Being that Valentine's Day just passed, it got me thinking...
...about...kissing!
Kissing might be my favorite thing in the world. Of course, with a good kisser, otherwise it could be a torturous experience.
It really comes down to chemistry; the right pressure[or should I say "lack" of pressure].
You know what I'm saying. Have you ever had anyone push so hard on your mouth your teeth hurt? You just wanted to scream,"OH MY GOD, make it STOP!"
Conversely, the perfect soft, tender, truly edible kisses make me whisper,"please don't stop.."
Are you wondering where I'm going with all this?
Ahhh, wine...naturally!
There are certain wines that have a mouthfeel so distinct it's like that kiss...
You will never forget it!
There's a whole lot of people who judge a wine purely on this. It feels that good! If it has that sexy, silky something going on people can overlook the absence of other needed characteristics. [Hmmmm, getting the similarities?]
Recently, I had the 2005 Duel by Darioush. It blew me away! It had all those textural elements I love, but with dark fruit... and chocolate... and balance.....
with a mouthfeel to die for.
This wine was so velvet-y, I struggled to swallow. I just wanted to hold onto it...let it linger.
Have you ever been cheek to cheek with a freshly shaved, amazing smelling man? And your sniffing and kissing and feeling and just loving every second so much so you almost hope it doesn't progress? You never want it to end?
That's what I got from this wine.
Most every wine Darioush makes has this magical something. If you are ever in Napa, it is an experience not to be missed.
And if you're missing the whole kissing thing?
Walk down the road of wine and mouthfeel with Darioush.
