So, I was given this bottle as a belated birthday present.

Nice.

I never told anyone I had my birthday on that fateful Jan 28th day, so expected nothing, the universe in all its glory reciprocated. And gave me nothing.

My facebook posts illustrated this too.

I wasn't checking. Honest.

Any-ha-ways.

The "Syrah".

As you may know, not a favourite of mine. With the exception of the Matakana that I received once as a leaving present. That shit was amazing. And. I shared it with an ex-girlfriend who left NZ to get married and "spend the rest of her life in japan". The company was great, the stories bold, and the nostalgia in real-time. I almost shed a tear at what I had lost. And didn't.

The dinner we had following was amazing courtesy of a local Italian restaurant, one I had walked past often and never stepped foot inside. The mood was great, the food fine, and the wine available only increased the vibe.

We talked and laughed, and we reminisced, it was true;y a night devoid of bullshit self imposed stigmata, devoid of "what ifs", and devoid of bullshit... it was nice.

Now.

The Syrah.

It was the opposite of this night.

It was horrible, not the Matakana, don't get mixed up now...

The Esk Valley.

If I described life in in basic it would read...

10 Print " do you like esk valley syrah 2010"
20 input y/n
30 if y then print "vomit"
40 if n then print "vomit"
50 end

or something like that...

peace.

minions.
