i swallow

[joggerjayne]

I've been skiving today. Don't tell the boss!

(Jayne is self employed, so the boss is already on to her ... damn)

I pretended I was working away from home this morning, and went to a wine tasting with winebuyer. I've come a bit of a cropper coz I got a bit p*ssed and I've had to ask a friend to go and get my car. I know they're gonna take the pee tonight coz I got caught out.

Thing is, I just couldn't do that spitty thing. It seems a bit gross. I just swallowed the lot (as they say, ha ha, yeah yeah). Obviously, by lunch time, they were all chatting sensibly and I was trolleyed.

But I am now an authority on (consults notes) New World Sauvignon Blancs and Unoaked Chardonnays. Tah Daah. Thank you �

(takes a small bow)

I shall impress them all down at the bar tonight with my new expertise and knowledge (once they finish taking the pee).

Depends which hemisphere the grapes are growing jno, and of course the quality of the soil, but generally I would prefer south-facing as the chardonnay grapes used then display a minerality that is much more typical to fine white Burgundy which can be pleasurable in a good chardonnay.

If the soil is limestone then much can be achieved which improves its fruity essence, for example such wines present a lemon scented aroma with abundant varietal character, whilst on the palate, a round, creamy texture and ripe citrus flavours underscored by the minerality that arises from growing chardonnay on limestone soil.

I think Jayne probably just likes her Sauvignon�s and Chardonnays in a glass or straight from the bottle. And B00, well we all know what she likes.

"abundant varietal character" = the Chardonnay actually tastes like Chardonnay ??

Are you talking in italics because you are slurring your words after swallowing all that grape juice?

[Drisgirl]

Thats not even bloody amusing lung cancer -I do hope you are jesting.
