What kind of wine would your Favorite Fictional Character drink?

I know what you are thinking why bother with such a topic that doesn’t really matter.  My answer is becuase it is fun and light hearted ( and who couldn’t use a little fun).  Have you ever wondered what type of wine your favorite super hero would drink?  Or what kind of wine your favorite movie character or character from your favorite novel would drink ?  Maybe they wouldn’t drink wine at all (this would be a shame).  This question came to mind recently for no apparent reason.  However, we can all relate to certian fictional characters and, you never know maybe the wine they would like might be something you would like.

If we are speaking about super heros my thought is that if they have two identities ( a mild manner side and the super hero side)  they probably have two different wines they perfer.  This would not only help to disgise there identities but also help to better define each of there identities.  An example would be Batman.  As Bruce Wayne I could see him drinking a champagne from Dom Perignon or a Chateau Mouton Rothschild from Bordeaux.  This would show those around him that he has class, taste, and money.  However, as Batman I could see him drinking something like a Pinot Noir  since Noir means black in French. (Thanks John).  This is just a example, but as you can see the personality of the character and even what they do or there upbringing could play a role in what they pour into there glass.  I believe the same is true for other Fictional characters in literature and film.

So the next time you get ready to sit down and read or turn on a movie disect your characters a little and come up with a wine you think they would like based on what you know of them.  Then try to find that kind of wine and pour yourself a glass.  It may help you better connect to the characters.  If it doesn’t than it is a good excuse to try something new and fun that you may enjoy !

Taste the difference

Here is what amazes me, you step up to a winery and ask to taste there Cabernet from 3 different vintages and sure enough you can taste the difference in each of them.  How about taking three Pinot Noirs at different price points from the same appellation pop open the corks and notice the differences.  I love the fact that every bottle you drink tells a different story and transports you to what was going on in the vineyard at the time.

What is also amazing is that you can line up different bourbons, tequilas, (insert your favorite spirits) from different producers and price points and taste the differences.  For so long I thought they all tasted the same.  However, when you take the time to stop and truly taste you can tell all of the nuances you were missing.  Lets be honest if everything tasted the same from each vintage year or within a certain price point what would the joy be of trying something new.  So remember to always try something new you never know what you might find!
