Since we launched Vinismo a few months ago, I've been watching the world of wine blogging with great interest. One thing I really like is Wine Blogging Wednesday, wherein wine bloggers around the world pick a topic or theme and all blog about wines that match that theme, once a month.
On Wednesday. Thus the name. I'm surprised I have to explain this.
Anyhoo, this months theme is just seven words: the reviews of wines have to be exactly seven words long. I figured, heck: if I'm ever gonna do a WBW review, this has gotta be the easiest to do. Oh, and the wine theme was reds from Italy, which may be the easiest drinking wines in the entire world.
So: Niko picked up a bottle of 2005 Pio Cesare Barbera d'Alba before coming over to our house last night, and we had a glug while doing some floor puzzles with Amita June. My impression?
Earthy, melon, medium-bodied; needs sharp cheese.
Woo-hoo! Now I'm a real wine blogger.
