… in a wine’s flavor profile, there’ll be my wife/way better half, moaning like Homer Simpson at a doughnut factory.

I mentioned awhile back that since she had quit smoking last August — happy near-anniversary, darlin’! — she had developed a real ardor for smoke-laden wines, mostly syrahs.

“Essence of Marlboro.”
