What is Wonkette Doing Nowadays? When She’s Not Fighting Malkin, She Is Apparently Writing Wine Descriptions
We were wine-tasting in the Santa Ynez Valley on Monday. I saved the brochure from the tasting we did at the Fess Parker winery. According to the brochure, one of the wines has a
rich, round mouth feel and lingering finish.
Another “finishes with nice length.”
Not to be outdone, a woman at a different winery told us that a wine had a “smooth silky mouth finish.” That wasn’t in the brochure; she told us that orally.
Yeah, and if the first six glasses don’t get rid of the taste nothing will.

still remember the spat from years ago over whether you could use “prismatic luminescence” in a wine description. we’ve gone way, way beyond that.
Seriously, I think these wine people make this crap up.

Kevin Murphy (0b2493) — 7/6/2006 @ 7:57 amI thought I saw you up there. We did the 4th of July Passport Tour and hit about six wineries. Did you make it to the Artisan gallery/winery? They have an interesting way of promoting their vino.

Other adult beverages fail to produce the curious malady, possibly because those imbibers can’t quite persuade themselves they’re actually doing something other than getting juiced.
