Dead tasting

WINE TALK
1

I have seen quite a few people on the board that have Grateful Dead themes pictures.
So, I was thinking about having an off line with the theme being " Grateful Dead", if you were to come, what will you bring and why?

Volnay and Barolo.
“It Must Have Been the Roses”

3

Maybe an Alsatian white blend with a touch of Pinot Gris [whistle.gif]

4

You would have to have plenty of August West wines! “My name is August West,…”. Wharf Rat.

5

A really old, tired, oxidized, over-the-hill Pinot Grigio because if you get high enough, it will probably be as good as anything else.

6

Oregon Pinot from “Four Winds” Vineyard

7

The other half found me stumbling 'round drunk on Burgundy wine. also Wharf Rat

Just found this wine as well

10

A wine that would be likable if you are stoned, but not if you were sober?

I kid, I kid!

OK, for a Dead tasting event…

Rhys "Bear"wallow.

Williams Selyem “Weir Vineyard.”

Williams Selyem “Morning Dew” pinot.

(I never realized the Williams Selyem/Dead connection before. (Maybe I’d bring some Rochioli Riverblock and we could change the words from Alabama Getaway. It works on syllables.)

Some “Ripple,” of course! [cheers.gif]

11

Holy cow!

I would bring some of this:

12

A trocken Riesling, because it’s super-high acid.

13

X2 on the Trocken cottonmouth Killers

14

My daughter is named scarlet. She could help serve the wine

15

Ripple.

16

Not a truckin’ riesling?

17

You’ll need some alligator wine on the table.

And, of course, a (dusty) bottle of red Grenadine.

18

Never appreciated the Dead so it would have to be a grape or region I don’t get either. Therefore it would be either a Sauternes, Sherry or a Shiraz.

19

Well I’m sure we’d be sharing the wines, but if it’s a Dead tasting we’re supposed to share the women, too. Not sure how that works logistically…

20

We could just agree that nothing from a certain vintage or older would not be “tasted.”

Really? Sharing womens? All those Dead shows and I never got to swap? I totally missed that part. I suspect that next you will try to tell me that there was some sort of drug subtext, too.
