Like a dust devil of love notes, this Zinfandel has all the glorious taste of Friday night on the couch with a bowl of ravioli and old episodes of Bored To Death.
“Bored to death, plus expenses…”
I always had the hardest time deciphering the lyrics to the theme music so I looked them up.
“Bored to death, kanab and lonely”, that’s what it sounds like but it’s actually, “Bored to death, cut, mad and lonely.”
Ok, but for realz, this is a very nice Zinfandel from Dark Horse.
Creamy and full of oak. Jammy with dark fruit, leather and spice. Oh yes, it’s all of those things plus 14.5% alcohol. I had three glasses and gave the stinky little dog a bath before the Xavier got home from work.
No headache but, on Saturday morning, I did kinda wish that I had stopped at two glasses.
I used to drink almost a full bottle every night until, quite abruptly, I stopped. Well, the doctor did have a say in the matter and this time I listened. Now, my habit is to have one glass a night and leave wanting more. It’s tough, but I do look forward to 5 o’clock. Nowadays, 3 glasses would probably lay me flat out! 🙂 Enjoy.
Yeah… 3 glasses is a little much for me. 1 – 2 leaves me in a happier place when morning rolls around, not to mention being easier on the bank account!
