Heh.

lol. I honestly don’t know how those guys have the nerve to say all that shit about a wine. And do it over and over.

I'm sensing notes of envy.

Funny, the other day I had some white wine and was like... that gives hints of apple, no of pear... actually I have absolutely no idea. I can taste the difference between a buttery oak chardonnay and a steel chardonnay lol.

Sure. I can pick out a lot - not all - of the flavors they talk about, but what I look for is balance and character, depth of flavor, long finish. So many California wines are a caricature of wine, while no one does it better than the French.

99 times out of 100 I don't want to pay that damn much attention to a wine, just enjoy it and irrigate the food.
