Community Tasting Note

  February 24, 2009 - Wow, I just had one of those shake-you-head-in-disbelief moments from the Internet after discovering the wine blog Chateau Petrogasm. Chateau Petrogasm does wine reviews with pictures; no words, just pictures. For instance, for a review of an Aubert Chardonnay they had a picture of an angel. Now the left brained side of me thinks that this is one dumb idea. However, the right brain side of me is thinking that this is an original way to tap into the gestalt of the wine experience. If I was going to post a picture as a review of this Moscato it would be of a very small ballerina leaping across the stage throwing flower petals and candied fruit from a wicker platter.
  
  PARTAY. This wine is fun. Somewhat more bubbly than petillant and somewhat less bubbly than effervescent. Flower petals and peaches in the nose. Peach, apricot, almond paste, and pink bubble gum in the taste. Sweet and slightly lacking in acid but so light on the palate that it is not sticky or cloying. Not an ounce of savor in this wine, but there is a pound of delight.
