"Harold, we appreciate what you do here at WineFancy Magazine, but we need to talk about your wine reviews."
"What do you mean, Kevin? What's the problem?"
"Well, your word selections are ... not always prudent."
"Listen, Kevin. If there's anything I know in this world, it's how to talk to people about wine."
"Here's an excerpt from your latest review: 'Featured a bready mouthfeel with an eggy undertow'."
"... And?"
"I thought it might be obvious, but we tend to stay away from words like 'eggy.' And 'undertow' just doesn't seem applicable here at all."
"Fine. What about my review from Thursday? I thought that was exactly what our readership is looking for."
"Let's see ... You wrote: 'Hints of Freon, reminiscent of childhood'."
"There you go. Totally relatable."
"You also wrote: 'On the nose: Python moltings enhanced aggressively with durian and rage'."
"Again, I know my audience."
"Not only are you fired, Harold, but I am deeply concerned that you're biologically incapable of identifying aromas and flavors."
"I did destroy my olfactory receptors during my hometown's 35th Annual Triscuit Insufflation Competition. In hindsight, perhaps I should have mentioned that during my interview. That one's on me."

Cadaretta
-
This winery is named for a ship that once carried our family’s goods to market. Today, that part of our history, that ship’s name, is carried on with a new generation of our family company: Handcrafted wines from our home state. Cadaretta is a Walla Walla winery owned and operated by the Middleton family. The Middleton commitment to Washington State dates back to 1898, when we started the Anderson & Middleton forestry products company in Aberdeen, Washington.We diversified into grapes in California 22 years ago. We’re now bringing that grape and wine experience back to Washington, and to our family roots. We’re planting wines in the Walla Walla Valley viticultural area, and we’ve named our wine “Cadaretta,” after one of our family’s early lumber schooners, used to ship timber from Washington to California in the 1920s and 1930s.Our boutique Walla Walla winery combines our family’s agricultural history with an international style and flair. It joins our essential commitment to the land with our abiding passion for making the best from that land. Cadaretta is a blend of science and soul, tempered with tradition and balance.Two of our wines are generally available. These are our Cadaretta SBS (Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon) and Cadaretta Cabernet Sauvignon. They can be found in fine wine shops and restaurants, and can usually be ordered directly from the winery, through our on-line shop or by telephone.Other wines are made in very small quantities and are available exclusively to our offering list, to winery visitors, and to a handful of retailers and restaurateurs. These wines include Cadaretta Syrah, Cadaretta Springboard (our Bordeaux varietal blend), Cadaretta Windthrow (our Rhone varietal blend).
