Wine descriptions can be confusing even to professionals, made more so when the creator has English as a third language. Jimmy has the honour of writing descriptions of all the wines in Swedish on the websites. Conveying how a wine tastes in words is never easy (all wine is after all made of the same fruit) but his amusement is compounded when translating the winemaker’s notes from Fringlish or Spanglish or Australian into Swedish.
Intense pale – where do you go to with this description of a white wine?
Keep up the good work Jimmy!
Cheers
Mark
Or as Procol Harum put it so wonderfully in the 1960s:
“Her face at first, just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale.”
