The lovely Mrs. Gammons and your humble correspondent just whipped up and polished off a delicious dinner -- shrimp and scallops mornay with savory rice and a decent, affordable bottle of chardonnay. The wine label touted its contents as having tones of "light oak, soft citrus, and LINGERING PEAR." (Their screaming caps, not mine.)
The vinter was not screaming for nothing. It was very pear-y. And it did linger. As a matter of fact, it's lingering still and refuses to leave. I enjoyed the wine, but it's time for the pears to go home now.
(For the record, said bottle was from the Revelry Winery of Walla Walla, Wash.)
