Which wine goes with...?

[Jeff Grossman]

Clove-y baked ham,
Oven-roasted home fries,
Garlicky mixed vegetable saut",
Sage-y spoon bread,
Sauteed onions and mushrooms,
Bacon and cheddar quiche...

...it can only be Lopez de Heredia 2000 Rioja Rosado "Vi"a Tondonia", salt, rust, iodine, as minerally as a vitamin tablet, this showed some vestigial fruitiness on the first night but, three days hence, it drinks like a glass of hard water and rusty nails. Wacky stuff.

Jeff, My first thought is Cote Rotie, but the right Zin should be a good option also.

[Keith Levenberg]

I would've gone for a riesling myself!

 

[robert ames]

sounds like it is too late to be asking.

Jeff, great description. Hard water and rusty nails indeed.

Salil, With extreme haste (as is my custom). I thought Jeff might be begging the question, but maybe not!?!

No harm, no foul!

You're really intent on supplying material for the pedants among us.

I am starting to write off these uses of "begging the question," as well as "varietal" for "variety" to invincible ignorance and give up the fight. I readily admit that this may just mean I have deserted the good fight and it's time for someone else to pick up the standard, but you can only write the same post so many times.

The beggars have won.

 

[Sharon Bowman]

That's just the beggars' belief.

Jeff, stop plagiarizing WS panel tasting notes.

"desserted"

I'm guessing this is a joke, but, in my pedantic way, I'm not getting it.

 

[Peter Creasey]

If...

Begging the question means to present as true a premise that requires proof--i.e., taking a conclusion for granted before it is proved or assuming in the premises of your argument what is supposed to be proved in the conclusion.

Then...

Pedantic or not, I don't see why the premise...

it can only be Lopez de Heredia 2000 Rioja Rosado "Vi"a Tondonia"

fails to qualify as "begging the question".

If it is "begging the question", then I think it is reasonable to suggest some alternatives.

Good exercise!

Dearest Professuh, yes, it is a joke. As anyone can plainly see, I offered you a "correction" which is itself invincibly ignorant. That is called irony. You may find it a useful technique for posts on your other boards. Here on Wine Disorder the Politburo has banned the use of irony, bathos, anaphora, and all tropes involving prongs. These are dark times for the grammatically-abled but the Politburo knows what is best for us.
