Communicating with a close mate, need not be a thing of many laboured words. In  fact, the bonds of friendship can make sense of even the most incomprehensible of utterings, even those as mad as my own. The uttering which would lead me to this review was the ever fondly held and often heard battle cry of students everywhere, "Pint?". One problem, it wasn't actually a pint I ended up having. 

Quinta De Chocapalha, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2006

Thesis bound, an hour to spare and name signed, freedom. Well, of sorts, Celebrations would have to wait, I had work. A chance I used to ponder what would be popped open. As my thoughts wandered and the evening waned, as did I. Having initially thought of opening a special bottle of New Zealand bubbles, I began to entertain the thought, I might just end up knocking off after a glass owing to how tired I was? 

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate

So, we all like chocolate right? I remember a few years ago where it seemed everyone in the wine industry did anyway. You couldn't turn a corner without somebody telling you about the most hedonistic and 'chocolaty' ... come to think of it maybe Robert Parker had something to do with it.

Secrets De Chai, Saumur Blanc, 2010

Chenin Blanc, one of the wine worlds real under dogs. Disregarded by many with out a second thought. Written off without a chance, a bit like the blues was. Why the comparison? Well, I'm listening to the blues right now. And having just knocked in my final year project, a report on working memory and wine, I have stumbled on the multiple effects of music on wine perceptions and if I wanted to pair this wine with music, it'd B.B. King.
