Justino Madeira

Justino's Madeira Verdelho: ten years old.

Not very sweet. Kind of bitter, actually. Maybe I should avoid dry port. Watery and lifeless. Sort of tastes like worms and oak. A clear, wimpy brown. Lemon? Really? Seems weird to taste lemon in it. Harsh. Drinkable, and gets me drunk fast. More medicinal than pleasurable. Tastes red and purple. Mostly yellow. Burns.

This is an angry dwarf, who wants to fight me, but I can't take him seriously. He wants me to fight, but instead I laugh and tell him to sit down and relax. He won't. He really wants to fight me, and it's kind of embarrassing. He grows on you, after a while, but there's always that irritating sense that he's a jerk, even if we are starting to get friendly with each other.

  1. It tasted like sweetened rubbing alcohol. Do not buy.

  2. Please blog on the makings of a perfect martini, if you like, of course...For me, a martini has to be really, really dirty. The more olive juice, the better.
