Years ago when I was in the liquor industry I attended a wine tasting event for Australian wines. If anyone was ever been to one of these you grade the wine by clarity (color), nose (aroma), and taste. Well to me the Aussie wines had good color, but the aroma was that of a wet dog and the taste was that of what I imagined latrine water would taste like. In other words I was not impressed by Australian wines.
Now you are asking what the hell was that all about?
New Zealand in 6 years of research spent $12 million dollars to determine the taste of their signature Sauvignon Blanc. The finally results after all that research was that the wine had hints of passion flower, asparagus and cat’s pee. Yep you read that right….Cat’s Pee!
I felt bad about the terrible rating that I gave the Aussie wines and now I know I was pretty accurate in my assessment.
Cat piss? I guess that explains the latrine water taste 🙂
They could have given me a million and saved time and money…….
I guess it doesn’t really matter what it taste like to some people as long as they get the effect they are looking for……….to forget………..D’
