Wine lists are currently the bane of human existance. I spent 5 minutes waiting for Chile's harvest report to download only to open a microsoft word file filled with gibberish Spanish. -.- Erghhh. If it was a human being, i would have promptly sat on it and squished it till it spoke in English and told me whether the harvest is worthy to be in the wine list.
What of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Nior, Pinot Grigio and Cabernet...I've still yet to fully comprehend the vastness of it all. It'll probably take me my whole life to understand and know truly what wine is what and the difference between them. The pairings with food is enough to make me pull my hair and run around like a maniac. Theres only so much that wine books can tell us about pairings. But if we're clueless as to how Farfalle alla Genovese matches Gavi (a white wine) then how are we to justify our pairings in the report?
Helppp!
The report's due on Friday and we're only 1/4 complete. Theres still the wine list, menu design, justification report and pricing to complete. On top of that I have to finish up my 5 minutes worth of French conversation with Viona thats suppose to be assessed this Thursday. Its a mad rush to the end as always and I forsee an overnight session at someone's place.
Old world, New world-Red, White, Dessert, Sparkling wine. Yes its interesting. But it also kills.
Oh gosh, i just remembered that i have a test tmr. Wow sam.
