Isabel Sauvignon blanc 2008
Marlborough, New Zealand. Sauvignon blanc. 13.5% Screwcap. Approx $A25.
July 5 and at least four things collide. Infection (I would assume H1N1 / Swine flu), children, work and wine. I think Ogden Nash put it best:
Isabel met a troublesome doctor,I can't decide if the wine smells of a sweaty armpit or a bowl of fruit salad. Either way its delicious and entirely appropriate for a mid morning birthday party. Not having tried an Isabel SB for over 5 years, this seems to have more flesh, texture and saltiness than I can recall.
He punched and he poked till he really shocked her.
The doctor's talk was of coughs and chills
And the doctor's satchel bulged with pills.
The doctor said unto Isabel,
Swallow this, it will make you well.
Isabel, Isabel, didn't worry,
Isabel didn't scream or scurry.
She took those pills from the pill concoctor,
And Isabel calmly cured the doctor.
Very good.
