In honour of US thanksgiving we had a small bird last night and cracked open something special
FWIW, that's a really great price.....
Yeah, and I would love to try it. However, I won't go north of $60 on a bottle without someone, who's taste I trust, giving a personal rec. Remember, at heart, I'm a cheap bastard.
It might have been overwhelmed by all the notes of white-out and baloney.

IIRC, you like wines from the Languedoc, right? They tend to have a good percentage of mourvedre, which a lot of people see as having this scent. I think in France they call it animale, which is a much better description. Much of it is cultural, I think, and in the US we tend, having no food culture at all, to see daring and shocking as sophisticated, and around these values have grown words we use commonly like "barnyard," "pig face" for pigs head etc. It is like a sign showing club membership, I think. None of this is a comment on the members here using it, just on how our own food and wine culture has developed.
You are way more prodigal than me.
