A tongue-in-cheek comment from Natalie MacLean in "Wine Speak",
Saltscapes/Readers' Digest Canadian edition Sept 06:

"Describing wine often has a faint whiff of condenscension over a robust
layer of barnyard by-product."

I found it quite funny.

I got to write that down and keep it in my wallet. That's a hoot!
Spot on!
