Red Bicyclette Merlot 2004 (French)
Here is what Jackie had to say (and I most certainly agree)This wine is quite dry, and once it hits the back of your tongue it has a sour aftertaste. It has a “punch,” so to speak, in the way that if you have a taste after a little break, you tend to snap your head back and exclaim “Wow!” It was different from some of the other wines we’ve tried, but definitely in a good way.
Rating: 8/10
He who loves not wine, women and song remains a fool his whole life long.
– Martin Luther, 1777Drink wine, and you will sleep well. Sleep, and you will not sin. Avoid sin, and you will be saved. Ergo, drink wine and be saved.
– Medieval German sayingDrink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
– 1 Timothy, 5:23Bacchus we thank who gave us wine
Which warms the blood within our veins;
That nectar is itself divine.
The man who drinks not, yet attains
By godly grace to human rank
Would be an angel if he drank.
