/ck/ - Food & Cooking

We've got like 3 or 4 wine threads up already, but I guess I'm ok with this. Could do without the forced edgy.

I don't buy into the seasonality of wine nonsense, except to the extent that my food changes somewhat per the season.
>What about you fucking faggots?
This week I've been drinking dry brachetto, young nebbiolo, and second-tier amontillado.

I drank a fair amount of gruner back when it was a meme, honestly I never really saw the appeal. I just drank it to fit in. Honestly for southeast european wine there are much more interesting grapes.

What do brachetto, nebbiolo, and amontillado taste like i've never had them before?

Yes, forced edgy, as in swearing to fit in. I guess because you feel that you can make wine more nonthreatening to the memesters of 4chan by putting swear words in your post.

Anyway it depends on vinification, the brachetto I had was clear, light, and smelled like flowers. The nebbiolo was also fairly light as nebbiolo goes but with more tannins than the brachetto for sure. You may be more familiar with wines like "barolo" and "barbaresco" which are made with nebbiolo grapes.

Amontillado is off-dry, and tastes like nuts and dried fruit. If you are getting into sherry for the first time I'd suggest you look into manzanillas. Drink them slightly chilled and they should be consumed in one sitting because they are too delicate to last in the firdge.
