I've left plenty of bread crumbs in these threads so if he really wanted to, he should have been able to track me down. And I was the one who caused him to explode one of the last times and get kicked out (brought back one last time) so I'm a little surprised I never found him pacing outside my bedroom window. Honestly, if he really did try to track down others outside of these boards, he should have never been let back into the community even once. He had more second chances than anyone should.
I remember when I figured out PapaG's real name and posted it on here and he flipped. It was hilarious.
So, on NYE I was perusing our wine collection to find something to pair with the dinner I was making, and wouldn't you know it we happened to have a bottle of this. We must have tasted it at Tamarack in June. At first taste, I thought it was a little bitter. Then I paired it with some cheese and it was quite good. It really brought out some of the other tastes to the front of your palate. Perhaps my palate is not very developed. We must have liked it when we tasted it or I am sure we would not have had a bottle of it (unless it came in a wine club shipment). I sort of recall the tasting room attendant giving us a taste of something more reserved.
I remember when he SENT me his real name and I accused me of stalking him when I called him by his first name in a post.
Well my tastes aren't always appreciated by others (and that goes way past wine). I love super reductive ferment Syrah's and green pepper tasting Carmenere. I really love that Counoise but it's a different wine for sure. There are certain flavors that are best the first time you taste them, and others that grow on you, and build to a crescendo of savory bliss. I tend to go for the unique and interesting over the immediate enjoyment. I'd rather have a savory crepe with spinach, ham and gruyere over a dessert crepe of Nutella and banana. That's not to say Nutella and banana aren't great, just not my jazz. When tasting 25-100 wines a week, the awkward becomes the awesome. For good or bad.
She just got back into town, I'll see her on Sunday. Not planning on pushing it after all, but open to it if the moment seems right. Just don't want to fuck up my social circle. Besides, got a date with a 36 year old middle school teacher I met, whose not too involved with any of my circles.
Damn, she teaches jr high? Going into it you know she's got patience, she also probably doesn't take any bullshit.
