Today, I will be providing you a nice story. It’s a favorite of mine and I hope you enjoy it too.
If You Give A Stu A Wine Blog
If you give a Stu a wine blog, then he’ll probably ask for a bottle of wine to review.When you give him a bottle of the 2013 El Prado Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon from Spain, he’ll ask you to open it and pour him a glass.
After you pour him a glass, he’ll talk about how it is a nice medium shade of red. He will then ask to smell it.
When he smells it, the Stu will describe the raspberry and herbal aromas that fill his nasal cavity with a sense of preparedness. After smelling the wine, he’ll want to taste it.
After he has taken a sip, he will mention how it has a medium body and the raspberry is very prominent. He’ll rant about how the wine was dry and sucked the moisture from his salivary glands. He’ll jest about the medium finish and its slightly abrasive texture.
After the sip, he’ll ask for the stats and you’ll say:
Region: Spain (Valencia)
Blend: 70% Tempranillo, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon
ABV: 13.5%
Price: 6%
After the stats, the Stu will want to give it a rating. He’ll think, and he’ll think, and he’ll think. In the end, he will give it a…
Rating: Try Again.
He will conclude that it is not bad as a stand alone wine, but could really benefit from something savory and a little fatty. After a short moment of introspection, the Stu will ask for a charcuterie board.
And chances are…if you give the Stu a charcuterie board…
he’ll ask for a bottle of the 2013 El Prado Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon to go with it.
