Oh, and what a wine fest it was! Mmmmmm...Jersey wines! :-). I had an extra creamy, albeit over-oaked chardonnay, which was nice if you like to drink your wine by sucking it out of a two-by-four. My lady described it as "a wine only a termite would love," but I thought it was pure Cougar Juice. The pink zin from Los Borrachos Hermanos Cellars was full-bosomed and had an earthy tint to it. It wasn't my favourite wine of the afternoon, but I thought that the loud call to the sommelier from a certain Hope Ranch socialite to "put it back in the horse" was completely inappropriate. Coup le Fromage Vintners offered a bosomy yet serpentine beaujolais that just screamed "Nyquil." When it finally kicked in, though, it was like being slapped in the face several times in succession by the parlour maid, and when it stops being fun, she offers you a Mallomar. Next time, though, they should provide Diet Coke as well, since it was so warm out.
