Boozers, it's been a minute. She's not sure what happened but somehow 6 years went by without one single unbelievably interesting post from The Wino. Thankfully, The Wino's sister reminded her that she used to be The Wino and more or less suggested that The Wino should make a comeback as The Wino. So that's exactly what's happening. At this very moment. Right now.
To mark this very special occasion, The Wino has decided to open a bottle of Grosgrain 2020 Grenache. The Wino was supposed to share this bottle with her friend Courtney. She promised, actually. Anyway, here The Wino is being a very bad no-good friend and cracking open the bottle like the boozy-mc-boozer she is. Courtney is no where in sight. Promise broken. Will the friendship survive? Boozers, we'll just have to see.
But The Wino digresses, what she really wants to tell you is that this wine is motherfucking delicious. And she wants to describe the tasting notes to you like a badass sommelier. But she can't. Instead, she's going to have to cough up some pathetic phrases that will, undoubtedly, confirm that she has not spent any of the past 6 years honing her wine tasting skills.
Grosgrain 2020 Grenache grapes are from the Walla Walla Valley, an American Viticultural Area located within Washington state and extending partly into the northeastern corner of Oregon (Thank you Wikipedia, The Wino actually purchased this bottle of wine in Walla Walla but apparently had no idea where she was). The wine is a light red that's tart and peppery with a lovely puckery tannin. OK, how was that, Boozers? The Wino can tell you're impressed. But don't be. According to the winemaker's description the wine has notes of crushed raspberry and cherry, and savory, Provençal herbs. Right. Of course it does. The Wino was just about to share that with you.
Anyway, The Wino will now open the bottle and probably drink the whole thing herself, in her backyard, with her cats. Not with Courtney.
A' votre santé, Boozers
