| New Doug's definitions: Syrah - Bourdeaux style Should have said Napa interpretation of Bourdeaux varietal styles  Lighter, delicate fruit profile (instead of a fruit bomb), integrated acids/tannins, and when they get it right silky, sensuous mouth-feel. No - chewy, earthy, over-the-top fruit with high alcohol. The best "experience" tasting wine in my life has been with these kind of syrahs. Other varietals have tasted better, but OMG, syrah can be like $ex in a glass for me! |

| One of my all time favorite topics ...
Especially when it comes to secondary characteristics of Bordeaux ....
Comment # 1 .... this tastes of leather ....
My comment .... go to a furniture store a lick a couch
Comment # 2 .... this smells like tobacco and cigar box
My comment ..... I have never had a Cuban cigar that tastes this bad
Comment # 3 ... this will take 20 years to come around
My comment: If the grapes were ripe enough in the first place it would not take that long |

| Wow! This thread is surreal. The very concept of the thread so flies in the face of all wine-loving logic that it boggles the mind. The overt political bent of it is simply hilarious. There is so much here, so much good theater. Made better for being people's honest thoughts? I don't know, but totally amusing nonetheless. |

You need to know/ understand Golf&PinotNut, ( loves to stir the pot just for fun) and how this thread was in reaction to others back so many years ago. |

| I can see a bit of that in here, and was quite aware that this is a very old thread, but regardless, just reading along and seeing the flow of the "conversation" here was quite interesting and amusing. |

I like French fashion, wine, and bugatti, if we're talking cars. French women... eh. I'll gladly take a czech girl... Or even Spanish or Italian over them any day.

| FWIW, I get that the OP is some sort of joke, although an odd one that leaves me, now knowing the poster better, uncertain as to whether his actual feelings are opposite the statements or whether there is some kernel of truth. But the surreal part comes from things like this: quote: Originally posted by fine137:
I spend a good deal of time in France on business and I do, in general despise the French. I have met many and liked few. Really, they are just unpleasant people. Deep down they are jealous of the U.S and it disturbs them to the point of reaction formation, a psychological term which basically means hate what you are subconciously drawn to. Ultimately, the French
want to matter on a global scale, but sadly they don't and never will.
Also French wine really is quite bad with few exceptions. One of them being Sauternes.
Perhaps this too is sarcasm, but if so it comes across rather poorly in this sort of communication. Lots of amusement, as I said. Glad someone dug this up. Also interesting to look back at old price quotes. |

| i agree with this thread,
yesterday i was going to buy a chardonnay at my lws, looking for chocàlan or something like this, so i ask an employee.
NO MORE he said to me, so he advice me a chardonnay from France, then i said : they made chardonnay in France???
so imagine the surprise, les clous 2009 from an unknown producer de vilains, it was horrible: no corn flavor, acid, mineral and just a bit buttery, and the most horrible part of it, it was dry, just like G&pn said, so i ask for a refund.
beware of french wines. No good at all. |
