Today is February 16th. And first of all, Happy Birthday to Mom! (Not that she listens to these, because if she did, she might wonder where she went wrong).
Speaking of fine ladies, on this day in 1883, the “Ladies Home Journal” begins publishing.
That’s right! I figured it was time to get in touch with my feminine side, so I took a little jaunt over to the Ladies Home Journal website. There, I found the online Quiz: What Wine Are You?
And after answering 10 questions that didn’t necessarily apply to my gender, it was determined that I was a Zinfandel, which I thought was kinda cool since I’ve always thought of Zinfandel as a manly, John Wayne-type of wine.
Perhaps the question about how often I shaved my legs gave me away, because they did say I was spicy and sassy!
That brings us to our Wine Word of the Day: “Zinfandel”
Wait. We did that word back on August 30th. Hold on. Let me pause the recorder while I retake the quiz again. In the meantime, check out the video for the Paso Robles Zinfandel Festival in today’s show notes. It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while.
Okay, so I took the test again. This time I purposely answered all the questions like I never showered, never cleaned the house, and only wanted to spend my free time hiking. Now the quiz results say that I’m an “Organic Viognier,” which I thought was weird since Viognier is pretty elegant. But I get the organic part, since that can be a pretty rustic attribute in some wines. We haven’t done “Viognier” as a Wine Word of the Day yet, but it’s gonna have to wait, because we are out of time.
So this brings us to our Wine Word of the Day: Finish
“Finish” is the description given to the lingering aromas and flavors of the wine after it is swallowed. If the finish tastes good. That’s good. If the finish shows complexity (meaning that the flavors kinda change even after the wine has been swallowed), that’s great. But if the finish tastes good, is complex, and lasts for 30-seconds or longer, you could be experiencing an amazing wine!
Which is unlike this podcast, which is finishing rather quickly, and with no complexity whatsoever.
