Domaine de la Ronciere
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Sho-nuf I like my chateauneuf! Wild, floral, but muscular and strong.
Usually, I try to pay attention during wine tastings, but honestly a lot of the time I am just imagining how well I would do in American Gladiators. Especially the early 90s version. (When I was a young and impressionable kid.)
I thought Malibu was an idiot and I knew I could take him out in the jousting competition, though I was certain Nitro would bash my head in with a pipe pretty quickly. Diamond... she scared me. The intense lipstick reminded me of some horrible creature of the night in search of blood. I preferred Lace. In fact, I really preferred Lace. (The first version: Marisa Pare. Not the later Lace played by Natalie Lennox Merritt.) I imagine the reason I have a penchant for wild tangled hair now is because of my infatuation with American Gladiator Lace when I was 4-7 years old. When I was younger, I would often imagine battling with Lace. As the events got more intense she would throw herself on top of me in frustration and we'd roll down the gladiator pyramid, making out in a heap of sexual energy and wild animalistic thrusting.
But I digress.
This wine smells like Lace.

@Hillary Hochman have you had this? Brandon gave it to me along with another wine and a really nice monogrammed leather wine bottle travel case. We hoarded it until a random Thursday night last night.

Feb 10th, 2017Cherry, parsley, black pepper, with hints of ripe paprika. Not too earthy for a CdP. Still a little too young for my taste in 2017 but I will definitely come back to open another bottle in 2-3 years.
