Inspired by the wine documentary Somm, I spent extra time in the produce aisle of the grocery store yesterday smelling the fruits, vegetables, and herbs. (I realized I don’t take near enough time appreciating and thinking about smells). I could feel the lady doing a wine tasting nearby eying me as I sniffed the peaches. Maybe I was being weird.

I was also inspired to buy a grapefruit, which I hadn’t had in a while. They have such a pungent smell, but this ruby red wasn’t nearly as mouthpuckeringly tart as I remembered it. But still delightfully juicy with a bit of added sugar. Looks kinda like pulverized flesh, doesn’t it?

Here are a few other things I learned from Somm

Mini Wine Review: Pancake Cellars Big Day White 

ABV: 12.9%

Appearance: Straw colored with a moderate amount of viscosity.

Smell: Apples, pear, slightly musky.

Taste: Apples, pear, and honey. A bit of spice to it.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, smooth, little aftertaste.

The verdict: Not bad. Semi-sweet and a bit spicy, just like our own Cynthia.

One liner tasting note for Redbox’s Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012:

“‘Easy drinking’ doesn’t mean ‘no character’; lot’s to love: smooth n’ juicy; very friendly. Sincere. 5 stars.”

Looooove Bandol rosé. This Terrebrune is yum.

How was your day?
