Comments on: Which Wine Would Feature in The Movie of Your Life? http://www.wineoftheweek.co.uk/2009/02/04/is-tokaji-the-most-featured-wine-in-movie-history/ The Wine Blog of Choice for the Vanguard of the Wine Revolution Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:08:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Jerry http://www.wineoftheweek.co.uk/2009/02/04/is-tokaji-the-most-featured-wine-in-movie-history/#comment-52 Jerry Sun, 01 Mar 2009 17:49:31 +0000 http://wineoftheweek.co.uk/?p=650#comment-52 Again, it would have to be Tokaji Eszencia, the free run juice of the shriveled grapes. Over the last two years, I've had an incredible experience not only tasting this wine, but researching a particular bottle of it as well. Now, I'm working on a short story/book with the details, which are too lengthy to mention here. As Hugh Johnson/Jancis Robinson stated in their "World Atlas of Wine" (6th edition), Tokaji, more than any other wine, rightly deserves the title of Legend. Perhaps I'll be buried with the bottle I'm researching, or at least a photo of it. Again, it would have to be Tokaji Eszencia, the free run juice of the shriveled grapes.

Tasted delicious (then), left you with a splitting hangover and washed down a plate of grilled crayfish a treat. Many happy memories!

For those light and fruity moments, a nice bottle of Demoiselle Brut.

Then along came the big beefy shiraz which was my first love and the deep dark blackberry cabernet of the Barossa which featured heavily in my sunny year in oz. These days I have grown to love the softer touch of a nz pinot and the smoothness of a good Bordeaux and generally anything that Gavino brings round to dinner!

Delicious, but then again have you ever tried Croatian red? Bloody awful, thankfully it washed away the taste of the food (mainly cheap cuts of donkey - 'you can have it anyway you like as long as it's stewed') which was even worse .
