Interesting -- The Most Inoffensive Word In Wine Tasting
Tried an "interesting" wine today. Actually, it's the fourth day in a row that I've tasted the same wine from the same bottle and I must admit, that I prefer it best today, probably because the oxidation has made it almost sherry like. Interesting is the best word to describe this wine's taste as it is a safe word for a wine writer. The "meaning" is left up to the reader. Push to shove, I would define interesting as neither great nor completely insipid. For those of you without a child studying for the SAT exam, insipid means dull, bland, unexciting. The wine? Senorio de Fuentealamo Macabeo. Serious wine students should try it as rarely will you find this varietal botteling in the United States. For the rest of you who just want a pleasurable glass of wine to enjoy on a Friday afternoon, join me as I've already moved on to Shoreline Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough...
