WE SACRIFICED OURSELVES FOR YOU HERE !! by TICKLEBEAR

yes, yes, we did!!!

as i had said here ,

i will comment on those wines

we drank the other night.

& it's all for you!!

imagine taking your tastebuds on a worldtour,

starting in france,

more exactly in the pyrenees;

then jumping off to south africa,

only to land even further,

in new zealand.

let these names evoke faraway lands:
mouscaillo,

le bonheur,

marlborough.

:)~

" domaine du mouscaillo",

2005 ,

limoux-france.

a great start to our evening it was,

as you get to taste a fruit nurtured

by the sea & by the earth.

a mineral note combine with light fruity accents,

it stays agreably in your mouth.

:)~

"le bonheur",

2007,

south africa.

(look completely at the bottom of their page.

that's where you'll find this wine.)

an enchanting name,

from an exotic region,

with an aroma & a taste

that'll make you swoon.

it is definitely tropical

& a revelation for your palate.

most enjoyable.

:)~

& now,

le coup de grace:

"kim crawford-marlborough, sauvignon blanc"

2007,

new zealand.

if you hate white wines,

you'll love this one.

if you love white wines,

you'll only swear by this one.

a mix of citrusy accents with herbal undertones,

it piques your tastebuds

into a brand new experience.

this stands in a category of its own.

the aroma is so refreshing,

you can almost feel the coastal breeze

while smelling an array of fruits

basking in the sun.

as i've said before,

i'm neither a writer nor a wine reviewer,

but i know what i like.

& this is clearly a moment of indulgence.

try it.

you deserve it!!

:D~

so,

all this because i couldn't find another bottle

of hermanos-lutton...

though i'm usually the faithful kind

& will stick to what (or who) is most familiar to me,

i am willing occasionally

to venture beyond familiar grounds.

& this was quite worth it.

just a reminder:

all these are affordable,

as i refuse to pay too much

when i know there are great products

still quite affordable.

you only have to check things out

at your local saq,

& you may be as lucky as i am sometimes,

maybe even more!!

my heartfelt thanks to the personel

at my local branch,

on the corner of sainte-catherine & beaudry.

they've given me great advices

throughout the years,

as friends have often commented

favorably on my selections.

there you have it!!

:)~
