- Botafogo - 08-14-2003 http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/10/magazine/10SPAIN.html If Einstein had been a chef! - Kcwhippet - 08-14-2003 So, what wine pairs with vinegar foam? - Botafogo - 08-14-2003 Every third or fourth bottle of Cotturi.... - Thomas - 08-14-2003 Correction, Roberto, every bottle of Coturri is vinegar foam... - dananne - 08-14-2003 Uh, oh. I was talked into buying the 2000 Coturri Chauvet Vineyards Sonoma Zinfandel from a local wine merchant that I had heretofore trusted. Have not opened it yet. Hmmm. Really that bad? - Botafogo - 08-14-2003 No, Tony Coturri is the Miles Davis (or João Augusto) of wine: when he is good he is great but when he is bad he is VERY VERY bad. The wines are all natural and unfiltered and maybe one in fifteen goes apeshit in the bottle and turns into SPARkLING vinegar foam with chunks. BUT we have sold hundreds of cases of the Albarello with less than 2% failure rates.... Your merchant was, in fact, telling you that HE trusts you: you are a big boy now and can playin the big leagues where not everything is homogenous. Roberto - dananne - 08-14-2003 Thanks, Roberto, for the reassurance. My merchant even special ordered it for me, based upon his take on my taste profile -- guess it's nice I'm in the "big leagues." You do realize that now I'll be thinking of Joao Augusto when I drink that wine [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
