I love Pinotage! I like all the weird heavy flavors and some woman told me I was strange because it tasted like Band-aids or something sterile to her, which I could appreciate. One of the most memorable wines I've tasted was the 2004 Meinert Synchronicity. It's a blend of CS, Merlot, Pinotage, CF and it had all of these wonderful tobacco and leather notes. It was like drinking your grandfather's study. Cozy, warm, and familiar.
QOTD: Duh, curling.

Killing awkward raccoons is one of my hobbies….
Hard to say, but I did love the 1992 USA Basketball team.

QOTD: I love downhill skiing during the winter olympics. For summer, I would have to say swimming.

Well I gave it a try and I have to say it's pretty darn good. To that, the guest that tried w/me enjoyed it as well. I think Gary hit it on the head when he said 'like your first kiss.. awkward but you love it" Much lighter in color than I expected yet thicker in the mouth... almost a tiny syrupy. A little blueberry picked right off the bush on a hot summer day, pleasant wine
