Mixed Batch
We decided to have some wine Tuesday, so I headed out to Spec’s. Since it was a spontaneous trip, I really didn’t have time to consider what to buy. I picked up a bottle of Chateau Bonnet-a really nice White Bordeaux for under $10, and really couldn’t decide where to go from there. I remembered an article I read the other day that suggested heading to the chilled wines. The author made the assertion that the wine stewards usually keep their favorites chilled, and that the cooler was a great place to find good, reasonably priced wines.
They have a big cooler at Spec’s, so I still had some deciding to do. I picked up Chateau Cadillac (also a Bordeaux) White. As many of you know, Cadillac’s red has been my standby since late January. I’ve stayed away from the white because of it’s color, urine. I know you won’t find that one in a Crayola 64 pack, but that’s the best way to describe it. I really didn’t see anything else that jumped out at me, so I decided to give it a try. After all, their red is awesome, they couldn’t possibly be too far behind on their white. It was even a 2005. After tasting it, I decided the color wasn’t urine, it was apple juice. Because that’s exactly what it tasted like. Except not as sweet. It tasted like the juice of unripened apples. It wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great either. At least now I know.
