This is why we need drugs legalized, and fast. When people can run down to the local QuickTrip and score some hydrocodone, it will no longer be necessary for mankind to seek relaxation with the aid of pretentiously described rotten fruit juices.

#1 I had to reread the article and your comment to realize that you meant pencils not poo. Part of the confusion is that I rarely use a number 2 pencil – I use the letter equivalent HB. The smell of pencils is quite pleasant but I don’t necessarily want my food and drink to smell like that. I love the smell of Play-Doh but I don’t want to eat it.

If I change my handle to “(B)oscoH, Yogurt Eater & Wine Taster”, Radley will have to confirm me again. He is busy enough writing his book that we are getting tastes of the finer things on his blog. I will let him stay busy and stick with yogurt for the time being.

P.S. Excellent review. I could pick up a bottle of the latter and recite that verbatim and sound authoritative.

the wine exhibited the pleasant and distinct aroma of pencil lead

Wow… I guess our olfactory sensibilities are somewhat different. I rarely take a sniff of my #2 and say, “Wow, I really wish there were more foods that smelled like that!”
