traumas like the rotten black Chinese mushroom I once bit innocently in Ithaca, New York, leaving me changed -- entire dimensions of wretchedness in flavor unimaginable to the fortunate inexperienced whom chance spares. There is even a small specialty cooking literature of the designedly off-putting. Helen Gurley Brown's "Ghastly Eggs" recipe is famous in the US, in part thanks to the Sterns' observant reprinting of it. (The Sterns are better known for their _Encyclopedia of Bad Taste_ with its 110 engaging small articles: fake fur, stretch limousines, Gabor sisters, Liberace, etc., containing amazing details.) Given energy and an occasion, I'll quote that recipe, but someone else is welcome to do so too. It IS wine-related. |

I'll ask my friend Michael Loo about these. He's a viola player who lives in Boston, I wonder if he's suffered through them! >This makes a very unusual dish, and after an hour or so you will learn >how it got this special name. Perhaps not. He's got the most incredibly resistant constitution of anyone I know. As well as knowing more about cooking, wine, bridge and mycology. -- All the Best Ian Hoare http://www.souvigne.com mailbox full to avoid spam. try me at website |
