That's right! The complete winemaker's dozen.
Just look at you. My little 2013 Dry Rosé of Zinfandel ... all grown up. You look just as rosy as your mother did when she was your age. You’ll be quite the knockout at the party, I’m sure. But before your friends pick you up, I thought maybe we could have a bit of a chat.
So your mother told me there will be six bottles of 2014 Sauvignon Blanc East Side Vineyard at the party, too. Now, hold on, before you get all “it’s no big deal” on me, just hear me out. See, I was young and aromatic with a bouquet of passion fruit, peach, and grassy notes once ... just like them. I know what it’s like to be layered with flavors of lemongrass, green apple, and honey. I also know that well-integrated acidity isn’t the ONLY thing on their minds at this age.
Honey, please, I’m not trying to embarrass you! I just want to, you know, be careful. You’re a lovely 2013 Dry Rosé. You have flavors of cherry, vanilla, and red berries, and so naturally they’re going to be interested in getting to know you. I just don’t want you to rush into anything. I know it’s just a party but, I swear, if I hear that one of those Sauvignon Blancs got you to mingle in the same glass as him, I just don’t know what I’ll do!
Okay, fine. I know I’m being overprotective. Your mother told me I need to learn to let go, so I’ll let go. Go to your party. Enjoy yourself. BE CAREFUL. And if any of those punks come near you with a corkscrew, you call home. Daddy will have a baseball bat waiting.
