Me: So you liked the 2009 Saxum James Berry from Magnum
Gawain: Yes, great fruit, great balance, great wine making, etc. etc.
Me: What’s the oldest wine you ever had.
Gawain: uh, 19sixty uh . . .
Me: (interrupting) let me fix that
Me: (After leaving for a few minutes and handing him a small cordial glass with about an ounce in it) Here, try this.
Gawain: Gushes about amazing flavors and aromas. Citrus, Caramel, Nuts, etc.
Me: So you like it?
Gawain: Yes, it’s amazing.
Me: 1922 Madeira, opened 7 years ago for my mother’s 90th Birthday. We saved a few ounces for her 100th, but she didn’t make it.
Gawain: (Who happens to be the local Episcopal Priest who runs a low impact $20 price point wine group at the church that occasionally generates Bogle and KJ variants) “If we had this wine for communion, I would have all the parishioners in White Plains.”
So I put it in the photo, although only two people actually got to taste it. I will post a better photo later, when the sun moves in the sky and I can play with it more.
I have lots more photos with other people but I was cooking and serving food for 8 hours so I’m a bit tired. There are people photos that I will post after I finish washing 75 wine glasses and about 200 prices of cutlery. Hooray. No plastic utensils were killed,in the making of this movie.
