Is it wrong that this bothers me?

[dananne]

I'm supposedly the wine geek, and Anne supposedly could care less and only drinks the stuff (and provides most of the funding for this liquid hobby). I mean, she doesn't even glance at the issues of the monthly wine rags that arrive in the mail, doesn't read wine books, hasn't taken classes or seminars, etc. She just doesn't care about wine in any sort of intellectual or pedantic way. Yet, she constantly does stuff like this:

She asks me for a Pinot Noir this evening. I go downstairs, poke through the cellar for awhile, select one, pop it, pour it into the decanter, and bring the decanter upstairs without the bottle. I pour a glass for Anne, hand it to her, and she sniffs and takes a drink. Then she says, "It's an Acacia from Carneros."

I mean, we've got something along the lines of 200-250 Pinots in the house, from New Zealand to Willamette, from Anderson Valley to Beaune. Yet, she routinely does stuff like this. I have no idea how she does it. She couldn't even tell me what a Carneros Pinot is SUPPOSED to taste like. Still, she nailed it!

Frankly, it kinda bugs me, in a good-natured way, of course.

OK, rant over. I've gotta get back to this dandy Pinot [img]http://wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
