Allegory
Calabretta
Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2006
Hadn't picked this as my Welcome to Apocalypse, Inauguration Day wine, but then I hadn't anticipated going to 2Amys for mid-day drinking either. Now both seem wonderfully appropriate. There is this lovely tar note to this wine always that reminds me of Richard Pryor in Superman III (or was it IV?) where he's trying to find the last ingredient in kryptonite to kill Superman and flubs it and uses "tar" and it doesn't kill Superman but just makes him really, really mean. Maybe not a perfect allegory but somehow it fits? — 9 years ago

Ode to Lulu California Old Vine Rosé Blend 2014
The '14 is still going strong. Like its namesake allegory, this wine is one of the more age worthy rosés. A cornucopia of fruit essences, bundled with great energy and focus. — 9 years ago

Limited by 6300 bottles: elegant, stylish and slender pink (dry rosé) Flamingo. Fabulous allegory!
Colour of salmony rose, caressing eye.
Aromas of lily, jasmine, wild strawberry, wild cherry, creamy cranberry interlacing each other with light herbacious & grapefuit nuances.
Very well balanced (14% ABV!) palate with crispy acidity, light body and lovely minerality. Soft, bit oily, scented by barberry, red currant, ashberry, hawthorn.
Fresh finish with zesty ashberry bitterness.
Paired to halibut fillet baked with herbs, cheese and red caviar . — 10 years ago
