Cab Sauv: your personality = not subtle

Post by jdaw1 »

This week’s Wine Folly: What Your Favorite Wine Says About You.

Cabernet Sauvignon ⇒ “You like music with real instruments played by real musicians. You live by the motto: “No pain, no gain.” No one would dare use the word ‘subtle’ to describe your personality. Cabernet Sauvignon seems fitting.”

In which case, what does Port say?

Not sure about the Port question, but I'm slightly concerned about Daniel's penchant for a nice fruity Malbec :?

Ugh. I hate Malbec. I never touch New World wines. Did I mention, can't stand Malbec.

Presumably it is so unclassy to store such things in a shoebox.

Good topic. I will stand up for Malbec. It's a great big rough edged thing, an Aztec sculpture of a Rhone wine.

I think the type of port people like speaks volumes; Alex's partiality for the more mature and subtle. The love some have for Colheita. But overall I still maintain that port is a ritual as much as a drink, what that says about us I am less sure.

Perchance a Cahors would float your boat?
