Well, I finally have internet access back after AOL 6.0 completely screwed up my computer for a week.
Let's see. Where to begin? Ah, Pinot Noir. What a wretched little grape. Thin-skinned and quite tempermental, it offers little but thin wines with acidity problems and weird, decomposition aromas. Frankly, all the vines should be pulled up around the globe. We need more potatos and corn to fatten all the hogs and steers we eat. Well, let me ammend that. It should be allowed to grow solely in Germany where Wittman has turned it into a very nice dessert wine.
It is my firm belief that those that eagerly proclaim their love of the grape are screwy and are not to be trusted. Nor should those, btw, that say they like Cabernet Franc.
The end.
Can I go home now?
Brad
