Community Tasting Note

    July 15, 2016 - Is this my ode to CDP?
    It says something about me
    That I almost never see
    Food that doesn't pair really well
    With its loamy,earthy taste and smell
    At least that's the story I tell

    Truth be told,
    I might not serve it with filet of sole
    But if you did, I'd just call it bold
    And savor every velvet drop
    Against that buttery, lemony pop
    I wouldn't stop.

    Often I will drink a sabon
    With nothing, just on its own
    And so enjoy its herbal tones
    But I drank one with sushi last night
    And it even then seemed right
    Friendly and big yet somehow light

    Of course not all sushi is the same
    You may think it delicate, just by name
    But in this case, mine wasn't so tame
    Crunchy tuna rolls with lots of spice
    Oily salmon and mackerel by the slice
    With perfectly seasoned sticky rice

    I want to tell you more about the wine
    How purple, how full, how smooth, how fine...
    But there was no real analysis of the vine
    On this particular night, in this particular case,
    Just wine and dinner going in my face
    At the right time and in the right place.
