Squaking Magpie - The Chatterer Syrah 2008

Date 28/07/13
Time 17:40
Food A mouthful of Minestrone soup in its preparation (The soup's...)
Brand Squawking Magpie
Grape Syrah
Year 2008
Price $24.99

I thought it said Shiraz on the ticket, in fact I'm sure it did, that and the relationship to one of my favourite movies, 'Hellraiser' and I thought this was a match made in heaven.

When I got home I read it properly... 'Syrah'

Gaghhhhhhhh

But the label is kind of fly. (Fly)

First taste is nice, not like that other poison I had that resembled a watery dish cloth. Quite yummy and going down well with the dinner preparation too.

Post notes laterz.

 So... yuck, didnt even finish it... maybe I should have decantered it first??? Surely Syrah can taste amaze at sub $30.00 buckie? Guess I'll keep searching...

Penfolds Bin 389 - 2010

Time 20:34
Food Beer
Brand Penfolds
Grape Cabernet Shiraz
Year 2010
Price NZ$74.99 but got it for $59.99 due to incorrect shelf price. LOL.

Yeah, so after beers and being tormented by friends in Christchurch eating deep fried squid at a restaurant called 'Foo san', I picked up this bottle, got a better price due to an incorrect ticket price so that is a score. Hard.

Pours out like ruby coloured blood and has a subtle (mature??) bouquet.

First taste... Very good.

I'm going to enjoy this...

Post notes later.

 Update 22:13

Mean... Shit. What a drop - I've been sipping this and watching youtube vids. Great vibe. Get a bottle and enjoy it. It's Gold.

The Background
This better be good, I've sprained my tendon on my left Achilles and sprained all of the toes on my right foot.

Equals fucked really. Anyways, I was trying to navigate the shop with two crutches and a basket full of red. Wasn't easy. And hurt like a bastard.

The Dastardly Act
Straight out of the bottle and in to my fine vino vessel.

First mouthful

Swish, swish...

It's ok. 

Second mouthful

I think "uninteresting" is a good adjective.

It is early though, I need to clean my kitchen and get dinner cooking... be back with the post notes later.

UPDATE 20:35

Well, bottle almost done as I was playing Skyrim (g33k), it's ok, probably good to have a bottle before going out, or whilst preparing dinner...

Not harsh, easy to drink, forgettable, yet... gets you in the zone.

Nuff said.

Avinit RED.

An oldie that I obviously missed, that OK but... whether real product or just designs ready to go - me want. want. want. want.

Sweet child of mine...

Dear Blog,

Sorry I have been away...

I was unfaithful...

and started to drink beer.

[Silence]

Actually...

Heineken.

[Gulping sound]

At a bar.

Two at a time.

Every night. And sometimes...

[Sounds of whimpering]

...by the jug.

I even applied for a loyalty card.

And got it.

[Male making remorseful sounds].

But I'm back. I'll be faithful, I will... but I'll stray.
