She Blinded Me With "Rocket Science"
Attention, all scientists, mathematicians, and wine geeks
 
Rocket ScienceWe want to celebrate the arrival of one of our newest, smartest and coolest wines.  It's Rocket Science from Napa Valley's Caldwell Vineyard.  The price is $39.99.  Here is some information regarding this extraordinary wine.
 
32% Syrah
32% Cabernet Sauvignon
30% Merlot
3% Cabernet Franc
3% Petit Verdot
 
Dark garnet, black cherry, fresh blackberry, pipe tobacco and vanilla aromas lead with spicy sage, savory and green herbs supporting. The flavors strike a balance between red fruity flavors and clove and vanilla sweet spices with earthy undertones adding a further dimension of depth and complexity.
 
From the back label of the bottle:
 
"Son, you're 21 years old.  It's time you learned the art of wine tasting."
 
"I already know how to taste wine," replied the sure young man.
"This wine has an inky, purple hue with a sensational purity, flavors of a blackberry liquer with a creme de cassis intensity and finishes outrageously rich."
 
"I'm impressed," said the father.
 
"Well, it's not exactly Rocket Science."
 
"That's where you're wrong, my boy.  This is indeed Rocket Science."
