Rough-as-Guts Red - Humour

Gotta say though, that there’s nothing to beat nose and flavour of highly acidic cats pea on freshly mown grass – i.e. Sauvignon Blanc.  Cheers Greg

  1. I am patient, very patient and willing to guarantee that the cats pee phase is just that, a phase. Fortunately the world is fairly evenly divided outside of the Southern Sperbs. It does require a desire for big things, and therefore not for everyone.

    Sauv Bl is fine for a first glass quaff, but as soon as there's a snack in sight, the taste of Sauv Blanch dissipates into nothingness + acid. Most wine drinkers who wake up with hangovers have one thing in common - Sauv Bl the night before. The cultivar with the highest need for Sulphur, and lots of it.

    If you suffer from hay fever whilst drinking wine, it's Sauv bl, of that I can assure you.

    But not all is lost though. Give one or two Chardonnay's a chance a week (not the over wooded plank chewing stuff), and you may be tempted into promiscuity.. in the wine sense! I've converted many a non-believer, even extreme die hards. One thing's for sure though, girls who don't generally like red wine, generally steer clear of Chardonnay.

    No matter your passion for vino, you can still all be my friends any time!

  2. Don't just take my word for it. See James Halliday (Aussie's Mr. Platter) comment: http://winecompanion.com.au/article/271/Sauvignon+Blanc+vs+Chardonnay
