I think I’ve mentioned the excellent and interesting Apothic Inferno, which we had for Christmas dinner. And also I mention Hahn GSM, another blend, very pleasant. And Apothic Dark has an interesting taste that I really like, but The Wife does not. Tonight I opened a bottle of Apogthic Crush and I think it’s wonderful.
I like what Apothic seems to do: use the fact that the wine is a blend to do things you cannot do with a varietal, tastes and contrasts not available in a single wine.
I’m quite won over, and I highly recommend Apothic Crush. Google for those who are fortunate enough to live in states with online sales.
I think I like it when a blend embraces the fact that it’s a blend and sees what it can do with that, rather than a blend that tries to approximate some varietal. Let’s stretch the envelope!
Same thing with synthetic shaving brushes: I think they took their great leap forward when they stopped trying to imitate natural fibers and instead see what they could do with a synthetic, embracing its syntheticness. -osity.
