Fluorescent wines

[Ignacio Villalgordo]

i have noticed that every time I open a white wine and it's colour is fluorescent, i usually love the stuff. Does the same occur to you?

 

[Joel Stewart]

can i ask what you take before you open the wine?

If by fluorescent you mean orange, then often times, yes.

I find that orange wines that are bright and lively in color tend to be more to my palate than those who can look a bit brownish.

I also feel the same way about the wines of Peyra.

 

[Dan McQ]

Floral yes.

Fluorescent no.

Fluorescent, Ignacio? You have to show me some of that stuff!

 

[mlawton]

I prefer incandescent wines.

 

[SFJoe]

Any examples to mention?

 

[mlawton]

Oh, you know, some of the softer whites like Pinot Blanc, Rkatstelli, etc.

This thread has potential.

 

[Scott Kraft]

Especially if Coad weighs in on Vin Jaune ...

 

[Chris Coad]

No, no, nothis thread is about "fluorescent" wine, not "putrescent" wine.

I cannot in good conscience encourage thread drift.

 

[Scott Kraft]

Have you not held a blacklight up to a glass of VJ? Glows in dark!

(Since when have you had a conscience?)

 

[Chris Coad]

So, you're telling me vin jaune is chemically similar to Luminol?

This explains a few things. Like, you know, the taste.

 

[Scott Kraft]

I swore off Luminol after seeing what it did to Nancy Reagan. SFJoe probably knows the answer.

This post reminds me of the old movie D.O.A. and "luminous poison."

 

[Joe Dressner]

I'm not familiar with the movie. Would you tell us something about the film?

What's the plot? Who directed? Which actors were in the film?

Where's Joe Perry to make a comic book reference?

D.O.A. 1949 film noir starring Edmond O'Brien and directed by Rudolph Mate (who also directed Gilda). Shot on location in, among other places, San Francisco. Small town businessman visits the city and learns he has been murdered; tries to figure out whodunit (slow acting poison is the vector).

Fuck you Steve, and welcome to the best place on the internet to experience the post-post-modern beauty that is thread-drift!

I've just recently become acquainted with the term "vector" in the context of vaccines.

This place is starting to feel like home again.

Vaccines in particular, or just as they relate to infectious diseases spread by, for instance, mosquitoes? I know the latter usage but not the former.

Well, just as they relate to infectious diseases. I'm just learning all this immunology stuff. Lots of jargon, which I like.

Kudos for you for using the edit function. Truly a man among boys.
