That would actually make some sense, but it was for an older Riesling. Maybe that’s a thing in the South?

I thought I was reading James Herriot.
I was thinking brunello … and google perhaps bears that out… San Filippo Le Lucere Brucellosis Di Montalcino - A&D Wines - Buy Rite South Orange, South Orange, NJ
Well, this one was probably from spellcheck

But this one is a bit more difficult to understand

I’m not sure if this is useless, but certainly is one of the more unusual notes I’ve seen:

You really have t wonder how some people spend their time out of the cellar.
There could be a thread of “descriptors … how on earth do they know that …”
“A proper pinot noir which goes nicely with sweet BBQ.”

BBQ what? Salmon? But sweet?
This raises sooo many questions about the wine the food and the taster.
We could have a little competition for suggestions as to the food and the wine.
My suggestion. Meiomi with maple teriyaki glazed salmon. Oh wait, it’s “proper” Pinot - forget it.
Maybe they meant sweet as “excellent.” Used in a sentence by Bill and/or Ted: “Dude, that BBQ is sweet.”

This is why bitchin’ should be back in the lexicon…no ambiguity between:
…goes nicely with bitchin’ bbq.
vs.
…goes nicely with sweet bbq.

From CT, about a certain “Extra Brut” Champagne, name withheld to protect the possibly innocent
My notes from this fantastic gigantic tasting are in general extremely short (because of the many wines) but with ratings. We spent a whole day tasting and tasting quality wines.
Yup, that was it!

This in CT on a vintage port:
It’s a good wine. But sweet red wine is not my type of wine.

CT member since November 2014 with three total notes (both 2024) this first one twice and then second one. All on pretty high end wines (Pinot, Cabernet). At least no scores were posted!

“Daniel asked”
WTF……
