  • 23.3% - Leather. How does that even happen? 329
  • 32.6% - Tobacco. No, thank you. 460
  • 2.1% - An exotic fruit. If I can’t place it, I don’t want to be drinking it! 29
  • 14.3% - Chocolate. Not in wine, people. 202
  • 2.1% - Not in wine. Some other flavor I’ll mention in the comments. 29
  • 25.7% - Monkey brains. Don’t ask me why I know what they taste like. 362

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Chilled monkey brains!

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom reference there. Although it does make a delightful note in a wine.

Cat pee in Sav Blancs & mustard greens in Petite Verdot.

Ditto the petrol/diesel & tar distillate, too.

"We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy." Benjamin Franklin

Petroleum in Rieslings and "barnyard" in Rhones. (Although I'm getting used to the petroleum.)

Bought some once that the guy said had a "whif of petroleum" ...questioned that. It was basically a bottle of Kerosene.

Yeah, the corked 'dirty saddle' flavor is definitely no good. I'm still... not sure about 'leather'. I can't identify tobacco for poop, so that's whatever.

If it tastes like Petroleum, I have no desire to drink it again... or dare say, enough times to "get used to it". Please, do share the label so I can avoid it :-)

I'm slightly curious. What does wet concrete taste like? Who felt so inspired to slap some in their mouth and sip, swirl.... oops.
Also, is it markedly different from dry or cured concrete?

Pencil lead is graphite; it has no smell. Cedar on the other hand...

I have to disagree with you on pencil 'lead' having no aroma. Graphite does have a faint mineral-like odor and it's not the only ingredient in pencil 'lead'. I can definitely pick up the distinct odor while drawing with pencil.

That over done, almost fake oak flavor in Chardonnay's such as Firestone. Can't stand it.
