It's lovely to try, taste, (spit), drink, talk about wine... It's wonderful to have a job that lets you do that all day.
I'm swimming in samples and wine notes but I've got a headache from the endless financial figures and from doubting my palate. I want to write a beautiful winelist. One with enough safe, go-to options for the timid (and too timid to ask advice) but with enough quirky, boutique finds for those that can and will. One that spans the globe and showcases the best of home. And one that inspires celebrations and memories.
So happy and stressed and happily (some might say), tipsy-ly stressed.
Here's one I can't decide on
Domaine Georges Michel 'La Reserve' Marlborough Chardonnay 2005
Tinned peaches and savoury cashew nose with the vanilla sweetness of new french oak. The palate has classical nuances of Chablis-like undergrowth alongside ripe stonefruit and a grainy lemon finish. Long but a little too intellectual.

Sarah,
It's impossible to please all people all the time. I think go for quality, quirk and brevity for the main list and have a backup tome for the truly sick and determined. . .
