Dave Gives it the Ol' Viticulture Try
Over two decades ago, Calvin Trillin explained that in a blind taste test, most people can't tell the difference between red and white wine, and this is true for me-- I am certainly no super-taster, nor do I have a particularly sensitive nose (except when it comes to my wife's deer repellent spray-- that shit makes me gag) so I really tried to channel this knowledge last night and drink a glass of Bread and Butter chardonnay (which I purchased by accident at Costco, it was lurking in a case of pinot noir) but I could not do it-- and so maybe visual clues do produce flavors, and a deep dark red color makes my brain taste one thing and light golden urine-like color makes my brain taste another.
The 2023 Bread & Butter California Chardonnay: a quaffable varietal owing much to the unique terroir. The nose is rather rich and pleasant, with elements of vanilla, butter, and asparagus. The eye is brilliant, with strong hues of urine.
ReplyDeletei guess because i can taste all that nonsense, color really informs my palate.
