fb, you missed some really critical posts in the distant past. Voice of heaven stuff.
mreh. tonight i sat and stared at a bottle of 09 bojo for far too long. my chubby brain flip flopped between wanting to open it to vanquish the fear that rudy had indeed faked the whole shebang, versus my own personal dislike for the texture of the supposed 09s i have been fed (nb., for those watching at home, my disliking the texture does not mean that it is fake or bad - it means it ain't my chubby cup du tee: no more; no less).
did i mention i sat and stared? i needed to know. was it real of fake?
i needed not to drink teh chubby froot bombz.
i hummed and hawed.
to accompany this humming and hawing, i opened the slutty, leesey mess that is
bernard huber's 08 weissburgunder qba .
if i was rudy teh conti, i'd have bought this shit by the truck load, and pumped it out as corton charles du main or somethin else fancy.
shit, i'd have declared 95 to be the best vintage of teh bojo blanc ever, and bottled it into long lost methusalas of the legendary jp brun blanc, grand cru point du cash. it has that rich, christmassy barf note that seems to work for the fancy, old sluts from the cote d'or. attach the right cover story, and the gerontophiles would lap this shit up.
me, i tried to see if a smidge of cassis would at least turn it into a decent kir.
nope.
the fatsink purred.
i gargle with a bottle of
dautel riesling gipskeuper troken ** 10 , to try to lose the taste. it works. the acidity works better in the south in germany in 10, and while this is fully ripe and 12%, the bracing fruit acid balance reminds me of less savory rieslings from days gone by, before teh modern viticultural practices improved everything. i'm agreeably surprised by how much i like this. the fatsink is not.
where was i? oh, yeah, teh beaujolais.
i look again at teh bojo, the emptied bottle of huber sits near it. should i? i eye the bottle of
CENSORED BY TEH FIGHTCLUB i had pulled as a back up.
muh. i believe, but i cannot confirm.
fb.
