Lido Bay Sampler (3)
Sunday, July 8, 2012
There he is! Tom! My man!
“Chris! Love the new place!”
Oh thanks, dude. Can I offer you a drink?
“Sure. Have any wine?”
Do I ever! Here take a look. I got some 2009 Mercenary Zinfandel. That’s a nice full-bodied wine with flavors of dark cherries and spice. Then, of course, there’s the 2009 Mutiny 8888 Red Blend; that one starts off with some polished, supple tannins, before moving into flavors of cherry, blackberry, cedar, and toasted spice…
“What’s this one here?”
Oh, that’s my favorite: the 2008 Bitch Tongue Tempranillo.
“Huh. I’m not familiar with it. So tell me, what kind of flavors can I expect from this Bitch?”
The Bitch is overflowing with spicy and lively flavors of cassis, dark berries and black cherry!
“This Bitch sounds a little too crazy for me.”
No way, man. The Bitch is fine! One of Lido Bay’s finest, in fact.
“Okay. I’ll take the Bitch.”
Hey, that’s not very polite.
“Sorry. You’re right. I should say: Bitch, please.”
