Community Tasting Note

February 1, 2007 - How not to drink a wine. Discover a bottle in your refrigerator and have no idea how it got there. Come home from work one night to find your wife has started to cook with it. Shove it back untasted into the refrigerator with a loose stopper and forget about it. Open it up two weeks later and pour a glass. Now if this wine tasted like bad sherry it could only have been my fault. But miraculously it didn't. There was a lilting grapefruit fragrance and some fruit with a straw-like finish, and only minor signs of oxidation. What is this stuff? Clearly there was something really good in here (it's 7 years old for god's sake) before I butchered it. No rating under the circumstances except for the zero that should be tattoed on my forehead. Note to self, figure out how it came into my undeserving possession.
