To Each His Own
Did you see in the news they spotted that man in the woods again, licking the ground?
I heard about that.
Yeah, they're calling him "Johnny Floor-Licker."
Did they catch him?
I don't think he's a danger to the public. He's just a guy who goes around licking the ground.
It's so weird. Why in the world would anyone do that? Blech!
They interviewed a guy who used to know him, and he said it all started after he drank a bottle of Frati Horn Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.
What? Why?
I thought it was strange, too. But then I looked up the wine, and it kinda made sense.
Really? How so?
Well, it all starts off pretty normal. Deep, rich color with a nicely-balanced bouquet of rose petal and strawberry. The taste of bright cherry and rhubarb.
Sounds amazing.
But then that's followed by a long finish of bing cherry, plum, mushroom …
Oh, that's interesting.
… and then, get this … forest floor.
WHAT? What does that even mean?
No idea. But apparently that guy does. And I say, good for you, Johnny Floor-Licker. Good for you.
