Thinking about New Year’s?

Consider this: Résonance, all pinot noir bubbly from a single estate vineyard.

Ultra dry, yet interlaced with lustrous notes of peach, minerals and persistent attitude ($57).

Soif Wine Bar.

Persistant attitude, wow.

I’ve experienced attitude, even a lot of attitude.

Now persistent attitude, and it comes with a whine.

Who knew?

Then drink it and tell us about attitude in a wine, and not whine about it

Are you buying? because attitude just doesn’t sound as appealing to me in a sparkler (or anything else for that matter) as much as perhaps petulance does? Yes, petulance with a little french accent, c’est presque parfait!

Okay - I’ll take “petulance” for $500. I originally chose “attitude” because of the implication of persistent personality, a refusal to go gently into that good flute, or whatever else you’re sipping from.

But LDR is convincing here, and I will boldly borrow his petulant bon mot in the future. Unless “attitude” is the better choice.

bonne année!

Ok. I love attitude in wine…so much of it now and in the past,–merlot before Sidways took care of it, have a bad case of blandness, ie., no personality. Wines with attitude which I define as complexity of sort are interesting to drink; the reason, I see it, to drink it in the first place.
