Concha y Toro Winemaker’s Lot 102T 2006
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Why keep an online diary? I am not Samuel Pepys. I don’t have a burning desire to share my (albeit valuable) thoughts with the world. I have no reason to create an alibi, or lay a false trail for the police. I don’t have much spare time in my life, so I have to write quickly and from the gut (well, bladder to be precise). So why do I do it?
The answer is as simple as the various thoughts that meander through my sponge-like brain. I am exploring the world of wine and I wanted to keep a record for myself because my memory is patchy. But even I would be bored by reading bland tasting notes, or wine ratings (no, no, no, no, no, please, wine is subjective!). So I wrap my thoughts in inane claptrap…for some reason. And I know it’s bad form, but when I do look back at my various posts, I sometimes laugh at my own jokes (someone has to). Above all I recall happy things that simply would have fallen through my colandar like memory otherwise.
The imaginatively titled “102T” is not a name likely to hang around my hippocampus. It came from the Chilean Pinot Noir case I ordered from the Wine Society for about £82 recently.
Stumble It!
