Bauernwein Bianco

Tastes like a large bottle of slightly crap table wine.

But, in case that’s too vague, I’ll try to elaborate.

You know when you’re with a friend and one of you has brought a bottle of wine to drink and neither of you know if it’s any good? And so you open it and you both take the first sip?

Right. So then your friend says “Well, it’s not bad,” and you nod.

But there’s a funny emphasis on the word “bad” that’s akin to your Mother meeting your girlfriend and saying: “Well, darling, I’m glad she’s not selling herself on the street anymore,” and somehow it doesn’t feel that good inside.

And so you say: “Isn’t that what Granny said about you when you first met?” and you both laugh, realising that we all get through life with our flaws and foibles and that we take what comes to us as it may and do our best to stick it through to the end and make something good out of what’s been given to us, however small.

And you say: “At least in comes in a large bottle.”

And your Mother says: “What, darling? I don’t quite understand.”

And your friend says: “Hey, you were just talking to yourself again.”

And everything gets a bit surreal.

Well, that’s like this wine.
