一杯翠綠霸王花
大部份男士都十分抗拒白葡萄酒。會不會是因為普遍男性的身體，都是偏於鹼性，而白葡萄酒中的酸性，會讓他們覺得不舒服？但多數的男士都不抗拒滴滴金酒莊。可能真的是因為滴滴金夠甜。
也有一些男酒迷從來也不碰白葡萄，獨孤一味只喝紅。大部分的理由是喜歡紅酒的酒體豐滿、質地厚重。一般白葡萄酒口感都是比較單薄，他們覺得沒勁。
發現了一個大隻妙：天馬羅素白葡萄酒。又是一個山旮旯、瀕臨絕種的葡萄；有心人華爾特.瑪莎 在80年代努力培植及不斷提倡下復活過來。古道熱腸的夢特巴拉酒莊當然也當仁不讓啦！熱愛保育傳統的馬龍度家族也支持保育天馬羅素葡萄，推出了天馬羅素。
一開瓶蓋，一股澳洲啤梨的香氣轟炸過來。晃一下酒杯，腦海里出現了一大堆綠色的水果：青檸、麝香瓜、蕃石榴皮、蘋果、雪梨、沙梨、水晶梨的香氣尤為特出，中段有杏仁、榛子的堅果味，當中輕輕夾雜一些火石和石墨。口感綿滑，余韻和回甘長得嚇人！她比她的鄉里：安納斯白酒更適合配意大利火腿。
上周五開了一瓶喝不完。存至今天她仍然清新可喜、芬芳馥郁。我估計她的窖藏潛力有15至20年。
我們蜓家人迷信，這陣子的狂風暴雨，是為了清洗街道，迎接各類神袛的來臨。諸如天后誕、洪聖誕、北帝誕、譚公誕等等。我在想下週的天后誕，用天馬羅素取代雙蒸米酒來供奉天后娘娘。自己也可以享受脆皮燒腩骨，配搭這個虎背熊腰妙曼白酒 ！
A Glass of Emerald Green
Most men are very resistant to white wine. Could it be that men's bodies are generally alkaline, and the acidity in white wine makes them feel uncomfortable? But most men don’t resist Chateau D‘Yquem. Maybe it’s really because of its sweetness.
There are also some male wine lovers who never touch white grapes and only drink red wine. Most of the reasons are that they like the full body and thick texture of red wine. Generally, white wine is comparatively light bodied and not powerful enough.
Discovered a great thing: Timorasso white wine. Another grape on the verge of extinction; it was revived through hard work and constant advocacy by a dedicated man named Walter Massa in the 1980s. Of course, Montalbera Winery, which is a hot spot on the ancient trail, also does its part! The Morando family, who loves preserving traditions, also supports the preservation of the Timorasso grape and launched the Timorasso label.
As soon as I opened the bottle cap, the aroma of Australian pear bombarded me. Swirling the wine glass, a lot of green fruits appeared in my mind: Lime, muskmelon, guava peel, apple. The aroma of quince, brown quince and Japanese crystal quince is particularly outstanding, with a nutty flavor of almond and hazelnut in the middle, lightly mixed with some flint and graphite. The finish is smooth and the aftertaste are amazingly long! It goes better with prosciutto than her folk Arneis white wine.
I opened a bottle last Friday, and today it is still very aromatic and pleasant. I anticipate a 15 to 20 years of cellaring potential.
We, the Tanka, are superstitious. The violent storms these days are to clean the streets and welcome the arrival of various gods and goddess. Such as Tin Hau, Hong Sing, Bei Emperor's Birthday, Tam Kung's Birthday and so on. I'm thinking about the Tina Hau Festival next week, offering Timorasso instead of double distilled rice wine to worship the Tin Hau. I can also enjoy the suckling roasted pork belly, paired with this sturdy 、burly white wine!
