That day has come.
(Updates in RED)

Time n/a yet18:52 -
Food undecided at the mo'A handful of Californian walnuts
Brand Wolf Blass
Grape Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Malbec
Year 2006
Price NZ$89.95 (up to A$110.00 makes no sense really... AUS wine in NZ being cheaper)
Thoughts:
I almost feel guilty thinking about drinking it. But I'm going to. Oh fuck yes, I'm going to. The label looks like it is made of black duct tape, the printing is gold. The text is justified.
My online grocery order arrived this morning so maybe I could whip something up, Fish fingers' on a bed of well soaked golden brown onions, seasoned with Cerebos table salt and lavished with squeezy bottle tomato sauce.
Heretic!
The first thing to do though, is to open the top (not cork) and pour the contents through me Vinturi Aerator that fits neatly in to my big "air-to-wine-surface-ratio" decanter. Let it sit for, I don't know... a couple of hours, then imbibe.

[Wine@decanter.]This bad boy has been decanting since about 14:30. I'm even going to drink it out of a stemmed vessel.
The colour is like blood, or some type of coloured filter that stops 90% of visible light passing through... smells good (How professional! unlike the bottle of red I left on my desk in the sun when I went to Christchurch last week - smelled like vinegar when I opened it.)
Tastes pretty refined I must admit. With hindsight, probably better paired with something other than a handful of fucking walnuts.
It's good.
Damn, it's really good.
I want to share it with someone. (No, I don't)
It would make the experience better I think. (Arse it would)

Altruistic imbibing. (Fuck Dolphins)
Get yourself a bottle. Enjoy it.
