Lackluster Performance
November 24th, 2005
While mixing up an injectible marinade for a deep fried turkey, I finished off the remainder of a bottle of white wine - one of the ingredients. It was very dissapointing and I now wish that I hadn’t drank it. A decent choice for a marinade ingredient, it was not a good idea for a sipping beverage.
The bottle of Sutter Home Pinot Grigio 2004 was a great deal at Meijer for $4.52+tax. The wine does a great job as a turkey flavoring and seasoning medium, but it has serious shortcomings otherwise.
My first sip was almost tolerable until I realized that there wasn’t anything more to the taste. It was very brief, light start that stopped suddenly as it was overpowered by a bland alcoholic flavor. I felt very dissapointed when there wasn’t any more left to the body of the wine. It didn’t have a very strong aroma (typical for a white) and then didn’t have a soft finish (not very typical). I can’t really offer a recommendation other than it’s good to inject in large, dead poultry.

So I had a thought for a post topic. Wine for beginners. I know a bit about wine such as the five S’s and such but not a whole bunch and I asume there are quite a few people who know less then me. And wine isn’t like beer where you just drink it for the buzz. There is an aura around wine that may keep some people from attempting to start drinking it. So maybe like a wine for dummies post or something like that.
