Wino Wednesday: What I Won’t Drink
By Susan Mercedes. Filed in Wino Wednesday |
This Wino Wednesday post was inspired by a flavor I hate…raisins.
Sauternes are sweet wines. Raise your hand if you’ve tried them. Now if you actually raised your hand or thought about it, you need a reminder. I can’t see you.
Anyhow, back to sauternes. I don’t like them. Partly because they are made by procrastinators. People who were too lazy to turn that grape into something delicious. Instead they wait and only have raisins to work with. Moldy ones too. Also known as noble rot. Noble my ass. That stuff is simply rotten.
I don’t understand how a perfect delicious grape can shrivel up into a raisin and change completely. Both in the fruit form and the wine form, I hate raisins. Oh, I also hate the smell of them.
Therefore I am taking it upon myself to nag all winemakers forever. They need to stay on top of their grapes. Don’t let them turn into raisins. It’s a shame for everyone involved. Especially for me.
