OK who knows my tastes and thinks I bought this?
Friends gave up on alcohol so they were gracious enough to share their treasures. Provenance most likely the kitchen cupboard. chlled for a few months now for some reason unkown to me. We cleaned out the fridge this morning so I thought, why not, in the name of research. The cork, amazingly tight with a little residual pop on opening. Nose, a little sulfur (?) and here I confess I drank from the bottle as will become clear in a moment. A sip. swirling noxious chemical tastes not really like cork but sour and funky. So I did what anyone would do, I poured it down the sink. color- dare I say Urine? a bit cloudy at that. This puppy wouldn't pass a draft physical in the midst of war. Ahh I feel better now, nice bottle shape. Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations www.josephcoulter.com |

SOunds like $20 >wasted! It was the Blanc de Noir and whatever the cost it was wasted. I have had this previously and was expecting nothing from that encounter. I am sure that our resident troll from a couple years back would assure me that the problem was A> not Itlaian and 2 I didn't have food with it. I feel that this one is proof that the second is no indicator, no food on earth would save this one. Now if I could only get some of Mark's left over Goose . . . Beverly is not a goose or duck person and I am seriously jonsing over Mark's post. Joseph Coulter Joseph Coulter Cruises and Vacations www.josephcoulter.com |

I've got leftovers, Joseph, and Andrew and I are batching it for another 2 days while Jean is off speaking in California. Just hop a plane to Indy and I can guarantee you all the goose you can eat and something palatable to wash it down with. Of course, you'd have to leave the Sunshine State for 30°F and snow flurries... Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.cwdjr.net |
