Ginger ale, w/a splash of black raspberry sparkling water.
What, I'm nothing if not consistent.

Last night I liberated a 1978 Parducci Mendocino County Cabernet-Merlot.
It was a Cellarmaster label with 60/40 blend. The cork was stained only about 2/3 of its length and came free easily. After 42 years it lacked a lot of fruit smells and tastes, but was all-around very pleasant. This wine was part of a statewide effort in California to mimic Bordeaux wines from France using their traditional varieties. They came up with the name Meritage and many wineries produced them. The blends still are common, but I am not sure if the term survives. |

I wouldn't mourn the passing of the marketing term.
I'm interested by your observation that the fruit smells and tastes were lacking--what else is there in wine but fruit? #notasommelier *** I am drinking--trying to drink--a little bit of bourbon. It seems the glass I used wasn't rinsed completely and the taste of soap dominated the booze. I threw it out. I poured another in a new glass--same result. Now I'm sad *AND* sober. wtf.

When I just got out a freshly cleaned glass for my pre-dinner S&W, soap smell and taste is what I got. Gahhh. It took three thorough rinsings get rid of them. (Why doesn't spellcheck like "rinsings"?) I don't seem to notice this problem with other beverages. |

Fruit can be harvested at different levels of ripeness. When Bordeaux and California wines are compared, it's often said that California wines are more "fruit forward" (riper tasting). Wines made from very ripe grapes can even be jammy (reminiscent of grape jam). Wines continue to evolve in the bottle and change chemically. The aromas and flavors of fruit can become subdued. It's probably more readily noticed by those used to drinking California wines rather than Bordeaux.

Just got Truly pineapple seltzer on a recommendation, and let me just tell you.
It tastes like the can it comes in. Or maybe a sock. Blech. Rinsing my mouth out with.... The Shin.

What are you drinking right now?
Doesn't matter, not nearly enough alcohol in it.
I can remedy that. And I know how, too.
