Trentham Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2004 (>$20 from Safeway Supermarket) Mish: so like, are you drinking that cab sav... ahhemm merlot? Fox: the what? Mish: the wine that was open on the bench? Fox: yeh! Mish: good, cos it's hard to do wine tasting when I just drink all of it on my own. Fox: drunk! so, what do you think? Mish: um.. think? ah.. it tastes good with meatball pizza* Fox: ha! well I think it tastes good, I give it four stars! Mish: yay! Verdict: We both liked this wine very much - and it didn't last long around here at all. Sacred Hill Shiraz Cabernet 2006 (>$20 from Safeway Supermarket) Fox: This wine smells funny. Fishy. Like cat food. Mish:*sniffs* Fox:Like.. like.. jellymeat! Mish:You're right.. it does smell like jellymeat. Fox: It doesn't taste like it though Mish:Thank god. Fox: Dear Wine Company, your wine smells like cat food. *drinks* Mish:*tips wine down sink* Verdict: Much better the next day - the strange jellymeaty smell had gone the next day and it accompanied Mish's salami, roasted capsicum and chilli pizza very well indeed. So make sure you let this wine breathe a while before consuming. * while the pizza base can carry many different toppings or combinations thereof - meatballs at no time is ever a good idea. If the meatballs are really good, they deserve a comfortable bed of spaghetti not the unforgiving surface of a pizza base. Mostly, people don't know how to make meatballs and the maker of this particular pizza was no exception - this resulted in what essentially was mince on toast (pizza base) so thank goodness the red wine helped out.
