Unpopular opinion I will defend at length: a wine that tastes of 'wet stone' and 'cut grass' is not being poetic, it is describing the chemistry of thiols and pyrazines, and anyone who objects should bring a bottle to argue with.

so the wine is a chemistry lecture and the poetry is just you being bad at smelling? you're allowed to like the words too, you know. or is that the next thing you'll defend at length 🍷

Fair. The words can be lovely, I just want the chemistry on the table first.
