WTN: Physics and holy wine

by Saina » Wed Jun 29, 2011 2:56 pm

Cosimo Maria Masini Vin Santo "Fedardo" 2003 - 29,50€ / 0,375 l.; 16% abv; 95 g/l RS; 6,3 g/l acidity
Finland has never seen a great amount of Vin Santos and practically all of them have been very simple sweeties, truly three dimensional at best. This Fedardo seems more like an M-theory variant: if the unification of the string theories of modern physics, M-theory, is correct, our universe has eleven dimensions, ten of space and one of time.

A lovely oxidative aroma coupled with some volatility makes it seem like a tame version of a mid-sweet Madeira (Boal or Verdelho). Sweet but wonderfully crisp, much more so that I ever dared imagine a hot year could produce. Unbudged for about a week open. The complexity of this wine makes the mathematics of string theory seem simple.

Nice note, Otto. Somehow, though, I get the impression that you have not really tried to delve deep into the intricacies of string theory...
Cheers,

Maybe he only delves into string theory when he is drinking vin santos. This is probably not a good mix. I might suggest good tea or coffee next time. :D
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

From the sounds of things, hallucinogens and string theory might be the best combination.

In any case, this sounds like a really nice wine. Haven't seen it around here but I'll be watching out for it.

That's right. I've only read a few books. So do tell me what I've misunderstood!

As always, a thought-provoking tasting note. :)
