Wine Bars Are Getting Weirder With Their Descriptions - The Infatuation
"L’Oursin has been open since 2016, and were pretty early to the wacky descriptions trend. But even though their space looks has the color palette of a Wes Anderson film set, they’ve toned down the whimsy of some of their tasting notes over time. While they used to describe a sauvignon gris as “Iris Apfel with middle fingers out,” they’re now more prone to call a Chardonnay from Bugey, France as “crispy but soft, like a fresh hotel room pillow.” “Tastes like wearing a fresh-pressed linen suit with flip flops. Lightweight and oh so easy, very put together but with a little dust on its toes. A reminder to not take things quite so seriously." Julie et Toby Bainbridge ‘Cuvee Aurora’ Chenin Blanc from Anjou, France" - carlo mantuano
