Judgement of Tamerlane - October 28, 2011

Latest OOI! Tanya and Erik recently watched the movie "Bottleshock" and thought it might be fun idea to do our own version of the "Judgement of Paris".

So what will we be judging? 3 California Cabs and 3 Bordeaux (predominantly Cab)…yes, it will be a blind tasting! Cost per person is $40.

We will also have some cheese, bread and other yummy food to complement the wine...

As it is Hallowe'en weekend, come dressed in you best French chic or California boho!

* In short, although motion expressions in tasting notes may be explained as specific instances of the phenomenon referred to as fictive motion, the verbs involved exemplify construal of salience and, accordingly, may be seen as related to metonymy." Cabellero 2007
* This wine caresses the palate, while the aroma percolates through my nose and plucks gently at my memory strings..."
* The flavour is massive, with great texture and density, notes of old library wood and toasted nuts. Rare and elegant. Grab it if you can.

OOI!
