c'est fantastique

The stalwart [livejournal.com profile] palecur gave me some of this as a birthday gift, and it is the best dark chocolate i've ever had. The fact that it was made exclusively with Ecuadorian chocolate is but a bonus. He claims he found it at Trader Joe's, so go forth and seek it.

wine review

The stupendous [livejournal.com profile] anotherdave gifted me a bottle of Van Der Heyden 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon. The bouquet is intense and almost wants to suggest that the wine is fortified. The flavor is great up front, smooth yet complex, but it seems to flag a bit at the end. Also, we've had trouble pairing it with food or dark chocolate; it seems to actively fight with the other flavors, leaving the food a mess, the chocolate dull, and the wine acrid. It's definitely a curious trait. VDH also boasts a late harvest cabernet sauvignon which purchase i am greatly awaiting.

I seem to have acquired the habit of calling people "the [adjective] [name]". I know i picked it up somewhere. I can't figure it out. This realization is a mental itch i cannot scratch.

This doesn't mean i'll stop, mind you.
