Who needs a juicer when a glass of this has everything:

On the nose, this wine is very pretty, with lots of roses, petals,
cherry, strawberry and plum. As the fruit subsides, the expressive nose
begins to reveal hints of tobacco, dill, cream and custard. On the
palate, the wine is bright, with tart cherry, rhubarb and cranberry
giving an instant burst of freshness. There are hints of leaves, nettles
and brambles too, adding complexity.

How do they describe shitty wines?

Pencil shavings, wet gravel, dank cave, stinkbug wings, smashed
daddy long-leggers, seal liver bile, polar bear urine, festering
hemmoridial pustules, porta potty pucks, deep thrombosis swine
abscesses, and cystic acne eruptions.

Score: 72.

Well, that was an orgy of verbal masturbation.

That was a funny review and he even forgot to name the wine. He
also forgot to say that it makes all food taste good as any adult
beverage will. ;)

After one glass of wine, I'm not all over the place loving any old
food, you know.

It was a Burgundy, a Pommard in fact. The review is typical of fine-wine
journalism these days and one finds similarly ridiculous descriptions of
other types in the press.

I'd love to drink it, but that's another matter.

Wine is one of the most disgusting drinks. It is gross, it is not
healthy, it smells bad, and most people drink it because it has been
so over romanticized. Yes Romans drank a large amount of wine because
Italy seems to be a great place for growing wine. Also because the
Romans fresh water was not filtered nor boiled, so wine was mainly
used because it was much more sanitary. People think romance has
something to do with love, IT DOES NOT. Romance has NOTHING AT ALL to
do with love.

So my point is wine is just plain yuck, and it gives females the
ability to be alcoholics.

I love nice wine actually. If it's too hard for your immature taste
buds, just have a glass of milk. Don't forget to take your pacifier
out first :)
