CWD: Fuck this cold!

I've been totally under the weather with sniffles, sore throat, etc. for a good 5 days.

Finally, I get out from under it, and everything smells so wonderful. I poured off half the bottle of 2001 Belle Pente Pinot Murto Vineyard, 'cause it's a weeknight. But I have it with some cheese and Salumi (capital-S: as in, armandino's [little-a, for the pedantically inclined] (should have been nested parens, for the Lispy folks (scheme-y folks count too))) and it smells so lovely that I power it down and drink the other half-bottle.

So is the wine really that good, or am I just so happy to be released from the lack of olfactory sensation?

Only The Shadow knows.
 
actually....it's true, all the senses seem heightened after a cold. just gotta watch the gargles: some of the more potent ones significantly recalibrate the palate in bizarre ways sometimes.
 
And thanks for the Murto peek - I've got a bottle or two of that laying about and don't have a cold. Maybe I should wait until I have one to open it?

If I just had one, I'd probably wait on it for a couple of years.
