Is “The Old Man’s Blend” an homage to the current president or the Republican nominee.
Hi Erika, I had that experience many times where the wine smells better than it tastes. But maybe that dish you had it with wasn’t the best match. Sounds like a white wine could’ve been better and maybe steak would have showed better with the red.
Hey Steve– It definitely wasn’t ideal but it’s what my sister and I had in the fridge to whip together! I did taste the wine quite a bit before having it with dinner so I don’t think that the meal adversely affected my opinion.
I wouldn’t toast quite yet, McCain/Palin might be worse than Bush/Cheney, if you can even imagine that.
I’ve only done one WBW and after reading your post, I’m sad I missed the last one! I need to catch up wht October’s theme will be…
Thanks for warning me on this wine. I was getting ready to buy it. I think my Chilean Malbec woud be a better fit for what you had but since it is a private reserve nobody will know except me.
